Recommended Pickup Times for Cruise Day
Pickup time depends on your cruise line, ship, assigned boarding window, resort location, luggage needs, and traffic conditions.

For Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, and other Port Canaveral cruise lines, many guests prefer late-morning pickup, depending on their check-in window.
