Making cruise check-in easier when sailing from Miami, Carnival Cruise Lines will have check-in counters at Miami International Airport (MIA) so passengers can get their boarding cards before arriving at the cruise port. Open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Concourses D and H on the day of sailing, cruise passengers retrieve their luggage at baggage claim and are directed to their check-in counter, based on flight arrivals.
At Miami International, airport check-in passengers get a boarding card that reads “Airport Express” to identify them when they arrive at the Port of Miami‘s Carnival Cruise Lines cruise terminal.
Carnival Cruise Lines guests also will receive their Sail & Sign onboard charge card at the airport if guaranteeing purchases on their ship with a debit or credit card. Using cash, they must stop by a cruise terminal check-in counters or use an onboard Sail & Sign kiosk.
Also new, if Carnival Cruise Lines passengers did not pre-purchase Carnival’s transfers to the port, they buy them during the check-in process. Your clients must take their luggage with them whether using Carnival’s transportation service or other means.
When arriving at the pier, pre-checked passengers will present boarding cards and a photo ID to verify their identity and pass through a security check. Basically, they skip the check-in deck at the pier because they did it at the airport.
