I have a group of people going on this cruise in a couple of months and was wondering what would be the best time to get to Tampa to avoid any long lines. Ive been told that Carnival has the boarding process down to a science, but have also heard otherwise.
We all want to get on board asap so we can start enjoying our cocktails and dreams!!!!
Have any of your sailed this ship for we are ALL (11 people) are first time cruisers on a bachleor party!? any advice would be great!

We also cruised the Sensation in March.

We arrived at the port at 10:45 AM and there was a line of about 60-80 people already!
Our boarding group number was 2 and we were on the ship at 12.46 PM.
First group boarded at 12:30.
Carnival does have boarding down pretty well, we zipped right through in about 10-15 minutes, start to finish. Then you sit and wait.

My advice, get there ASAP, maybe 10 AM. As boarding is assigned in groups as you arrive, your best bet is to make it onboard in the first few groups. It goes fairly quickly, but it can bog down as more people get backed up at the first photo op and getting photos taken for the S&S cards.

You cannot be too early, only too late!
