sp29488 Posted December 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I know it's still early for us and we don't know when it'll be rolled out for our port but I was wondering: I already did online checkin so when it is rolled out for our embarkation port where do you look to choose your check in time?

serene56 Posted December 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2015 ITs a free for all. With Carnival you dont get to pick a check in time You show up as early as possible (Between 10:30-11am) and be onboard by noon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted December 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2015 @serene There are some ports who are doing real staggered embarkation where you DO pick your time and it is then on your boarding pass. It would be interesting to know the answer to the original question?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's rolled out you will see "check in time" located in the same place that tells you your dining time, bed choice and cabin number. You have to go back and edit your online checkin and it will simply give you a drop down menu to choose the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller_KC Posted December 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm on a cruise that is impacted by the N.O. roll out. After seeing it on John's FB page I went to Manage my cruise, then on the My Cruise Details page, clicked on the "Online Check-In" button. On the Check-in page that opens there is a "My Check In Time" button on the left that opens a window with a drop down box with 30 minute windows to choose from. I selected one and it made the selection for everyone in the cabin. Back on the My Cruise Details page I now see the check-in time I selected below my Dining Time.

averrette Posted December 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I got a letter telling us we have to pick a check in time. I tried to attach the letter but not sure if it worked. It said if you come early, you will be just not be able to go to the check in window til you specified time. We are sailing out of New Orleans.

When you did this, did you have to complete the entire form (add credit card number)? I really didn't want to put my credit card number in the system so soon with my cruise not until Aug 2016. Why give hackers, etc, any more time with your credit card number. ( I am also at work right now and don't have the card with me so I cannot finish it. :rolleyes: ) Edited December 17, 2015 by familyoutdoors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wait to add mine when I check in at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, they didn't even officially check in. No passport info, etc....and they were allowed to select their check in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbaby Posted December 18, 2015 #17 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Guests who are part of our Priority Program (Diamond, Platinum and suites), have purchased transfers with Carnival or 'Faster to the Fun' must still select a window online, but are invited to come at their leisure, up to one (1) hour prior to sailing. Departure times can be found on your boarding pass. Guests who arrive prior to their check-in window will not be permitted to enter the cruise terminal and will be asked to return at their scheduled check-in time. This will be strictly enforced so we can achieve the desired guest experience. Guests who arrive after their designated check-in time will be accommodated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamagirl_gina Posted December 18, 2015 #18 Share Posted December 18, 2015 That would not affect me as I am platinumbut what happens if you are late? One of our group called Carnival with that question. They said that nothing happens if you are late, you just can't be early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
