question about boarding....

[jerseygirl09]

We are flying in the morning of..really early...and our cruise leaves at 4pm. Just wondering, how early can you board?

Not sure the official time but you are just fine if you show up straight from the airport. We've arrived as early as about 10:30 or 11. You certainly want to be there well before 2 pm but I'm not sure about the manefest cut off time.

[Muumuu]

We usually arrive before 10 and on board by 1130 at the latest.

Once arrived before 0800 but that was because our daughter was getting off her first cruise and we were boarding the same ship for our first cruise. Just had to hear how it was.

Love to people watch.

If you have paid your final payment, you can access your eDocs on Carnival.com. On your eDocs, they have listed your earliest time and latest time to board for that particular ship, port, and sailing date. For example, we are sailing on the Elation out of Mobile on the day it arrives from the Panama Canal cruise. It arrives later in the morning and our earliest boarding time is 12:30PM, but we found this out by checking out our documents. :)

If you get to the port by 11:00am you are usually on the ship having lunch by 12:15
