hard_eight Posted November 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Just checked into the hotel in Miami, and both my wife's and my phone rang... Medical emergency will cause late arrival to Miami. Posting from my phone...hope this works. GUEST ADVISORY REVISED EMBARKATION PLANS CARNIVAL CONQUEST – NOVEMBER 19, 2023 November 18, 2023 Dear Carnival Conquest Guests, On the return to Miami, Carnival Conquest deviated its course to disembark a guest who needed urgent medical attention ashore. As a result, the ship will be docking late tomorrow morning and embarkation for your cruise has been revised. We must allow debarking guests to leave the terminal before we can accommodate your arrival. Please delay your terminal arrival appointment by three hours. Kindly refer to adjusted terminal arrival appointments below: Guests who arrive earlier will be asked to return at their newly assigned time. In preparation for departure, all guests must be on board the ship no later than 5:30 PM. Thanks for your cooperation. We look forward to welcoming you aboard soon. Sincerely, Colleen Oliverio VP, Guest Services - Contact Centers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof3cruisers Posted November 20, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2023 @hard_eight was 11:30 the earliest time for check in originally? We are sailing on this ship on Dec 4th and the earliest check in was 11 which seemed odd but it looks like yours was even later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hard_eight Posted November 28, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Have to give it up to the passengers from this cruise. When we showed up to the port, it was a MESS. It's likely the last sailing for us out of Port Miami for a while. Everyone it seemed showed up at the same time, along with 5 other boats in port. The passengers from the previous cruise were still debarking until almost 4pm. They didn't start to allow people in the terminal until then. There was no priority, it was just a free for all. There were people falling out due to the heat, considering we were in the Miami sun for a few hours, though it was only 81 degrees and breezy. Carnival started handing out waters as we began to walk inside... There was no fighting, bickering, etc from the couple different crowds of folks we were in during embarkation I was really surprised by humanity for once. Sunset pic from the balcony as soon as we got to the room for or "2:30" boarding time and some of the crowds. No lines, no direction, sent off to the cargo area to turn around and fight back to the terminals as the port was overwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted November 28, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I would never expect Carnival's Miami facilities to be at their knees because a Conquest class ship was late. Celebration sure. Shocking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebration sure. Shocking... The traffic wasn't Carnival's fault. There were just too many ships coming in and out for me that day. Won't do that again. The issues at the terminal...those are squarely on CCL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
