Earliest mardi gras arrival time

[dukenmelo]

We are platinum so we are hoping to pick the earliest arrival time once we are 16 days out.  Can any recent passengers tell me what time the earliest slot would be for this ship?

TIA

Pretty sure first available slot is 10:00-10:30. On all ships.

We cruise the Mardi Gras next Saturday and the earliest time slot was at 10.  We chose 11 since we are driving across the state.

The earliest arrival appointment is usually 10am.  Boarding time will depend on the particular sailing.

I was offered 9:30am for my upcoming Sunshine cruise out of Charleston just this past Tuesday.

I know I've had 9:30 at other ports before.

I’m on MG now. I woke up at 2 minutes before  midnight and checked in at 12:01 and got the 10:00 time slot.  That’s A02.    
 

We ended up running late and got in the 11:30 line. When we walked through the door, there was a lady walking around with a card with an A on it so we followed her. That may have been the fastest time I’ve gotten on a ship.

Same here for our cruise on the MG back in July. Our check in was for 10-10:30. We got to the port at 10:30 due to an highway issue. We were on the ship by 11! Never at any port have we got on that quick! Defintaly a fabulous way to start a cruise.
