Embarkation Time Window

Hi all!

We are leaving out of Cape Canaveral this Saturday on the Magic. I haven't cruised in awhile. How strict is Carnival with their time frame fro embarkation time? Is there any point in getting there early despite my 1:00 arrival time that I was given?

Thanks!

yes, you will not be let in, don't waste your time, new boarding seems to be working very well

I recently had a 1:00 PM arrival and was able to walk in at 12:00. I think how strict they are really depends upon how quickly they clear customs from the previous voyage.

The time is a check in time, not embarkation time. In most cases you will not be allowed in the terminal until your timeframe, however, this does not mean you go directly on the ship. It is a check in time, boarding starts when they clear the ship, so it could be early or later then your time

Ok can someone explain to me the changes on embarkment? In my check in I chose 11:30-12:00pm. I'm pretty prompt on getting there on the time I chose... what time should I get to the port? I was going to leave MCO airport at 10:30 am.

you cant get into the terminal building to check in until your time, which is 11:30... you can check in any time after that timeframe, but not before
