firemanbobswife Posted March 24, 2016 #26 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Another side benefit for staggered check in fleetwide might be that unless a would be terrorist has a boarding pass, he/they won't get inside a terminal with a bomb packed in a suitcase, like they did in Brussels. Curbside check point, consider it in this light of additional layered security. They always checked our boarding passes before letting us in the terminal before anyway. I shudder to think of any scenario like this but where there's a will, there's a way. I imagine a boarding pass wouldn't be that hard to make on a computer. The only way to make sure actual ticketed passengers are entering would be to scan the barcodes at the entrance. Even then, nothing is guaranteed.

Shhhq Posted June 15, 2016 #27 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I just did online check in yesterday for my August cruise out of PC and nothing stating times or staggered checkins. Now I am nervous that I will mess something up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdmundXXIII Posted June 15, 2016 #29 Share Posted June 15, 2016 We have staggered check in for our cruise out of Norfolk in October. Yep. I can confirm Norfolk now has staggered check-in for all cruises and they are enforcing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted June 15, 2016 #30 Share Posted June 15, 2016 This is all that the faq has to say on the Carnival site: Staggered Check-In has been rolled out to all vessels sailing from Galveston, Honolulu, Miami, New Orleans and Norfolk. Nothing is mentioned about if and when they will add other ports for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallivanting Souls Posted June 22, 2016 #31 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I am subscribing to this thread so hopefully I will get a heads up for Port Everglades (Conquest) in December and SJU in June (Fascination). ***Please*** anyone if you hear either of these ports go staggered, post, so I will get a notification. I am too lazy to get onto my Carnival account daily. :rolleyes: Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes11 Posted June 22, 2016 #32 Share Posted June 22, 2016 You have to be paid in full in order to select a check in time, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted June 22, 2016 #33 Share Posted June 22, 2016 You have to be paid in full in order to select a check in time, is this correct? Incorrect. You just have to be booked so you can access your reservation. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2trvlnow Posted June 22, 2016 #34 Share Posted June 22, 2016 You have to be paid in full in order to select a check in time, is this correct? Unless things have changed recently the answer is No. We were on the Magic in March and we signed up for our check in time before we had paid for the cruise is full. Just go to the check in area and choose your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes11 Posted June 22, 2016 #35 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I can't find where it says to pick a time. I tried to view and print boarding pass and it says I need to be paid in full to do so. We are on the Vista in December out of Miami. Where do I select a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the Vista in December out of Miami. Where do I select a time? The Vista is not yet set up for staggered check in. Keep checking. It will be added closer to when she is scheduled to arrive in Miami. None of the Vista sailings out of Miami are set up for staggered check-in.

TerReuv Posted June 23, 2016 Author #38 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Unless things have changed recently the answer is No. We were on the Magic in March and we signed up for our check in time before we had paid for the cruise is full. Just go to the check in area and choose your time. I didn't think Port Canaveral had staggered check in in March? I didn't think it had started yet for that port. We don't sail until next year, but I would assume that when that port starts doing it, it will be available for all cruises booked. Does anyone know if that is how it happens or does it open up a set amount of time before cruise time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Port Canaveral but in March the Magic was still in Galveston and that was the first port that had the staggered check in.

Rare Racegirl6 Posted June 24, 2016 #41 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I did online check in yesterday for our September cruise out of Charleston. My passes say check in 12:30 - 2:30. No choice was given. I like that time slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin Hogs Posted June 29, 2016 #45 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Galveston is strict on the entry times into the terminal , You have to go thru 3 to 4 people ,all who want to see your check in time on your paperwork . They do turn people away that try to board early. In Galveston there is no where to sit outside the terminal . I have not been to other ports since staggered boarding has started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
