When Can You Board Carnival Radiance?

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.

Carnival Radiance cruise parking at Long Beach Cruise Terminal

Where you park

The terminal parking garage is $23/day with a 7-foot clearance limit — no oversized vehicles. You'll need to make alternate arrangements for anything taller. Short-term rates start at $4 for 31-59 minutes if you're dropping off. Carnival Corporation, which owns and operates the terminal, warns that terminal parking is limited and that off-site parking has been arranged for certain sailings — review your booking emails to find out whether yours makes it mandatory (carnival.com, checked 2026-08-27).

Drop-off

Take I-710 South to Exit 1A onto Harbor Scenic Drive and follow it to the very end. At the Queen Mary entrance, stay to the far right lane — that's the cruise terminal entrance, not the Queen Mary parking. Drop luggage curbside with porters (tip $2-3 per bag), then loop around to the parking garage.

Driving & Port Parking

$23/day in the terminal garage — a flat posted rate rather than a price quoted inside a reservation system. Short stays: free to 30 minutes, $4 to 59 minutes, $8 for one to two hours.

Upcoming Sail Dates

Sailing dates published by Carnival Cruise Line — the line's own schedule, not a port authority's. A sailing that is sold out or closed to online booking can be missing, most often within about two months of departure, so confirm yours with the line. Checked Sep 23, 2026.

Local Tip

Carnival Radiance sails from the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, which is housed inside the former Spruce Goose dome — a massive aluminum geodesic structure you can't miss from the road. Follow Harbor Scenic Drive to the end and stay in the far right lane past the Queen Mary entrance to reach the cruise terminal drop-off. Parking in the terminal garage is $23/day if your sailing allows it, and there's a strict 7-foot clearance limit so leave the roof rack at home. If you have time before boarding, Fuego at The Maya is 3 minutes away with excellent fish tacos and harbor views.
