When Can You Board Norwegian Joy?

Norwegian puts an embarkation time on your eDocs and asks that you arrive no earlier than one hour before it. You must be onboard no later than one hour before the departure time in the same eDocs, or you will not be permitted to sail.

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

Norwegian Joy cruise parking at Terminal C

Where you park

Park in Multi-Level Garage C at 1648 N Cruise Blvd — $10/day short-term (no overnight) or $25/day for the length of your cruise. It's directly across from the terminal.

Drop-off

Pull up to the curbside drop-off in front of the terminal on North Cruise Blvd. Porters are available curbside — tip $2-3 per bag. Terminal C hosts ships from several different lines, so watch for your ship's name on the signage rather than a cruise-line logo.
