Sun Disembarkation

[Cruisin4US]

Where is the best place to be on the Sun to be one of the first off the ship when you're doing self-assist disembarkation? We now need to make sure we are off asap since the airline just changed the times of our flight leaving Miami.

 

Thank you!

On our cruise, if you waited on Deck 6 on deck just a little bit down from the Stardust Theatre you'd about be at the disembarkation spot.

Also check with Guest Services during the week and ask specifically where the line will begin.

Good luck! Our experience was that folks started lining up more than an hour before the ship even docked. We couldn't even get off the elevator because the lines were backed up two across solidly to the elevators.

Depending on the airline policy, since they changed your schedule, you might be able to call them and rebook a later flight to avoid such stress.

 

Also, be sure that you are carrying all your bags....if you don't you won't be allowed to leave early. We had two couples who tried to get off in the early groups, and they did not have their luggage. They held up the exit line for at least 10 minutes arguing that they wanted to leave early. NCL had a senior officer pull them off the line and turn them back.

 

The flyer is very clear about times and under what conditions folks can leave early.

 

And just a general note to all, when leaving the ship you must have your key card for that final swipe....that also delays the line as people rummage through purses and pockets looking for the key cards.:)

In 2011 we were told to line up at 7:30 right near guest services (don't remember the deck) however due to non-US passengers not going to their scheduled customs check we didn't walk off until almost 9:30.

Thanks for all the helpful hints!

 

Now are flight is at just after 1 p.m. Hopefully this will be fine if we self-disembark.
