Check-in to Boarding Time on Carnival Dream

[GiftieEtcetera]

We leave on the Dream out of New Orleans on July 24th. We have a check-in time of 10:30.

 

How long can we expect to wait until we actually get on the ship? Will we be on by lunch time?

They usually start boarding the wedding parties, VIPs and then FTTF around 1130.

So around late lunch time, then. :) We will plan accordingly.

If you are not platinum or have FTTF, I am sure you will be on board by noon especially if you get to the port at 1030am. If there is any change, I will let you know. I am going back on the Dream in 4 weeks!!! :D

So if FTTF starts boarding at 11:30?? We have a check in time from 10:30-11:00; does that no longer apply? Thanks so much-

Check in time is the time you actually check in for cruise.

 

Boarding time is when you get on ship

 

two different things.

We definitely understood that we would check-in and wait to board. We just hoped we'd board by noonish. We did that Summer of 2014 in NOLA and it went really smoothly. But that was before staggered check-in.

 

Honestly, my husband is so cheap that he insists on not missing that meal on the cruise. :)
