Earliest To Get Onboard

Shaunna · June 2, 2009

Hey... as eager as I am to get my vacation started and EAT, how soon does carnival let you get on board? I know my "thingy" says 12:30 but I swore I got on earlier before with RC.

Thanks!

We have been able to board on Carnival as early as 11:30

Thanks! I figure we will plan to maybe get there around 11:00 so maybe after shuttle to the port and luggage stuff it should be around 11:30. We shall see what happens. I appreciate the feedback.

My bet would be 11:30ish

We've been there early early and found the lines to be extremely long. Once through "the process", everything sailed by. And, we've been there later in the day and found that we were able to get right on the ship, no waiting, no lines. Guess it depends on how long you want to stand in line.

My feeling is that the cruise starts once I'm on the ship, so the earlier, the better. You also have to love the loyalty perks that let you get in a short line no matter how long the other line is.
