How soon is to soon

[Rallytime1975]

Just curious on a cruise out of Miami, when the boat arrives at 8:00 from the prior saling and we leave at 4pm, when is the best time to arrive at the Pier?

Whatever time you are able to select as your check-in time.

Anytime before 10:30 is too soon. Let the returning cruisers get off the ship and in their cars before you show up. On out last cruise, we were getting off the ship shortly before nine and there were people outside waiting to get in the terminal.

Agree. You will need to arrive at your check in time or later unless you are Diamond, Platinum, Suite, FTTF, or take a Carnival transfer from the port.

If you're trying to miss lines and have your cabin ready when you get on the ship if you don't have FTTF or aren't Diamond or Platinum, then after 1:30pm is good.

between 1 and 2 pm.

Its been awhile since we sailed Carnival, I just checked in and got 12:30 on......

 

 

Nice change, if they actually follow the check in times

Just follow your on-line, FTTF, or loyaly status check-in time, whichever is sooner.

You can't even get into the terminal before your check in time now

Any self-respecting Carnival cruiser would do all they can to not miss the first feeding.

Carnival gives you a "check in slot"...so arrive when they tell you. On almost all other lines, arriving around 11am is about as early as you can start boarding.

What time should be picked if you are in a Suite?

Also, is there a special time for people to board who have mobility scooters??

Pick whichever time you expect to arrive. However with a Suite, you can arrive as early as the first check in slot. People needing assistance/scooters will board normally, no special time.

About 1030.

About 1030.

 

If your check in time is 10:30 If not you are not allowed to go inside the terminal ,Must wait until your check in time

As a Diamond, I try to get to the seaport no later than 11AM in Miami or FLL.
