Those couples getting married the day of embarkation will be granted priority boarding (once the ship is cleared by U.S. Customs).  For this reason, you and your guests are required to be at the port by 10:30am. Check-in will commence at the designated Check-in area located inside the cruise terminal at 10:30 am for the bride and groom and all guests. Once U.S. Customs grants the ship clearance, our day's wedding couples and guests will be granted priority boarding. This is normally at approximately 11:30am -12:30pm.  

• We can not stress enough how important it is that all guests arrive on time to insure Priority Boarding and allow ample time to prepare for the ceremony. Please keep in mind there are over 2000 people boarding the ship the same day as your wedding and the check-in process can take up to 30 minutes. Carnival provides special check-in assistance for wedding guests provided they arrive to the pier on time.  Our Wedding Guest Check-In Staff may not be available for those who arrive once general boarding has begun.  Therefore all wedding couples and their guests must arrive on time to insure Priority Boarding and allow ample time for the Bride & Groom to prepare for the ceremony. You must be prompt!

• We highly recommend you & your wedding guests make arrangements to come in the day prior to sailing.  We are not responsible for any delay on the part of the wedding couple, flights, or ground transportation.  If you do not arrive on time your wedding may be cut short or even cancelled.

• Wedding couples are responsible for informing guests of the boarding time, and the time & location of their ceremony which is given 2 weeks prior to your cruise date.

• All non-sailing guests will need to provide photo identification such as a driver's license or pass port 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.  All wedding couples and their guests are responsible for their own transportation to the pier and making sure they arrive on time. 

• The final guest list is due 8 weeks prior to boarding.  Anyone not on the guest list will not be able to attend.  

• Due to U.S. Customs regulations all wedding gifts are subject to duty fees.  We ask that you inform your guests of these restrictions and that you make alternate arrangements to have gifts delivered to your home.
