Mardi Gras Cruise terminal

[ChattTenn]

Just got off on 5/7 (MG).  We got to the pier before 11 for 11-11:30 check in but they already let everyone go through at the check in (did not enforce the check in time) then into a waiting area it was so full with people and after a while then they started to let people on board by the MUSTER STATION.  It was a big mess people everywhere (believe it was a full or nearly full).

Only if the booking has one platinum and one gold officially in a cabin together.  If the kids are together, a sympathetic employee may let it slip.

While we are talking about the Mardi Gras does anyone have suggestions for a good Park, Stay, Cruise  option Hotel close to the Terminal? I know it's probably in a forum but I wanted very recent and possibly first hand knowledge/recommendations.

Then you're good to go.  With you and your DH having the priority, that makes each cabin having priority, so you're kids are OK.

If even one platinum person is in a cabin, all passengers can join them in the Platinum check-in line. We've done this multiple times, booked DH and myself in separate cabins so the other couple can board at the same time as us, since we are driving up together. Then we just get extra keys to our cabins, and sleep where we want.

Did any of you see the testing area for unvaccinated cruisers? Or has anyone had to use it? I'm just trying to prepare for our upcoming cruise in a week.
