Early disembarkation

[dabearsfan]

Am considering Carnival for the first time in May. Do they have an early disembarkation for people who can carry their luggage off by themselves? Have done this before on HAL and Princess and it really makes it a lot easier to get an earlier flight home.

Yes you can carry it you can get off earlier than waiting for your tag number to be called.

We do this all the time as we have a long drive home.

We have done this on a couple of cruises with mixed results, on one ship there was a delay involving customs being cleared, as we timed it with the periodic crew customs / immigration check, on the other the main boarding ramp was down for maintenance, so we had to leave the ship by the small gang plank on deck 1, then make a walk along the dock through the industrial part of the terminal building to the customs area.

On the Dec 3rd Paradise sailing we were off the ship by 7:35am. You can get off pretty early.

We do self disembarkation on our 3-5 day cruises all the time.. One time we were off by 8am, plus we where in a cabin by the lobby on Empress deck.. Worked out real well for us.

 

But on our 7 day cruises, we don't do that. Being we have "much" more luggage. We still get off pretty early. Depending on what port we are at we normally are at home by 11am-2pm.
