hannahsmomtoo Posted September 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2012 So - ( Good morning ! ) I just got a call ( pre-recorded ) from Carnival asking that I arrive at the ship Sunday between 130-330 "for a smooth check in process." That is MUCH later than I planned... Is this just a suggested thing they do? To try and space people out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelvee Posted September 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's just a suggestion. Get there when you planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Banditswife Posted September 20, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Enjoy you 1st cruise. We plan on getting to the port around 11AM for our cruise- I think those are just suggestions. You may encounter a long line, but once they start boarding - it moves quickly. Make sure you come back & tell us about your cruise. Good luck, have a great time.

mom2two2 Posted September 20, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2012 We always ignore the time frame because I want to get onboard as soon as possible to start that vacation! We usually arrive at the pier around 11:00 and are onboard for lunch. Having said that, we go with the understanding there will be a line and we will wait.

snorkelgirlca Posted September 21, 2012 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2012 So - ( Good morning ! ) I just got a call ( pre-recorded ) from Carnival asking that I arrive at the ship Sunday between 130-330 "for a smooth check in process." That is MUCH later than I planned... Is this just a suggested thing they do? To try and space people out? So that is why they called twice on my cell phone this am and left no message. I have a suite (not trying to brag but only to explain why the call made no sense to me). And I won't whine I promise. See you all on the ship Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyz Posted September 21, 2012 #19 Share Posted September 21, 2012 And I'll probably have one when I get home! Yep, same message when I got home today, they used to call after we had already left home the day before the cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skye02 Posted September 21, 2012 #20 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've gotten that call in the past, too. I've always ignored it and we just get there when we get there. They're not going to keep you off the ship. I think it would be cool to be the first one on the ship one day.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyz Posted September 21, 2012 #21 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think it would be cool to be the first one on the ship one day.:) We did that once on the 2nd leg of a B2B, it's pretty cool. Since we've been Platinum, we're one of the first handful on the ship, you can't embark before the handicapped folks or weddings tho.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie48 Posted September 21, 2012 #22 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I got the call this AM on my cell phone, we ignore it as we are platinum and we wat to br on early!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
