widehunters3 Posted August 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Can anyone tell me the required times to be back on ship in each Port. We are sailing August 28 on the Spirit. We arrive Seattle at 10:50. I would love to visit the Space Needle. Do you think this is possible. Any suggestions as to the best approach for this?? Also curious what time we need to be back on the ship on Friday Aug 31st. This is our Skagway Port Stop. I can look at our brochure, but usually you need to be on board two hours before sailing time. All help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoma03 Posted August 17, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I can't answer specifically about your ship and itinerary, but on the cruises that I've been on, the all-aboard time in the ports is usually 30 minutes prior to departure, not 2 hours! Not sure where you got the information about 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 17, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2012 As this would be a Carnival fleetwide policy, I would ask on the Carnival board. For the start of the cruise, boarding will be mandatory either 120 minutes or 90 minutes prior to scheduled sailing. For ports you stop at on the cruise, typical is 30 minutes prior to sailing, but again, check on the Carnival board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PattiPB Posted August 18, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just debarked August 14. It was a magical cruise---just submitted a lengthy review. Seattle: We left slightly before 4 pm. Saw people running onboard around 3:30 AFTER the muster drill. Our flight landed at 10 am, and we walked onboard at noon going directly from airport via Carnival transfer. Personally, I wouldn't chance touring that day. Upon debarkation, however, you can have your luggage stored and head there if you have a later flight. Maybe that will work for you? Skagway all aboard ws 8:30 pm. It is always 30 minutes before you leave a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widehunters3 Posted August 21, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks for your reply. I have given up on the thought of going to the Space Needle. I appreciate everyones help and information. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherryf Posted August 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You may not be able to visit and go up to the observation deck, but you'll still see it in the distance. Honestly, I've lived in the Seattle area for over 20 years and I've never been up in the Space Needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
