Email regarding boarding time

[azurewater]

We have sailed numerous times on Carnival, but never out of Miami. The other day we both received emails regarding the boarding time, which was listed as 1:00-2:30 pm. Normally, we cruise out of New Orleans and would board whenever we wanted. I do not recall ever getting an email like this one.

 

Is this unique to Miami? something new? Is it stirctly enforced?

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

Ignore it, everyone else does.

Carnival is trying to spread the arrival crowd out a little. Get to the port when you want to.

Exactly. Got same e-mail for Breeze last week, ignored it, walked right on at my normal time.

Thanks for your replies.

I got the email for my sailing on the Breeze this Sunday. I don't know why they bother to send them to Platinum guests since priority embarkation is a perk that we all look forward to.

 

I'm usually checked in by 11am and on the ship no later than noon in every port I've sailed from. I would never wait until 1pm to arrive at the pier.

We are usually at the port by about 1030am and there's usually already a few hundred people there.
