Carnival Valor Embarkation Question

Has anyone heard what time you can actually board? I know the posted time is 2:30. Does anyone know if you can drop off your checked luggage earlier? We have to check out of our hotel at noon I think and I would at least like to dump my luggage even if I can't board that early.

You should be able to drop your luggage off by around 10:30 and boarding should start by noon. You can check in, have lunch and go back out if you wish.

We just did this cruise in February. We checked out of the Hotel Miramar at 11:30, were at the Pier by Noon and we back out in the streets of OSJ at around 2:30. We were on the ship prior to 1:30.

Awesome glad to have someone confirm.

We boarded around 11:00
