cynt Posted November 24, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Picture of the parking lot from aboard the ship. Covered parking North parking South parking We loved parking and walking onto the ship. Once you take exit 1C off of I45 you take it down to 14th street. You will pass the old terminal. There is signage for you to follow. Easy Peasy. Edited November 24, 2022 by cynt 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwbrad Posted November 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Thanks for all the pictures. What was your arrival time? Did you have to wait for a parking spot? We have a spot in north lot reserved I am hoping it will be too backed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynt Posted November 25, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Our check in time was 11am. We arrived a little after 11. We walked straight from our car, through check in, through security, through pictures and onto ship in less than 15 minutes. Fastest check in ever. Check in was fabulous because they had multiple check in agents checking you in with a iPad. Loved it! They asked health questions, scanned passport and took picture. It took 3 or 4 minutes tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel also told me NCL would be using the new RCCI terminal. Note, NCL cruises on a Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseMomTX Posted November 25, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thanks for posting the information and pictures! We board the Allure Sunday 11/27 and since we don't have much planned for the port days and haven't cruised since March 2020 we splurged on covered parking at the port. It will be so nice parking right there and we also have 11:00 check in time and nice to know how quickly you were able to board. Enjoy your cruise!

Rare dna1990 Posted November 25, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 25, 2022 RCCL may have this info posted somewhere, but curious if anyone knows the earliest luggage dropoff time for the new Terminal 10? We are trying to work a plan to do a dropoff, then go park at a friend's place, and still get back for early check-in slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn2004 Posted November 28, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 28, 2022 So how was security so fast? I hated the one to two hour waits at the other two terminals. Carnival is going to have to dig deep into its pockets and match the Royal debarkation experience at the two other terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival is going to have to dig deep into its pockets and match the Royal debarkation experience at the two other terminals. We just got back and elected to do self assist. From leaving our cabin, catching elevator, going through last BONG!, to facial recognition, to walking to our car in the North parking lot less than 10 minutes. Our longest wait was for the elevator to get to deck 4. LOVE THIS NEW TERMINAL! Game changer. Luggage pickup area. We exited the side of the bldg, walked around the corner and the parking lots were right in front of us. PAY FOR THE NORTH lot. It's right there. CONVENIENT! No need to pay for covered parking unless you just want to. It is possible to walk to and from the South lot. It's a little further but a very easy walk on a paved sidewalk. Royal did a fabulous job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazcruiser Posted December 4, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 4, 2022 We cruised on the AOTS this passed week and the embarkation/debarkation was the best ever, in and out in less then 25 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kellie in Texas Posted December 6, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 6, 2022 @cyntso glad I found this thread. Still catching up from a few I missed a few over the TG holidays. We're on Adventure in a couple of weeks and have reserved parking in the North lot. Your descriptions and pictures are very helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn2004 Posted December 12, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 12, 2022 That terminal is AWESOME!!!! My party was on Allure in 17 minutes from the side walk to ship. Arriving I went from Gangway to sidewalk in 9 minutes, yes 9 minutes. I love that terminal! I had some novices with me who took their first cruise in 2019. Even they noticed how better the experience was in the new Terminal 10. Carnival, you might want to take note. Your pax do not want to wait outside for an hour for security (Terminal 1), or have the ambience of a Costco (Terminal 2) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
