Platinum Debarkaton

[FloatingSunGoddess]

Is there a area for Platinum quests to wait for debarkation? I heard there may be a lounge with a continental breakfast provided? Can you take your luggage down early and leave it there?  We seem to get stuck and can't get down to the gangway due to the crowds.  The elevators are packed. Thanks for any help!

There wasnt a area for platinum and diamond to board, only for suites I read. 

 

There are only 2 ships that so far set sail, and vista got in very late, 930 ish. They called areas, but not sure exactly how it was done with such late arrival back in Galveston. 

 

Only been 2 times they have done debarkation. They need some time to get a system sounds like.

Usually one of the dining rooms is designated for platinum and guests with early flight times.  Diamond sometimes assemble in a private dining room or a roped off area in the atrium.  There is usually a letter detailing the procedure sent to the cabin the night before.  In many cases there are morning beverages and rolls, buns, croissants, etc. available.  

 

This was my experience pre COVID, may have changed since the resumption has started.

What about embarkation? Did Plat and Dia get called first, or was it all done by boarding time?

Plat. and Diam. were permitted to check in to get boarding times a day before the masses. They should have been given earlier check in times.

That's an amazing accomplishment. I hope that, when/if Carnival gets around to updating their loyalty program that they don't use that (5X level) as the next rung in the ladder -- LOL !!!

We never waited anywhere.  Right on the ship.  No need to wait for the turn around from the previous cruise.
