The Badger Posted February 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi In this scenario, does the Platinum person board separately to the Gold person, even if they are in the same cabin? My check in time is 11:30, but obviously the Platinum person can get on earlier if they wish, so would she get on first and meet me on the ship?

RHilla619 Posted February 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2017 You should be able to board together using the Platinum perks, if one person on the booking is Platinum the boarding perk is extended to the other guest in that cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtytwo Posted February 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2017 If you are booked in the same cabin, yes, both board together with the Platinums. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2trvlnow Posted February 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Both board together. I have done it several times with my son who is Platinum and I was Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted February 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2017 We are in that situation. I (Gold) board with my Platinum partner. My luggage tags are marked Priority. When we are together, we go to the Priotity line at GS; if I go alone, I use the regular line. If I am with him, I can use priority tender boarding, but not by myself. Only he gets the Platinum gift, other than one time when two Tervis tumblers were given to us. I am not invited to the Platinum & Diamond party, but he doesn't care for them and wouldn't go if I was invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadere Posted October 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I have a question... I'll be platinum on our next cruise, while I'm pretty sure my husband and two kids (in the same room as me) will board with me. The twist is, we are taking our two nieces with us (18 &19), they will be in a a cabin across the hall from us. We are paying for it all, booked at the same time, but they have a different booking/confirmation number. Where will they check in? Will their cards be with mine, or in the regular area? Don't really care, they are big kids, and can check in themselves, but just wondering if they would be included with us since we are "responsible" for them.

Nieces in separate room correct? They are on their own. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riclop Posted October 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2017 You should board together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted October 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Since they are 18 and 19 they may actually check in with you. Typically hough, it is by cabin. This has been my experience. My son's are in a separate cabin (12 and 18 at time of last sailing) and as it was explained to me, because they cannot sail alone, then they board with you. An 18 and 19 year old cannot book a cabin (with perhaps a marriage exception to my knowledge) and sail without a guardian. That logic makes sense to me. The boys cards were not in the platinum area, so they did have to go to the regular to get them. They seemed to have no issue as it was 12:30/1 pm when we arrived so there was no one in the Platinum line. That may have been part of the key to our success.

Sadere Posted October 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks for the information. So they can't board without us, is that what I'm hearing? So, they will need to be with us? If they go by themselves in the "regular" line will they be turned away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeinthesand Posted October 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks for the information. So they can't board without us, is that what I'm hearing? So, they will need to be with us? If they go by themselves in the "regular" line will they be turned away? If your cabins are linked in the computer and you check in first, they would be able to go by themselves. It's possible if you are separated you will probably check in first because of a quicker check in, then they would be able to check in through the regular line. If you are seperated you can come right back together after the security check in. No need to stress over it, have fun! Fyi, it's a grey area for the port workers. if they were 16, no question. Being 18 and 19, sometimes they separate, sometimes they dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really care, they are big kids, and can check in themselves, but just wondering if they would be included with us since we are "responsible" for them. The easiest way to figure out if your nieces will be allowed into the priority check-in area is to print out the luggage tags or boarding passes associated with their cabin. If these do not have the FttF logo and/or say priority on them then Carnival is considering them adult enough to check themselves in through general boarding. Since staggered check-ins have been adopted by almost all of the ports Carnival uses, the port authority clerks have been more vigilant about checking paperwork. Without Priority showing on their boarding pass, there is doubt that port personnel would allow them to proceed to the Priority check-in counter with you since a quick look at their IDs would show them to be over 18.
