Boarding Time

[cruisnmomof2]

All I've seen on Carnival's website is that we are leaving at 4:00 pm for our cruise. What time should we get to the port?

thanks,

Usually boarding will begin 11:30 or 12:00 in spite of what your documents say. Go either early 11ish or wait until 3pm after the crowd. The earlier you get on the more time you have to explore the ship and have your first foo-foo drink!

It really depends on when the ship is cleared of the previous cruisers. One time we were on as early as 11:30 and as late as 1:30. (ship didn't clear customs till late) We try and arrive between 10:30 and 11:00 and get in line. It's like having an extra cruise day when you get on early. :)

I agree. For my first two cruises, I was there around 11ish and was on board about noon both times.

Leave Byram around 8am, and you'll be just about right!:)
