We always self - disembark. On our October cruise, we should have been off by 0745. We actually started to move off at 0800. There were no other people around, nobody in the baggage hall. It was absolutely fine. In fact, one of the reasons we like to get off early is coming down from breakfast, seeing everybody packed into places all waiting for their disembark time. We have one case, and one carry bag each. Simple. These days with wheeled cases, makes life very easy.
