Question about check-in

Hi, was hoping someone can clarify. Just booked a last minute cruise for this coming weekend. 1st time I booked this late. When I was going through the online check-in, it asked for preferred boarding time. Only option avail was 1:30-2:00. I am platinum and according to the website I should have priority check-in and boarding. My boarding pass does have me listed as PRIORITY, but has 1:30-2:00 check-in time splashed across the top. Do platinum still get to board behind diamond and weddings, or has something changed? Thanks for any input. Also, it assigned early dining. I keep trying to change it to anytime, but won't let me. I assume AT is full? What are chances of changing on board?

Yes, If you are Plat you can come when you like as it says priority on your pass.

You can go to the maitre d when you get on board to see if you can change to Anytime. It depends on how many people have it and how many are in your travel group.

I would try to contact JH via Facebook regarding the dining time as soon as possible.

Don't worry about the check in time. You go whenever you want because you are platinum

can you waitlist anytime dinning? If so I would try that and hopefully you will be cleared.

Your dining may or may not be accommodated. Don't let it ruin your trip and have a great cruise.

Thanks for the responses. Just seemed off that an arrival time was required, and why it is on boarding pass. As for dining, no big deal, just glad I wasn't stuck with late assigned. Thanks again

Carnival is doing staggered check in times, a time slot is required for every passenger/cabin group. Those with priority can arrive when they choose.

It is on the boarding pass so those who come early without any priority privileges can be turned away at the terminal entrance.

Hi!

There will be signs where Diamond and Platinum line up at the port. We arrive about 9:30, as even standing outside in a line is preferable to sitting in a hotel room. You will be able to enter the port building as the line progresses once the port building opens.

 

Do platinum still get to board behind diamond and weddings, or has something changed?

Sure do!

 

Thanks for any input.

You're welcome.

I suggest contacting the person with whom you booked and use the, "Platinum passengers get Priority Dining Time Preferences" card.

Have a great cruise.

Just a bit confused...does your boarding pass show "Priority" on it anywhere? If not, you will probably get challenged trying to checkin earlier than your assigned time. If it does not say priority, I would be checking to see why it doesn't and getting it corrected!

About a year ago Carnival started doing staggered check-in and requiring pax to choose a check-in time. (BTW that time is your CHECK-IN time, NOT your boarding time). You can ignore it as long as you're platinum and it says "priority" in the upper left corner of your boarding pass.

Still the same.
