01 · TERMINAL
Terminal 3 (Carnival)
815 Channelside Drive, Tampa, FL 33602
Drop-off: Continue down Channelside Drive past Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 at 815 Channelside Dr. The drop-off lane is directly in front. Porters will tag and take your luggage curbside — tip $2-3 per bag. Then follow signs to the parking garage.
PARKING
Same covered parking garage as Terminal 2, running a rate the port quotes at booking rather than publishing. Pre-booking online is recommended on busy weekends. The garage is a short walk from the terminal entrance. Credit cards and cash accepted — no debit cards at the gates.
02 · BOARD
Boarding: Carnival's online check-in typically opens about 14 days before sailing, and that is where you choose an Arrival Appointment — a specific window for arriving at the terminal. The earliest appointments typically go first, so check in as soon as your window opens if boarding early matters to you.
- □ Keep your ID, boarding documents, and medication in your carry-on Checked bags may not reach your cabin until later in the day.
- □ Use the arrival time printed in your boarding documents Your cruise line's current documents are the source of truth for check-in.
- □ Keep one small day bag with anything you need before your cabin is ready You may board before cabins and checked luggage are available.
