Arrival Times

[vegasgal47]

Has anyone experienced issues with their scheduled arrival time on Carnival lately?  What happens if you arrive later than your scheduled time.  Will you have to wait until the very last minute to get onboard?

 

Thanks!

This past Saturday the 18th the Panorama arrived late and some passengers were still debarking after 12noon. It was a mild inconvenience for those waiting to board and a major headache for the guests who had to change their flights home after their cruise. That's always the worst part of these late returning ships, the people flying home on new flights and not the arriving guests cooling their heels in the cruise terminal waiting to board.

Are you meaning your “embarkation” Check-in time?  I was on The Breeze in July and the Carnival shuttle was about 1hr 1/2 late, we all missed our check-in times….  Walked right on board

 @vegasgal47 Sometimes guests will be guided to a Early/Late line. Sometimes it has been a free for all. But no, they will not make anyone wait until everyone else that showed up on time. Sometimes it is hard to schedule exactly when the Carnival shuttle bus, guests' flights and even driving in will arrive. The main reason for the schedule times is they don't want the terminal clogged with everyone showing up early.
