Also interested. We will be in GC may 1st from a cruise. Looking for a driver or possibly renting our own car.

UPDATE......When I got on the ship I went to guest services and inquired about notes in my reservation...there were none. Then I explained the reason I was asking, I told her the whole story...how I wanted to disembark in Naples...yada yada yada. She says sure we can set that up for you.

Are you kidding me??? I don't even know what to say.....

We will be disembarking from Naples in a few weeks so please let me know how long the process takes. :)

I have disembarked a RCCL ship early. You can get off the ship as soon as it has arrived in port and has been cleared. You have to take your own suitcases. Early disembarkation has to be arranged with RCCL in advance.

We have already received the approval from RCCL to disembark early in Naples. We port at 7am and we have a tour starting at 8 am, our tour operator is concerned we will not get through customs in enough time to meet them. Do you think we will have enough time? I don't see why we wouldn't. We meet the tour at the end of the dock.

I know you were asking someone else, but I've done this as well. We were on a different cruise line on a Baltic cruise. The day before returning to South Hampton, Brussels was the port of call and I had arranged before the cruise to debark there. The cruise line had taken our passports so we had to get them back and there were about 50 other guests doing the same thing. It took a little bit of time for them to sort out all the passports, but we got off the ship with others who were staying for the end of the cruise. It probably took about 30 or 45 minutes to get everything settled. With different cruise lines things may be different. If I were you, I'd be sure to let your tour vendor know the situation and that you may run a bit late. Since you're on RCCL, you might want to post your question on the RCCL board since their process may be different from NCL's.

Thank You! Our tour operator is aware, but we are on the tour with other passengers returning to the ship, but the tour is leaving us in Sorrento. Hopefully RCCL will help us expedite the process. Will they keep our passports? I like getting them stamped at each port. :(

I had to get off two days early on a med cruise. I was told that they had to get an approval from the port where I would be getting off. I was lucky enough to get a yes. FYI, guest services took our passports for the whole cruise so we couldn't just get off without permission. So, maybe the port where you wanted to disembark would t allow it. It may not have been NCL that said no.

We are getting off a day early and received approval from RCCL. Did it take you longer to get off the ship that day? We port at 7am and are meeting a tour at 8am, I am hoping that time frame is feasible.

Thanks for that info

fragilek - This may seem odd, but I saw on another old thread you have disembarked a ship early and I had some questions about that but had no way to contact you to ask. We are disembarking a day early from RCCL in Italy and I am just wondering how long it takes as we have a tour booked to make.

Thanks! Sorry to highjack this thread.

They are already sold out. Bummer!!!

I just missed them :(

We are on Valor in January. Thanks for the info I look forward to additional info and reviews.

We are going in Jan 2016 and my daughter is 3 and my son will have just turned 6. Interested to hear what others say. ;)

On my online docs I can see the price and I booked through a TA and I can also submit my own price protection form or the TA can. I had her do it once and I did my own the next time.

We are doing Western in October. sure would love to see them as well.

If you look a few comments above I posted a link to another board that has the Valor Western FunTimes from June.

This link goes to a thread that has the Valor Western carribean Fun Times from June 2015 in pdf format posted in it. . .

Yes I'm sure the ones you have are too large but I can convert those PDFs into a smaller file size.

If you email me the files I can break them down into a PDF that can be posted here. Kellijo2121@gmail.com

Guxa. Do you have the camp carnival schedulr by any chance.

We are also booked on the spa deck in January. I would also love additional information about these rooms and the location. Thank You!

Domergirl, I would be interested in the tour you take in Roetan. My kids will be 3 & 6 at the time we go, do you think it would be good for them?

When will you return with more?!?! I'm so excited to read about the rest of your vacation. I check back daily :)

I would also love a copy of the Valor Western Fun Times! Thank you!

Thanks for the review, we are going on the same itinerary with two small children in January, loving the details. :)
