What time to board?

[OT2Be2004]

We are cruising on the Pride on 9/19 and will be staying the night before in a hotel. What time should we get to port? We cruised 2 years ago and I don't remember the time frame. Also we are scheduled to have dinner at 6, and the ship isn't leaving til 5....when do they do the muster drill? And is it true you no longer have to wear your life vest for it?

I usually get to the port by between 10:30-11:00. Sure you might need to wait, but you should get a good zone number for boarding. Muster is done right before and sometimes during sailaway and you no longer wear or bring life preservers with you. You'll make your dinner time with no problem.

Sailed carnivalConquest in October still had to where life vest.

Last September on the Pride the first night's dinner was open seating.

We'll also be on that cruise, coming from the Philadelphia area. Our transportation is picking us up at 11:AM. It's probably about a 2 hour ride si we'll probably get there around 1, hopefully by then the early crowd will have already gone onboard.

 

There's a somewhat small rollcall if you'd like to check it out.

We did not have to wear our life jackets in April and that was the first time for us that was the case.

I would get there at 11 as we like to get on early.

 

No more lifejackets at muster station.
