PARKING
Please inform the parking attendant that you are attending a wedding and will not be sailing. You will be directed to the employee parking area and will not be charged a parking fee.
BOARDING PROCEDURES
All wedding guests will be granted priority boarding (once the ship is cleared by U.S. Customs. For this reason, all guests are required to be at the port by 10:00am. Check-in will commence at the designated wedding guest Check-in area located inside the cruise terminal at 10:00 am for the bride, groom, and all guests. Once U.S. Customs grants the ship clearance all guests will be granted priority boarding.
• We cannot stress enough how important it is that all guests arrive on time to insure Priority Boarding. All guests should proceed to the wedding guest check in area for assistance. Carnival provides special check-in assistance for wedding guests provided they arrive at the pier on time. The Wedding Guest Check-In Staff may not be available for those who arrive once general boarding has begun. You must be prompt!
Please keep in mind there are over 3000 people boarding the ship the same day as our wedding and the check-in process can take up to 30 minutes.
All non-sailing guests will need to provide photo identification such as a driver's license or passport, children under the age of 16 must bring a birth certificate, in order to obtain a visitor's pass. Any wedding guest who fails to provide proper photo identification will be denied boarding. Non-sailing guests will need to disembark the ship immediately after the wedding reception.
• Wedding gifts will not be allowed on board. Please make alternate arrangements to deliver gifts to the wedding couple or feel free to shop at the couples Carnival Gift Registry at www.carnival.honeymoonwishes.com/josieandjose.
MORE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES
Dear Wedding Party:
We are celebrating a very special day that our bridal couple has chosen to share with you, their family and friends. It is very important that we all do everything in our power to make the day special and memorable for them. A shipboard wedding may be a new experience for you, so we ask that you review the information below to ensure a stress free and safe day for everyone.
Boarding: Priority boarding is provided for bridal couples, as well as their guests, being married on the day of sailing. The time to board the ships is controlled by US Customs and Immigration. No one is allowed to board the ship until US Customs and Immigration clear the ship. Due to the terrorist attacks on our country, US Customs and Immigration have increased security measures. In the event the delay in boarding affects the time of the wedding, the wedding will be delayed accordingly.
Non-Sailing Guests: All non-sailing guests are to be completely dressed and ready for the wedding when arriving at the cruise terminal. We ask for all guests to be at the Pier at 10:00 a.m. to begin the check-in process so once the ship has cleared, we will be able to priority board before all other cruising passengers. The bride and groom submitted a guest list for all non-sailing guests including your names and date of birth. You will need to provide your state issued photo ID at the time of check in, please have it available. You will leave your ID with Security in the terminal and be given a guest pass to board the ship. Non-sailing guests are welcome to tour the ship until the ceremony time. All non-sailing guests must disembark the ship immediately after the reception. When leaving the ship, you will need to redeem your ID in the ship’s terminal.
All non-sailing guests attending an onboard wedding must bring a photo Id, such as a driver’s license, passport, government or state Id. Children under the age of 16 a must bring a birth certificate or valid passport.
Required documents for boarding the vessel:
- Valid U.S. Passport
- Passport Card
- Original or legible copy of a Birth Certificate
- Certificate of Naturalization

The Ceremony and Reception: Please ensure that you are aware of the time that you need to be at the ceremony and that you know the location. Maps of the ship are available at the Information Desk. Please be on time. Delays on the part of the wedding couple and/or the wedding guests may result in limited ceremony or reception time. All ceremonies are performed before the ship sails and all ceremony times are approximate and can be delayed due to unforeseen events.
