Be careful about where you park. When we embarked in Galveston last September there were officers directing traffic to the correct parking lot, so no problems at all. However, a friend was there in December, there was no one directing traffic, & she parked in a covered garage near the pier. When she returned from her cruise her car had been towed. The authorized parking is about 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the pier, is an open area with a chain link fence & a shuttle bus brings you back. You can drop off your other passengers & baggage & then go park. Boarding the ship was no problem. I think we arrived about 11 am. I don't know of any advanced boarding offered by Carnival other than for those holding VIP boarding passes, but perhaps someone else here does. Have fun on your cruises!!
