When to embark

[seattlejoe]

Anyone that has cruised on the Carnival Magic, what time does boarding begin? John H. had stated on his facebook while answering a question that it begins at 10:30. And I was wondering if this was just for some sort of VIP group, as it seems a bit earlier than usual. Thank you very much!

all depends how quickly they clear customs and all the past guests from the ship. they always board VIP and Platinum guests first followed by the zone #'s. I think 1130 or so sounds more accurate unless your in the VIP group.
