Escape Boarding?

I can't vouch entirely for the 2pm deadline, but I have boarded just after 1pm before. Much like flying, if you want to ensure things go stress free and leave room for any issues that may arise, I would personally aim for an earlier time than 2pm.

 

Most of the larger ships in the bigger terminals lead to fairly quick embarkation. Even with a bigger group. Grab a late breakfast/early lunch, get to the ship and wait out some of the crowds before grabbing food.

 

Just my 2 cents.

 

 

Come late and you might not find a parking space in the garage next to the ship and have to walk to another garage to find a space. That happened to me on one Pearl cruise and I was nervous when I got to the Carnival garage and that one was almost full too.

And don't listen to the porters tell you it doesn't matter which terminal you go into. My mother needed W/C assistance onto the ship on the Escape cruise last week. He told us to use the closest one and we thought he knew what he was talking about since my mother needed to get the W/C. Well, we were stopped at the door and told to go to the other terminal.

We are in the Haven as well; our documents say Terminal C, but supposedly we have priority boarding. I cruise tomorrow so I can let you know.

 

 

The have the same facilities in both terminals, so you will get the same Haven guest treatment in both. Just use the one your documentation tells you to, like everyone else. :)

Yes, there will be Haven's check-in immediately after security. They will hold you in the lounge and escort you onboard the ship.

Hi all-

 

Maybe this is answered somewhere else but I cant seem to find out. do you go through security first and port of miami then check in and get your keycard or do you get your keycard and then do security. also does each terminal have thier own waiting area to board or once upstairs is it one waiting room where we can meet up with our party? half was put in terminal B the other in C.

 

Thanks for your help!
