FAQs: Before You Board

All flights should arrive and depart from the airport nearest the cruise terminal port. We recommend MCO (Orlando International Airport). If you arrive on the day of the cruise, ensure your flight is on the ground by 11:00 am.
We recommend that all passengers arrive the day before the cruise leaves to guard against flight cancellations and delays.
When we arrive back in Port Canaveral (June 26th), please ensure your flight does not leave until 1:00 pm or later to avoid debarkation and customs delays.
PREMIER does not provide hotels for this cruise, but many are at Port Canaveral.

Service Dogs – Carnival permits aboard our ships working service dogs, which are legally defined and individually trained to meet disability-related needs by performing tasks like guiding a blind person, alerting a deaf person, pulling wheelchairs, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, or performing other special tasks. Working service dogs are not pets.

Travel Documents – proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise and is the guest’s responsibility. Any guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board the vessel, and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. U.S. citizens are encouraged to show a U.S. passport. If they do not have a passport, they should be prepared to provide a valid government-issued photo ID (i.e., Driver’s License) and proof of U.S. citizenship in the form of a government-issued (not hospital-issued) U.S. birth certificate. It is important that guest names on travel documents be identical to those on the cruise booking. Otherwise, proof of name change (i.e., a marriage license) OR a valid driver’s license or government-issued photo ID must be presented. For further information on documentation for U.S. citizens, see U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
