9:30 am, Priority boarding is provided for couples being married the day of embarkation, once the ship is cleared by U.S. Customs. Arrival time for wedding guests is usually 10:00 am for most ports. You must be at the pier at the time indicated by your Wedding Planner for priority boarding. Please be prompt.

We strongly recommend couples and their guests to arrive in New Orleans at least one day prior to sailing, in order to avoid late flights, traffic, etc. on their wedding day. This is not a requirement — only a suggestion. Since we want this day to be as stress-free as possible, we will work diligently to provide early boarding to our wedding couples and their guests. Please note that Carnival’s transfer service will NOT get you there early enough for your wedding. These transfers are for regular boarding. Please make alternate arrangements for prompt transportation to the pier.
