2wheelin Posted June 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Haven’t sailed Royal in ages, platinum level. What is typically the earliest assigned arrival times for a short sailing out of Miami? When I went on the app, 12:30 was the earliest available at that time. Any chance earlier may open up? When are cabins ready, usually? Any “secret” places to eat besides the buffet. On Carnival we usually go to the open specialty restaurants at the back of the buffet. Hardly anyone. There. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doors open at 10, you go to the waiting area after checking in, and boarding normally starts at 11. Suites/Pinnacles and Key go first, and then they order by row based on when you arrived.

2wheelin Posted June 21, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Thanks all. Very helpful. Think we will just go when we have to leave hotel even if it is earlier than appointed time. Edited June 21, 2023 by 2wheelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a busy day it can take 45 minutes to get from the port entrance to terminal G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you check in at 45 days out to pick a arrival time? Sounds like you checked in late and earlier slots got filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came up suddenly so hadn’t been keeping up on protocols and didn’t immediately realize checkin was earlier than Carnivals. Just so we get on the ship, but i like to explore right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
