Freedom - What time does the terminal open?

[CruiseMelissa]

We sailed Freedom last year, we got to the terminal around 10:15 and boarded shortly after 11.  I don't remember what our check-in time was.

 

Does it still open around 10?  I've read that the earliest check-in time in the app is 11:30, 11:00 for key/suite guests which makes me think it opens later?   Unless they're letting people check in before those times?

That likely varies a bit with each sailing. The earliest check in time doesn’t determine when the terminal workers actually let you check in.

I have a question about the entrances.  I remember a long drive in the middle between the two buildings of Terminal A, with luggage drop-off points.  But, I get Port Everglades and Port of Miami mixed up about where the Suite and Pinnacle entrance is.  Is it at the beginning of that drive through, or at the end?

 

We are leaving on the 18th, and it's going to be very hot, so I want to avoid a lot of walking.  Plus, I have found that most Uber drivers have a hard time navigating in cruise ports generally.  So, knowing ahead of time where we want to be dropped off is important.

 

Thanks!
