Appreciate the feedback, all. Baffled that Carnival would say to arrive by 1PM and offer shuttle service if that's not fast enough...

See post above, please. I'm not sure I understand why Carnival would provide guidelines AND offer shuttle transportation service that doesn't meet their boarding guidelines?

So even though my flight arrives as 12:45PM (before their required 1:00PM) AND I've booked transportation through Carnival that has 1:00PM - 2:00PM window, I should be worried? Why would they offer a 1:00PM - 2:00PM shuttle?

I called Carnival, and the representative was polite but not very helpful. Hoping someone here can answer my question... I completed online check-in yesterday. I was given a 1:30 to 2:00 boarding "Arrival Appointment" with a 2:30 "Final Boarding". No other option was available. My flight lands at 12:45, in accordance with the "no longer than 1:00 PM the day of your cruise" policy for Orlando. I also booked roundtrip airport transfer through Carnival, with a 1:00 to 2:00 window for that shuttle. I'm not positive when the Carnival shuttle will leave the airport, so I can't say for sure if I'll meet the arrival window or final boarding that were given to me. However, my flight arrives before the Carnival's policy and the shuttle is Carnival. Any reason I should be concerned that they're going to leave me on the pier?
