Rare shof515 Posted July 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2022 most likely the boarding zone number that i noticed is never used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted July 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I believe that you will be in (ship) boarding group F, and 01 means that your subgroup will be in the first group within the F boarding group. Carnival uses letters and numbers to designate boarding groups. It starts at A01 to say A08, then B01 -B08, next C01, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a late check-in time at the terminal? The boarding groups do move along after they get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGB Posted July 20, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted July 20, 2022 right...will not make it to the terminal till 1:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted July 20, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2022 More than likely you will be able to board as soon as you get through security and the check-in process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely is used. There is zero chance (absent a mistake) that someone assigned an F01 is boarding out of order with the A01....5 group.

Many here recommend those later arrival and boarding slots. You'll breeze through in all likelihood. The other good news is that your cabin will be immediately available. Enjoy.

Depending on the port, you will probably have to carry on your luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i noticed it seems to be port specific as the port sometimes still hand out the boarding zone cards which is different then what is on the boarding pass. On my previous cruise on the Magic last month, it was opening boarding with getting on the ship after checking in. this was around 12pm Edited July 20, 2022 by shof515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my previous cruise on the Magic last month, it was opening boarding with getting on the ship after checking in. this was around 12pm They do call boarding zones when they are first starting the boarding process. But typically after 30 minutes or so, they'll call all zones and anybody that arrives after that point can board as soon as they are cleared.

We've not cruised since Covid and when we last cruised we were given our boarding group when we got to the dock not during the early check in like now.

The two cruises taken from Port Canaveral since the restart have utilized and enforced the boarding zones. Admittedly the boarding for Mardi Gras in Dec was very messed up (crowded with everyone showing up early) compared to normal, but that was driven by all the Horizon guests who transferred their cruise to MG when the Horizon got cancelled from that propulsion issue, and there was later-than-normal boarding that day due to some other issue or something.

They will start with A01, then call A01 and A02, and so on. Eventually the lines will clear out and they'll just allow everyone to board as soon as they are cleared regardless of their boarding zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to precovid except now we get our boarding group number at check in- thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
