my MIL would like to be at port As Early As Possible...what time can we drive up to port and park our car? Also...what is the best method to handle our luggage and kids once we arrive?
 
About 10:30. That is when they will let you up to the terminal to offload bags and your party. We tried 9:30 on the cruise before last, and had to wait til 10:30. Got there at about 10:20 on the last one and had about 6 cars in front of us. Make sure you stay in the left lane to the terminal. Procedure was to check tickets/ID's at the gate to the terminal, let you drive up to the terminal to offload bags, and then have one person take the vehicle to parking. Regular sedans were able to use the lot directly north of the terminal. Vans/SUV's/Trucks had to go to the lot on the west side of the entrance road. Both are any easy walk to the terminal for whoever drives the car to park it.
 
You can park in the parking lot before 10:30 but you can't drive up to the port to unload your bags until 10:30.
 
we got there at 10:25 and they were just letting cars through the gate (checking IDs and tickets).....
it's the perfect time to arrive...
no wait for anything...you drive up and they take your luggage....
then you park and go into the terminal and there's no wait in line...and there are still seats to sit on inside...(though i guess one person has to stand in the boarding line, if you're not in concierge)....
 
when we called they said boarding would be at 12:30....
but i think we actually began boarding at about noon....
i didn't reallly notice what time it was as we were having a lovely time chitchatting with other passengers waiting with us....
