Boarding / parking question

[Scooters Daddy]

Haven't sailed since they started staggered boarding times . How early can you drop off your luggage and park in New Orleans ?

No idea if it's changed, but when I sailed out of New Orleans back in March it was the normal boarding I'm used to: The earlier you arrive, the quicker you board. As you arrive you're placed in a boarding group. If boarding group 1 is full you're put in 2. If 2 is full you're in 3. I think I arrived around 10am and was in group 5 I think. Had I arrived at the time printed on my paperwork, I would have boarded the ship in a later group probably 30 minutes later than I did.
