*Mach* Posted March 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Welcome to Cruise Critic! We're thrilled to have you on board. When I sail from Galveston I like to get to the port at about 10 or 10:30. With a bit of luck you'll board a little after 11. Of course, that depends on the ship being cleared of the previous passengers so your mileage may vary... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted March 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Often around 10:45 they start, but this last time it was about 11:15 am, they were running a little late it seemed like. We couldnt get to our cabins until 1:30 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTTONS THE CABINBOY Posted March 1, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Sorry to say every carnival cruise that we have been on, boarding time is around 12-12;30. And i have been on 10 criuses. Don't arrive early and stand waiting for them to let you on ,it can be a real pain in the butt,if you have to wait over a hour. And make sure you wear dress shorts with black socks and sandals for pre boarding. They may let you on faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been onboard many ships at 11:00-11:15. No sense waiting to start a great vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QLUVS2CRUZ Posted March 1, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We were on the Ecstasy by 11:30 even with a long line at the pier. I have no idea what wearing black socks and sandals has to do with getting on the ship faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbaqua Posted March 1, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2009 we've gotten on around 11:30 before the grandkids were in the pool before most people we even on the ship if you're going on April 18th by any chance, I'll be on there with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
