CruiseHealing Posted April 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I know that D&Ps can complete their docs 2 days before everyone else on the cruise. But does Carnival pre-board D&Ps after suites? Also do they still provide a separate waiting area/lounge for D&Ps, like they did prepandemic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you get a boarding group number that is assigned when you get your arrival appointment. Once boarding starts, they call people by boarding numbers. Earliest arrival appointments get lowest numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Port Canaveral for the Magic, Diamonds do go upstairs along with Suites to await boarding all others including Platinum waited downstairs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnoliaBlossom Posted April 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Depends on port,nas others have said. In Galveston, pre covid we did have a separate waiting are but in March we just received a number which didn’t matter because we went from registration at 11:30 straight up the ga g way 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinqt Posted April 28, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2022 On the Horizon in February in Miami we didn’t have a separate waiting area. But they did call Diamond & Platinum to board first before everyone else was called. So we got priority boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry but just off the Magic in March and this month and practice was the same. On this months cruise there was close to 600 Platinum guests so i can see Carnival changing the tiers once again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it's just evolved over time. 23 hours ago, groundloop said: That wasn't the case in any of the ports I've sailed out of, they had to sit with all of us commoners until their boarding group was called. It varies not only by ports but by terminals. Magic @ terminal 6 and Mardi Gras @ terminal 3 were completely different. No priority boarding or separate seating area for Diamond/Platinum cruisers for Mardi Gras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No priority boarding or separate seating area for Diamond/Platinum cruisers for Mardi Gras. Agreed, same for our Magic last October, we are Platinum and were sent up the escalator with Diamond and suites as we have on many others out of this terminal. January cruise on Mardi Gras was different only suites were in a special waiting area (there is no upstairs), after they boarded it was by group number. Note the Mardi Gras has its separate dock #5 I believe that only that ship uses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
