CruiserBruce Posted September 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Expect that you will be able to get off pretty close to the time stated. HAL's policy is you must be on board by 30 minutes prior to scheduled sailing. This is a fleetwide policy, not just Alaska, and is discussed on the HAL board regularly.

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2012 As soon as the ship is tied off and the gangway is set up, you can leave the ship. This usually only takes a few minutes. That is a nice itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted September 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You need to be back on board 30 minutes prior to the posted time. As mentioned, you can expect close to these times. IF you are looking to book tours with independent vendors, BE CERTAIN to disclose your ship and port time, and go with the vendor's recommendation for scheduling.
