Hi on Ventura sailing from Barbados feb 15th, looking to book our own trips but cant find out anywhere what time ship leaves ports, will ventura leave all ports of call same time each day?

Hi caravan man

 

We are on this cruise too. We have been on two previous caribbean cruises and usually everyone has to be back on board by 5pm, the ship usually leaves soon after

Except by coincidence, it won't be the same time each day. It depends on tides, port fees, time to next port, activities ashore, arrival time, etc.

 

Does the P&O website not help? For a trip in less than a month, times will have been decided by now.

Look on the individual port websites. That should tell you the cruise ship schedule.

From what I have read, this seems to be one of the 'quirks' of P&O. Schedules will have been decided months, if not years ahead, but it seems as if you won't find out your departure time from the various ports until you are onboard. Most cruise lines publish such details in their brochures. Call me cynical but presumably P&O are quite happy that holding back this information makes organising private excursions more difficult?
