PAT arrival question in large van with multiple PATs

[CanuckEars]

We have a 12 passenger van rental we are driving to the cruise. Idea is to drop everyone off then take the van over to Avis to return it and I’ll catch the shuttle back over.

We have 3 parties in the van, with different PATs of 1130, 1200 and 1215.

When we arrive at the terminal to drop everyone off can I just show my QR code with the 1130 PAT? Or will they want to scan everybody’s in the van to allow to enter? I don’t care so much about entering the terminal building as I do dropping everybody and luggage off so I can be returning the van by the time I make it back I’m sure we will be ready to enter based on the 1215 PAT.

I don't think you need to show PAT to drive in for drop-off anymore. It will be checked before guests can enter the terminal for check-in, and if too early they'll be held outside.

Correct.

No one checks your PAT to drop off passengers and luggage or to park in the deck. Your PAT is now checked to enter the terminal.

We had different PATs than our friends who we drove with to the port. No checking of PATs when you drop off luggage. When we got to the terminal, we asked about merging our boarding time/PAT. Everyone was allowed into the terminal at the same time - no checking of PATs. When we got to check-in, they allowed us to board at the same time with the earliest boarding number. It may depend on how busy things are so there are no guarantees, but you can definitely check.

This was basically our experience in Miami last month.

In Port Canaveral, are PATs checked for the terminal parking? It makes me nervous to not have a parking reservation.

Not at the end of January they weren't.

There is plenty of parking no need to be nervous
