GOOD NEWS FOR DEC 13 RIVERIA MIA CRUISE

[zteamtwo]

On board Riveria right now.  Just talked to our concierge.  He said cruise departing Dec 13 will not use terminal J, but, will use a terminal with 2 floors and should make Covid check in much easier.  He said to try and stick to assigned arrival time.  Keep this thread updated (by early arrival people) for people arriving in early afternoon.  Everyone keep checking cruise critic for updates.  Hope you have a great check in and cruise.

Had an email from Oceania on Wed. - the 12/23 Riviera cruise was moved from terminal E *to* terminal J.

I am not sure who told you what but looking at the PortMiami webcam Riviera is sitting at Terminal J.  I doubt she moves between disembarkation and boarding.

You are correct. We are parked at J.  I was given bad info from concierge.  Good luck with check in.  Keep updating this thread as to how it is going.

There is a Regent ship (Seven Seas Mariner) docked at the new NCL terminal (Terminal B).  Much higher fares equals priority at the nice new terminal.

Ok. Still on ship at 8:20. No one allowed off until all bags are off. Is that normal?

I’ve heard that, but swear that I’ve seen bags still being unloaded as we walked off.

usually they off load by the tag colour groups  but then again  things may have changed post covid

Can’t be the case! 🙄. We have another thread advocating people take early flights out of SEATAC because the ships always disembark precisely on time! 😂😂

I can tell you as a fact—ships don’t leave on time,  We’ve been 6 hours late waiting for in coming flights.

that's not entirely accurate. Mariner was just shifted to terminal B to make way for Riviera - I watched them from my living room. She then shifted back to terminal J yesterday morning to embark her guests.

Interesting that they are playing musical terminals.  It looks as if Mariner is not sailing with passengers until 18 December when she leaves for Frisco.  She left at midnight Tuesday and is just traveling round and round offshore.
