mjmcgove Posted December 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Im sailing on April 22nd, 2017 on the Vista and was wondering how parking is at the port on embarkation day. I will be driving to the port with my wife for the trip, arriving at the port around 9:30AM just because I am always early every where go :o lol. It looks like on our Embarkation day these are the ships in port: Carnival Vista Norwegian Escape Carnival Glory MSC Divina Celebrity Reflection Will I have a really hard time finding a parking spot? Or should I be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted December 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I don't think you will have a hard time other than at 9:30 you may still be waiting for the garages to clear out a bit and porters are dealing more with getting rid of luggage than taking in new.

littlekid58 Posted December 7, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 7, 2016 We are on this cruise with you too... lol They are 16 family members celebrating my parents 60th wedding anniversary. Miami port should be fine after 10. We was just there last month and arrived at 10:30 and no issues.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireofficer5 Posted December 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Doesn't Carnival have assigned times for boarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmcgove Posted December 9, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Doesn't Carnival have assigned times for boarding? They do, but I have something called Faster to the Fun where I get to board early and my room will also be available at that time as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnorris10 Posted December 9, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2016 we are going on the 23rd for divina trip and will be doing the yacht club so we are just wondering what is the best way to do this ... Should we drop off our luggage then go park or is it easy to get from the parking garage to the port checkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizardhowson Posted March 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2017 They do, but I have something called Faster to the Fun where I get to board early and my room will also be available at that time as well To be accurate, FTTF allows you to come to the terminal to check-in at whatever time you wish. You cannot actually board "early". Once the US Authorities clear the ship from the previous cruise, Carnival allows Diamonds, Platinums, weddings, suite guests, then FTTF and general boarding to begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd likes to cruise Posted March 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 12, 2017 There are a number of garages at the port and they direct you to the one closest to your ship. So you will not be competing for a spot in one garage with all those other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
