beloum Posted September 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi, was hoping someone can clarify. Just booked a last minute cruise for this coming weekend. 1st time I booked this late. When I was going through the online check-in, it asked for preferred boarding time. Only option avail was 1:30-2:00. I am platinum and according to the website I should have priority check-in and boarding. My boarding pass does have me listed as PRIORITY, but has 1:30-2:00 check-in time splashed across the top. Do platinum still get to board behind diamond and weddings, or has something changed? Thanks for any input. Also, it assigned early dining. I keep trying to change it to anytime, but won't let me. I assume AT is full? What are chances of changing on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted September 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Yes, If you are Plat you can come when you like as it says priority on your pass. You can go to the maitre d when you get on board to see if you can change to Anytime. It depends on how many people have it and how many are in your travel group.

sad549s Posted September 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I would try to contact JH via Facebook regarding the dining time as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nephthys431 Posted September 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Don't worry about the check in time. You go whenever you want because you are platinum Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottacruises Posted September 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Your dining may or may not be accommodated. Don't let it ruin your trip and have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beloum Posted September 18, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks for the responses. Just seemed off that an arrival time was required, and why it is on boarding pass. As for dining, no big deal, just glad I wasn't stuck with late assigned. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardhowson Posted September 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Carnival is doing staggered check in times, a time slot is required for every passenger/cabin group. Those with priority can arrive when they choose. It is on the boarding pass so those who come early without any priority privileges can be turned away at the terminal entrance.

There will be signs where Diamond and Platinum line up at the port. We arrive about 9:30, as even standing outside in a line is preferable to sitting in a hotel room. You will be able to enter the port building as the line progresses once the port building opens. Do platinum still get to board behind diamond and weddings, or has something changed? Sure do! Thanks for any input. You're welcome. Also, it assigned early dining. I keep trying to change it to anytime, but won't let me. I assume AT is full? What are chances of changing on board? I suggest contacting the person with whom you booked and use the, "Platinum passengers get Priority Dining Time Preferences" card. Have a great cruise.

Sixtytwo Posted September 18, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Just a bit confused...does your boarding pass show "Priority" on it anywhere? If not, you will probably get challenged trying to checkin earlier than your assigned time. If it does not say priority, I would be checking to see why it doesn't and getting it corrected!

As for dining, no big deal, just glad I wasn't stuck with late assigned. Thanks again About a year ago Carnival started doing staggered check-in and requiring pax to choose a check-in time. (BTW that time is your CHECK-IN time, NOT your boarding time). You can ignore it as long as you're platinum and it says "priority" in the upper left corner of your boarding pass.
