Before you arrive
- Complete Carnival's online check-in and download your boarding pass to the Carnival HUB app before arrival
- Bring proof of citizenship plus a government-issued photo ID — a driver's license alone is not accepted, even a REAL ID. An Enhanced Driver's License (WA, NY, MI, MN, VT) counts as both on a round trip. A passport covers both; on a closed-loop sailing that returns to New Orleans, a state-issued birth certificate with your photo ID also works, and guests under 16 need only the birth certificate
- Arrive during your assigned boarding window.
- The terminal has limited food options, so eat before you arrive or plan to eat onboard
Last-minute supplies
There's nothing within walking distance of the terminal itself. Rouses Market on Baronne Street (5 min drive) is your best bet for snacks, water, or sunscreen. Walgreens on Canal Street has pharmacy items.
