When Can You Board Carnival Legend?

Carnival gives you an Arrival Appointment, chosen during online check-in — the time everyone in your cabin should be at the terminal. You must be on board by the Final Boarding time printed on your boarding pass.

The arrival time on your own boarding pass is the one that governs your sailing.

Local Tip

Carnival Legend usually uses Terminal 25 in the downtown area. The SMP Garage at 25th and Harborside offers covered parking for a rate the port quotes by sailing length rather than publishing as a daily figure — worth it if you're leaving your car for a week in the Texas sun and humidity. For the budget option, Lots A and B on 33rd Street run a free shuttle. Tip your porters $2-3 per bag curbside and keep your carry-on. The Strand Historic District is 5 minutes away if you want to explore before your boarding window.
