We had a glitch at home that morning and didn't arrive at the port until around 11:30. It was perfect. The only time we stopped walking was at the check in table for a couple minutes. The Travel Scouts revealed, "Carnival Cruise Line has altered the embarkation date departure times for more than 400 sailings. The impacted cruise ships are the Carnival Celebration, Firenze, Horizon and Mardi Gras. With each of these, the ship's embarkation day departure time is being moved up by 30 minutes. On Mardi Gras 5/28 we had 10:30-11am check in time and Boarding group B01. We arrived at terminal at 9:50. Waited in traffic 10 minutes to pull in to garage. Dropped luggage and parked. Waited until 10:15 to walk in to terminal. We were allowed in and immediately checked-in using Verifly(which worked perfectly). We then sat in the waiting area.
