Glory- What's the earliest time to embark?

[bb2]

Hello,

 

We will be sailing on on the Glory January 2 out of Miami. Although the Carnival web site claims that the boarding time begins at 1:00, I'm wondering if that truly reflects the time that we can arrive at the port to start the embarkation process. I know in the past we have arrived by about 11 am and were able to come on board.

 

Anyone have any recent experience with boarding?

 

Thanks so much.

they recently began a new policy, I got an email to set up what time I will board, apparently, come too early, and they turn you away. I signed up the same place I set up all of my cruise information, IE flights, hotels, and passport/ID info.

The only port that uses the new system is Galvaston, New Orleans is supposed to begin soon. You can arrive at POM at the time you wish for now. Boarding usually begins around 1100am.

Last June we boarded around 11:00 but we had FTTF.
