srwhudson Posted April 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2004 According to the Carnival info, embarkation begins at 1:30. What time do most of you go to the pier?

bjkeen Posted April 13, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I usually embark at lunch time (12:30 p.m.) and have lunch while everyone else is in the embarkation line. I had a steak on the Inspiration you could cut with your fork. We are getting the entire months quota of rain in 24 hrs. the weather should be good in a couple of days. Come on down.

pazooter Posted April 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2004 We have always arrived at 11:00 a.m. and got in line outside the terminal. At that time you'll see around 100 folks already in line. They usually open the terminal door at 11:00. We check in which is usually very quick this early. Then you'll sit in the waiting area and admire the ship from the large windows. They start the boarding at 12:15.

thebird Posted April 14, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Pazooter, or anyone else who knows.. I wanted to get there at 11:00 also, but I wondered if skipper's club would be able to board before 12:15? Lead, Follow, or Get the $&@* out of the way!

pazooter Posted April 14, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2004 12:15 seems to be a magical number with Carnival boarding. It's the earliest I've seen. Usually wedding groups embark first, if there are any. But otherwise, the Skippers club doesn't seem to be any earlier than anyone else.

srwhudson Posted April 14, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi pics - I've found that work can certainly get in the way of vacation planning! Our season ends on April 15. Our vacation begins on April 17. Definitely looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castaway Posted April 14, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 14, 2004 On March 14th we arrived at the pier a little before 11 a.m., found a porter to take our luggage and then proceded to check-in. We were in Group three, they started boarding at Noon and we were in our cabin at 12:15. The boarding time depends on what time they previous passengers got off the ship. When we arrived back in port on the 21st, we were getting off the ship at about the same time we got on the previous Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
