Galveston and staggard check in time - Just the facts

[Naomi John]

Leaving out of Galveston soon. Trying to comprehend the staggard check in.

 

Plat/Dia - do not have to pick a time - correct?

 

FTTF - have to pick a check in time, but it doesn't matter? I have also read they have to pick a check in time, it does matter, but the rooms are ready anyway.

 

Everyone else - Pick a check in time and have to wait if they arrive before that time.

Here's an excerpt that directly addresses your question:

 

Q: When should I arrive at the terminal?

A: You must arrive at the cruise terminal within the 30 minute check-in window you selected. Check-in windows will be strictly enforced so that we can minimize wait times in the terminal. Guests who are part of our Priority Program (Diamond, Platinum and suites), have purchased transfers with Carnival or 'Faster to the Fun' must still select a window online, but are invited to come at their leisure, up to one (1) hour prior to sailing. Departure times can be found on your boarding pass.
