summerlove69 Posted June 17, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2005 If we get to Galveston and check-in etc. by noon, what time can we actually get into the cabin? I know they won't be available at noon, but might we get in by 2ish? Thanks, Bridget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucksta63 Posted June 17, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2005 We were told 1pm so I would say YEA!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted June 17, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Maybe I've just been lucky, but I'm usually on the ship around noonish, and my cabin has always been ready. If yours isn't ready, you'll probably see your steward in the area, and he won't mind if you drop your carry-ons in there.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip2cruise Posted June 17, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 17, 2005 If you board early you might get a paper instructing you that your cabin wont be available until 1-1:30pm. I have always found that my cabin was already cleaned and ready when I boarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted June 17, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2005 My last few cruises on Carnival the cabins were not ready until around 1:00 and they had the areas closed off using the fire doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner1909 Posted June 18, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I guess we've been lucky; we usually board about noon and the cabin has always been ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindalo5032 Posted June 18, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2005 That's probably why they are in a hurry to get everybody off the ship at the end of a cruise--they have to get everything clean & ready for the next passengers, and sail again that evening :rolleyes: You gotta wonder how they get everything done in such a short period of time :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke3 Posted June 18, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Who prepares the rooms? Room stewards only or do they have help? They do seem to have a short time to prepare the rooms. I also always wondered, how many rooms per room steward on each cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted June 18, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Who prepares the rooms? Room stewards only or do they have help? They do seem to have a short time to prepare the rooms. I also always wondered, how many rooms per room steward on each cruise? The cabin steward will pay for help. We had a steward on deck 6 that had 26 cabins...His name was Mario) he paid someone who worked the laundry rooms to help him on her off hours. Some stewards have a smaller amount of cabins. It goes with experience. I also suggest not to just leave the carry-ons in the cabin unless you get an all clear from a cabin steward. THe cabins are not secured until 1pm. Cabin stewards need to get a clearance from a mgr to give an all clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We arrived at the Galveston pier about 11:15, checked in and at noon they started letting us board. We are in the Skipper's Club, but I heard them letting the others start going on board also right after our group. We were able to go straight to our cabin.
