Carnival Pride - Boarding Day Question

[vivig]

Hi There,

 

Since the Pride boards so late does this mean that there is no lunch on board? Also, can we arrive earlier than the boarding time that we have been provided?

 

Thank you in advance

The Lido deck buffet, Guy's Burger joint and Blue Iguana will all be open. If you arrive earlier than the check in time that you chose you will not be able to enter the building until your time arrives.

If its like most other carnival ports, that is NOT your boarding time. Its your time to enter the terminal for check-in.

Thank you both!

If you are parking, definitely plan on arriving earlier because the traffic is horrible. We were stuck in line for parking for over an hour last year on the Pride.

They don't open the parking lot until a certain time. It was noon for us but the pride got in late that morning so I don't know what it usually is. They did allow priority boarding to park early though. We had fttf so we got in around 1130/1145 to park. There was no wait then. You could tell from on board that the cash line did move faster than the credit line.

Yes. The parking is managed by the Baltimore port authority, not Carnival.

Been on the Pride 6 times the I would get to the parking lot about noon. Pay for parking in cash very short line. I just posted info about parking and embarkation from our 4/2/17 Pride cruise. Love how easy Baltimore is.

We must have been unlucky then because parking for us was horrendous.
