maxydu Posted March 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi All, This will be my first cruise since they instituted the staggered boarding system. Being a Platinum cruiser, they show my boarding time to be 11-11:30am. In the past I always went straight to the ship from the airport usually arriving at 9:30am. My question is what time do they open the terminal so that passengers can check in and wait till boarding time? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusywillow Posted March 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I heard it's 11 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted March 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2017 11AM is the earliest you can arrive without having to wait outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs45thompson Posted March 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I read somewhere on these boards that someone was able to get in about 10:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted March 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2017 In January we had to wait outside until about 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandi1967 Posted March 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Our boarding says 12;30-3:00. I thought you needed to be on the ship two hours before? So, I am assuming we should not get to the port any earlier than 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalaDragonflyLady Posted March 9, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My recent experience (2/25/17); I got in the first line I came to around 11am-ish but was herded to the priority line by a Carnival employee when they saw my Priority boarding pass. By the time I was checked in, the wedding parties had boarded and they were boarding diamond and platinum. I was on the ship by 11:20 but we were not allowed to go to our cabins until 11:30am, no ifs, ands, or buts! I didn't get there before 11am but it appeared they had begun processing people before that but I think they're being pretty strict with timelines and/or non-priority.
