Earliest Miracle boarding time?

[kaz1961]

What is the earliest you can board the Miracle out of NYC? I would like to get there as early as possible to beat the crowds.

Get to the dock at 11:15. We beat the crowds, and was on board by 12:30.

We were told that if we REALLY wanted to skip the lines, wait, etc that the best time to get to the pier is around 2:30 or 3:00 pm. Sure enough, when we looked over at the terminal, it was totally empty!

Absolutely, but you miss lunch by the time you get on board!

Why are you asking that question, you have tickets don't you. Why not look on the tickets and follow what Carnival has to say. Maybe than there wouldn t be so many complaints about the traffic getting into the pier because the people that are just getting back from their cruise will be gone.

 

Do you think Carnival tells you the wrong time because they want you to miss an hour of your vacation.

 

Traffic is bad, but it doesn't help that people are trying to get off the ship and at the same time people are trying to get on. There is one way in and one way out, this is not a big port like Ft Lauderdale. This is a major city with lots of traffic. It doesn t help matters any when you and 600 other people decide to get there 3 hours early.

 

I understand going to the port early because your flight got in early, but most who come early are the ones who drive and can't understand why there is so much traffic coming out of the port and why they can't get in.

Do they think they won't get a parking space. For the insane amount of $24.00 per day they will get a spot.

 

Sorry for going on and on but was really *****off this morning when 2 ship loads of people are trying to leave the port and 2 ship loads are trying to get into the port at the same time and I'm stuck at the same light for 20 min.

And all anyone knew how to do was yell at the police who are trying to help.

One said he took this job to help and serve the people not to be abused by them.
