Cruise terminal

[sjedelen67]

We are driving down and would like to get on board early to see if we can get Palo Brunch reservations. We are platinum members and will be parking at the Cruise terminal parking. How early can we get into the terminal? What time does it start boarding? Thanks.

Unless things have changed (and I admittedly don't keep up with DCL these days) you'll be assigned or can select a port arrival time, and that's when you're supposed to show up at the port.

Port Canaveral lets people into the terminal around 10:30, I think.

Platinum don't get a PAT. They get on before the unwashed masses.

You can usually enter the port area around 10:15. And the terminal opens at 10:30. Unless there was a problem with the ship returning and things are delayed.

Boarding doesn't begin until 11:15-11:30, however.

Perk of Platinum ...you get number one boarding . Concierge and family of the day go on first . Then you would be next.

FYI: they don't start talking reservations until 1:00.
This is from the Navigator.

One thing I have learned from trying to get certain reservations, is if you can be the first or one of the first people in line, you stand a much better chance of getting what you want. A couple of times, weve been in line for Palos, were the 1 of the first 3 people in line, and got the last open spot.

I have also found that if you go directly to Palo around 12:00 you can book there. At least on the Dream and the Fantasy. I have done this a few times. Eat in Cabanas and then head up to Palo.
