Ecstasy times -Port of Galveston

[workin4theweekend]

Hi everyone!

 

We sail tomorrow morning on the Ecstasy out of the port of Galveston. Our tickets as well as Carnival say embarkation is at 12:30. Went to the port today to look at different parking options and the Carnival attendant told us he would get there at 9:30 if he were us. Anyone know why he would recommend getting there so early? I sailed the Conquest from here in Oct. But Carnival shuttled us in then so I cannot remember a time. Any help or suggestions souls be greatly appreciated.

You for sure do not need to get to the port at 9:30 a.m. If you do that you will be in the big middle of everyone debarking. I have sailed on The Ecstasy several times and usually get there about 11:30 - Noon. No problems at all. I have no idea why they would tell you to get there that early.

I kinda figured that there would be an issue with the incoming PAX but wanted to make sure. I appreciate your reply, didn't know if anyone would be on this late!
