Well, we can certainly say one thing about it. Reading comprehension was not their strong suit. There is no way they are following times with that many people outside at that time. Show me another in two weeks.

Maybe?? We will see in a few weeks... I will keep you posted... We are also getting into spring break season so a lot of "once a year" cruisers who don't know things have changed!

It will settle down. People just need to follow directions, it worked in kindergarten and will work here as well. Sailed out of Miami twice last year and the over crowding in the terminal was insane. Staggered check in will def improve the process.

Started staggered check in today in Miami.... Wow, what an improvement! :rolleyes:

 

Wow that's a major improvement! :D

I hope Ft Lauderdale is not doing this in October. My husband cannot stand thru that line. Thank goodness we do have FTTF just for this reason.

Would FTTF avoid a line like this? :confused: (I sure hope so)

Hard to tell since we don't know what line this is, but assuming this is regular then yes, there would've been a separate line.

I agree reading comprehension is a thing of the past as is rule following.

But they will be on the front of the line griping about it.

Staggered check in begins in March in Miami. It's in the Carnival site.

True enough

It amazes me that you can go on royal Allure or Oasis with over 6,000 people and yet it is so quick and smooth. Carnival has half that amount of people and it is a cluster ****.

What time was this pic taken?

 

Regardless of what time it was, on the previous page of this thread, it states the dates in MARCH that staggered check in will be rolled out. It's not March. I rather doubt they changed it w/o notifying anyone.

I thought staggered check in did not start in Miami until March? Are you posting this picture to show how the staggered check in will alleviate lines like this?

I have a cruise booked in Feb, 2017. I noticed on my cruise docs it says check in time 2.30-3.00. That seems like a really late check in time for a cruise a year away. Its on the Vista. I didn't get to pick my time, it just gave it to me. I've never boarded that late before. Don't know what we will do until then.

You have about a year to figure it out.

Call whoever you booked with and get that sorted out. That can't possibly be right for a cruise a year away. if you really are stuck with that time I'd be pissed off.

Log into Carnival and see if you can change it. Since it's still a year away, plenty of time slots should still be available. I'm thinking 2:30 may be the default time you're assigned if you don't make a selection.

They haven't begun offering the check-in time option on cruises that far out. I have a cruise booked out of Miami next year too. And so far, the option to pick your check-in time is not showing. It will probably open up later. Keep an eye out. I am.

Photo was taken today for the Breeze in Miami. They were in fact enforcing staggered check in and had several layers of checks. Priority entered to left at terminal.

 

I won't be to port of Miami till March 20 so hopefully they have stuff sorted out and streamlined for folks by then.

If the website says staggered check in does not start until march, how could this have been staggered check in? No one would have selected or been assigned a time. So what were they enforcing?

[troublemaker256]

If you do not choose a Checkin time, one will be assigned the morning if departure and an email will be sent to you advising of your Checkin time.

So not Vista?

 

 

By the time Vista arrives, yes Vista also.

Nobody leaving on the Breeze yesterday would have been checked in under the new staggered boarding since it hasn't started yet. Doesn't until next week. So like the previous poster asked, explain to me and everyone else how that pic show the staggered boarding process then?
