Creator's Key Takeaways

You check in online through the Carnival Hub app. Check in begins 14 days prior to sailing for most people, 16 days prior to sailing for diamond and platinum guests.

The goal is to get your boarding pass, your luggage tags, but ultimately to pick your appointment window to actually board the ship.

I do recommend printing an extra copy of the boarding pass just in case. You never know what's going to happen.

Print all your documents. Get yourself a folder, put all your documents in the folder, put that folder in your carry-on...

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in online through the Carnival Hub app as early as possible, starting 14 days prior to sailing at midnight Eastern time.
Have all documentation ready, including passport, ID, and flight information, to complete the check-in process quickly.
Print extra copies of your boarding pass and keep all travel documents in a folder in your carry-on, not in checked baggage.
Complete the muster drill as soon as you board to ensure the ship can depart on time.
