Passengers should feel free to arrive at the port earlier than that, however, especially when sailing on larger ships that accommodate thousands of passengers.

As cruise vacations become ever more popular, the cruising industry competes to build the largest cruise ship in the world to attract greater numbers of passengers.

Smaller, more exotic ports of call may be inaccessible to large ships because they do not have the facilities to accommodate either the vessel or the massive numbers of passengers.
When choosing to sail on one of the largest cruise ships in the world, passengers need to consider both the pros and cons of the vessel as well as their personal preference.

Cruisers must remember, however, that on a ship that hosts 800-3,000 passengers per sailing, everyone on board will not be a member of the group, nor will they be open to advances from single travelers looking to meet that someone special.
Group cruises must usually have a minimum number of booked passengers to qualify for discounts, and reservations must be made well in advance to guarantee the best rates.
Carnival singles cruises can be a fun getaway for both newbie and experienced passengers.
