When Should You Leave for the Cruise Terminal?
Your cruise line assigns a boarding window, and arriving too early or too late can cause problems. Use your cruise documents as the starting point and plan backward.
- Check your boarding window in your cruise documents.
- Add buffer time for traffic, especially on weekends and holidays.
- Allow extra time if you are coming from the airport or the city.
- Tell your car service your ship name and boarding window when you book.
Planning for Cruise Luggage
Cruise travelers usually pack more than they would for a standard flight. Count everything before you book so dispatch can assign the right vehicle.

| Strollers or mobility equipment | Need extra room and planning |
| Special items | Golf bags, garment bags or oversized items may need a larger vehicle |
| Car seats | Tell us in advance if children are traveling |
Which Vehicle Is Right for Your Cruise Group?
