A couple more questions

[tallygirl]

Thank you to everyone for the answers to my previous questions. I have a couple more.

What time does Cabanas close on embarkation day?

If I remember correctly open boarding starts around 12:30. Our PAT is 1:15. If everyone is boarding already, do we have to wait to arrive at 1:15? Will they turn us away if we arrive earlier?

How much is it to park at the port?

Thank you

Unless it has recently changed, PATs are enforced. Boarding is a whole process involving several checkpoints and information. They don't want crowds.

Not sure about Cabanas closing time but they won't close before everyone has boarded and had time to eat.

We haven't parked at port in years but I think I read on this site that parking is $40/day.

They are still enforcing PATs as of a couple weeks ago. I do not know what the per day price was to park, but we paid $90 for our 4 night cruise. It's not cheap!

Yes, they do turn you away if you arrive before PAT and tell you to come back at your assigned time.

I believe Cabana's closes around 3:00 PM or so on Embarkation Day. The quick serve on deck will be open, however, if you don't make it in there on time.

You didn't specify which port you're headed to for parking but I googled "Port Canaveral parking fees" and found this page that will help you if it is indeed PC you're embarking from: https://www.portcanaveral.com/Cruise/Directions-Parking

I hope you don't mind but I have a sort-of related question that I thought of while reading this thread:

Can you arrive AFTER your PAT and just join the boarding queue? I was sort of assuming so, but the emphasis on DCL's enforcement of PATimes has me wondering if we would have to do anything differently if we are late (some special line for late arrivals or anything?). Thanks!

you can arrive anytime after your PAT

You can arrive after your PAT. Be aware, however, the info on the DCL website says:

Guests arriving after their scheduled time may be delayed and asked to wait behind those arriving at their scheduled time.

At least that's what our reservation says on it.
