Port Everglades Boarding Question

[storknurse13]

We will be traveling via personal car to Port Everglades in October to board Allure. How early will they let me drop off luggage with porters and park in garage? How early will they allow us into the cruise terminal?

We usually plan on arriving around 11-11:30. The problem with too early is you'll conflict with everyone trying to get off the ship. I've never heard of anyone being turned away, but I imagine you'll have to sit with your luggage for a while because the porters will be busy with those debarking. Since you're driving, it really wouldn't be in your best interest to get into the mess trying to leave the previous cruise.

We’ve arrived between 10:15 and 10:30 and there’s been several hundred already ahead of us. Terminal check ins had begun and once done you just sat upstairs and waited until around 11 when boarding started.

We've dropped bags at 9:45am before.
