Rare LMaxwell Posted March 1, 2016 #101 Share Posted March 1, 2016 For all.... And no one loses, net gain for all. What is the latest timeframe someone could potentially be assigned to be allowed in the terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlomonte Posted March 1, 2016 #102 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Don't have a definite answer to that question it would depend on embarkation time of ship. Most ships out of Miami sail at 4 pm. So I would assume between 2:30 and 3:00 Under the current system for the Breeze over 50% (over 2000) of the passengers are inside the terminal by 10:30 am. And as the picture shows more then 1000 passengers waiting to get in. Boarding does not begin until disembarkation has been completed and general clearance has been given which in most days is after 11:45. Carnival posted boarding time is 1:30 pm. As a result most passengers experience long lines and long waiting times to board the ship. I think all in all this should be a vast improvement and better experience.

Rare jimbo5544 Posted March 1, 2016 #103 Share Posted March 1, 2016 What is the latest timeframe someone could potentially be assigned to be allowed in the terminal? I think it is about an hour before sailing. I am curious as to why you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all in all this should be a vast improvement and better experience. I agree - it should be a big improvement. Before all of the FTTF passengers and increase of Plats & Diamonds it was not such a big deal for there to be a large number of people show up early. Now with people paying to have the right to be First to the Fun, you have a lot of people expecting to register & board at the earliest time possible. Add them to the priority people and the people who just show up early and you can have a real chaotic mess - which I have seen a number of times.

realtrip Posted March 1, 2016 #106 Share Posted March 1, 2016 ok, so I see platinum can check in whenever. Just pick a time. Everyone has their own boarding pass. What if my cabin mate is not platinum ( I am), do we still check-in together? Do I have to insure cabin mate and I have the same time or does the fact of being Platinum over ride that? Thanks!

Only those passengers within there current checkin window will be able to gain entry into the terminal. The earliest stating time is 10:00 am to 10:30 am All passengers are required to have a boarding pass with a checkin time to enter the terminal. If you printed and old style boarding pass without a checkin time and have not gone back to online checkin to choose a checkin time one will be assigned to you after midnight of your date of embarkation. An email with your boarding pass and checkin time will be sent. If you don't have a boarding pass there will be curbside agents who will be able to help you and provide you with a pass to enter the terminal at you correct checkin time. Diamond, Platimum, FTTF and Suites will also be required to select a checkin time while doing there online registration however they will be allowed to enter the terminal upon arrival regardless of checkin time on boarding pass. Only those passengers in the current checkin window will be allowed to get in the queuing to enter.

There will also be a second queuing area for those passengers in the next checkin time. They will not be allowed to enter the terminal until there time is called.

Hope this helps I just want to make sure I understand. If I'm Platinum, which I will be on my next booked cruise, and my husband is not, he will have to wait until his check in time because he will not be able to board early with me. If we want to board together I will need to wait for him, even though we are sharing the same room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatPem Posted March 5, 2016 #119 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I think this will be a great thing. The only downside is for those that do not follow the rules and end up waiting...which will their own fault. I think this will ease the lines tremendously.

That is, unless there's someone on board for a B2B. I wish instead of posting the pix of the people drinking the beer, they would post the video of the people running to the bar.

No, because CHECK-IN time is not the same as BOARDING TIME. It still will be limited to those people with a check-in time before boarding starts, but boarding does not start until well after 10:00am. No one ever had a chance of winning unless they had checked in before boarding started and had a low zone number - it will remain the same now.
