When Can You Board Carnival Venezia?
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 Venezia cruise parking at Cruise Terminal 3
- Where you park
Park in the multi-level garage adjacent to CT-3 ($20/day plus tax, covering the day of arrival and the day of departure). Parking is cashless — major credit cards only — and paid on arrival; no reservations are accepted. The garage is connected to the terminal by a covered walkway on the second level.
- Drop-off
Cruise Terminal 3 is on Christopher Columbus Dr on the south side of the port, past Terminal 2 — the group Port Canaveral signs as the B Terminals. From SR-528 take Exit 54B, not 54A, and follow the signs for Terminal 3. Drop-off is in front of the terminal or in the parking facility, and porters will grab your bags curbside. Tip $2-3 per bag and keep your carry-on with you.

Local Tip
Carnival Venezia usually sails from CT-3 on Christopher Columbus Dr, on the south side of the port — leave SR-528 at Exit 54B. Its dedicated Carnival parking garage is $20/day plus tax. The garage connects to the terminal via a covered walkway on the second level, so upper floors are actually more convenient. There's a Publix about 7 minutes away on Astronaut Blvd in Cape Canaveral that's infinitely better than the overpriced convenience area inside the check-in hall for last-minute snacks or sunscreen.
