Thank you to everyone for the responses! Your help has been greatly appreciated!

how did you find out which terminal the ship was leaving from?

Typically, when the Carnival Valor and Carnival Freedom are docked in Galveston on the same day (usually every other Saturday this happens) the Carnival Freedom gets Terminal #1 and the Carnival Valor gets Terminal #2. The Port of Galveston has a scheduled posted on their website that confirms this.

Thank you to both of you for the responses! I appreciate the info!

Hello Everyone!

I will be doing a 5 night cruise from Galveston in a few weeks. I cruised the Carnival Valor last year, but our boarding experience & first day was a little different due to getting on the day Tropical Storm Cyndi made landfall (boarding was delayed).

1. Someone in my family (not me) is a Platinum VIFP member. Will she be able to enter the terminal right away? Our cruise is out of Terminal #2 in Galveston. I know at Galveston's Terminal #1 Platinum/Diamond cruisers get to enter the building a little before the staggered check-in process begins for everyone else, but was wondering if this is the case for terminal #2.

2. On the Carnival Valor the muster stations are outside on Deck 4 (unfortunately). Someone in my family, due a series of medical issues that occurred last year, cannot stand outside in the heat for the entire length of the drill. She already contacted Carnival to ask about the alternative special needs/assistance muster station and they told her to inquire at Guest Services the day of embarkation. Does anyone know where this special muster station meets? Any information on this would be appreciated!

Thank you!
