pratzert Posted August 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi. I have a question for all you very experienced Carnival Line Cruisers. How far in advance does the "Arrival/Check-In" time open up prior to your cruise departure date? I have heard 90 days in advance, 6 moths in advance and 7 months in advance. I know I can fill out the passenger information sheets as soon as the booking is on the web site, but I wan to be sure to get as early of an arrival/boarding time as I can when it's open to choose it. Thanks for the info..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted August 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It appears to be random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pratzert Posted August 9, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Thanks. Maybe it's whenever the staff get around to posting it on the web site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermak1 Posted August 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It may be different for the various ships/ports/itineraries, but for me it was 184 days before sailing when I finally got the option to pick an arrival time. It's part of the "online check-in," so if you've already completed everything in there, you'll have to go in and look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiganredrose Posted August 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We are on the Glory, Jan 13th and ours opened up July 24th, so around 6 months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw67 Posted August 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I am on Liberty out of Port Canaveral on December 24, 2017, 137 days out, and it isn't there yet. Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefuninthesun Posted August 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It's totally random from my perspective. Our next cruise is on Fascination out of San Juan in 60 days -- times opened up without fanfare about 2 months ago. However, times for our December/New Year's Eve cruise on Paradise out of Tampa -- almost 3 months after the Fascination date -- opened at the same time. Maybe it depends on the embarkation port?

tw67 Posted August 9, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ours recently opened up for our Feb 10'th cruise out of port canaveral This just goes to show that there is no rhyme or reason for when they open. December 2017, is not open but February 2018 is....hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also cruising on Fascination out of San Juan. We leave Feb 25 and our check in time was able to be picked on July 31, which was about 215 days out. I have no idea when it actually opened because I hadn't checked it in about a week prior to when I realized it was there. So, it is obviously very random, not even the same ports have it open at the same time for every cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyboy Posted August 10, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Very random. Others start to check once booked regardless how far out it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pratzert Posted August 10, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks All. I guess the best thing to do is constantly check to see if it's available. It's a PIA... but that's seem the only solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
