Selecting Boarding Time When Platinum

[Boots the Monkey]

Hey all. So we are doing online check in for a cruise in August and the earliest check-in time available is 10:30 (10am is the earliest check-in time on the list, but it was full) . Are we held to that even if we are platinum? Thanks!

Sorry - Thread title should be "CHECK -IN TIME", not BOARDING TIME.

No you can arrive at any time.

[Essiesmom]

You can choose 2pm and arrive at 10am when you are Platinum. EM

No, you aren't.

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 - please select your anticipated check-in time so that we can prepare for your arrival onboard. Please keep in mind that transfers and Faster to the Fun may not be available for all sailings. Departure times can be found on your boarding pass.

Try to arrive at the time you pick. It helps Carnival to see how many people to expect at the different times, but you can arrive at any time.
