Disembarkment Zones

[VAMommy]

I'm reading all the posts and I got to wondering....what determines your disembarkment zone? Is it the deck your on? I'm thinking "no" because when I was on the Imagination, we were on deck 7 and we had zone 5.

Thanks in advance! ;)

Cheers,

Yep... deck and location... forward or aft.

On the Conquest Class ships there's up to 35 zones...

I was told it was flight times. Not sure how true that is but it would make sence to let the people who have early flights off first

We were close and did wheelchair disembarkation and had to wait since we were picked up before 9 am by the folks who do wheelchair assists in a lounge all that time .... and they were late so it was 1 pm and we all had to pee so bad by then, but we were told to wait. We were told if we left the lounge the wheelchairs would not be saved. .. what a mess that one was.

 

about 4 1/2 hours we waited that time. Never did wheelchair assisted disembarkation again. .. carnival has sure has some terribly long disembarkations. Nothing like being the last off the ship. I had two HC people with me that time and needed the help.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience! That's awful!!

I'm surprised because my first and only experience with disembarkation went very smoothly. We put our luggage out the night before, and when Zone 5 was called, we were off the ship lickity spilt.

I think it matbe a combination. We had a letter with Zone 1 tags for the suite. Another letter with Zone 2 tags saying it was for an early flight.

 

Of course we used Zone 1 tags :D

Im now Platinum so dont have it any more.

 

One other bad one was the full customs, we still had people getting off Triumph until close to 1 pm from our roll call. I was so glad that time I did self disembarkation, though I stood in line 2 hours .. it could have been much worse.

 

Plus the one where Ecstasy hit the pier and broke it the loading arm .. that one didnt go well either.

 

For a while there I was thinking Carnival sure was bad, but now that Im platinum havent run into problems.

Ugh! I haven't left for vacation yet and you're already talking about going home.:eek:

I know this is not an answer to the OP question, but the thread seems to have varied onto the path of needing/wanting to get off quicker. The CD on our Elation Nov. 2009 cruise told us if we needed to get off earlier then the tags that had been given then we could go to the guest services desk and tell them that you lost your tags and needed new ones and then to ask for zone 2.

I would think that the zone you get relates more to flight times & if you drove to the pier. I've been on deck 1 and gotten zone 28 and I've been on deck 9 and gotten a zone 29~ both times we had a car at the pier~

We drove to Baltimore and were on deck 6 aft and were assigned Zone 1.
