Can you go back and forth as many times as you want when in port?

[banshee72]

Can you leave the ship....come back for lunch and then leave again?

[BND]

You can walk off and on the ship repeatedly and no one will care. Treat it like a hotel.

 

ETA, Man, the time stamp is screwed up still. I was actually third to post, but it put me second.

[Toddcan]

Yup

[jojochef]

Yes

Be aware in ports where you tender it isn't really practical as there's often a line for tenders, especially coming back, and the ride itself adds time.

 

So going back and forth more than once is a big time suck in tendered ports.

[gelo7]

Yes, you can.

We did this in St. Maarten last cruise- Orient Bay in the morning, late lunch on ship, then off to Maho to watch the planes come in. Tight, be aware of your time on any island. Next time we visit, we will choose one or the other, we were a little ambitious and luckily it worked out for us..

Yes, you can get off as many times as you would like, but each time you do, you will have that long walk back to the ship, and you may have to stand in line to show your seapass card to security - or stand in line to scan your seapass card - or stand in line for the xray equipment. Mid-day, it's not all that time consuming, but it can be - if you run into a large tour group coming back.

 

The only times we've done it is when there is shopping/bars near the dock and we have alot of time to kill after our morning tour.

[OCruisers]

Yes, as often as you wish.

 

Sometimes, as others have mentioned, doing this can be a "time sponge" ... especially in tender ports.

Yes, we've done that! Came back for lunch after a 1/2 day tour, and decided to go ashore to check out the souvenir stores :p

[banshee72]

Thanks all. None of the 4 ports do you have to tender in so it might be a little less of a time suckage.

[NorbertsNiece]

I took the liberty of looking at your itinerary.

 

Here's the pier at St Maarten. We reversed in. You can get an idea of the walk involved.

 

 

St Kitts

 

 

San Juan you park in town but have that walk again......

 

 

Labadee : lunch is provided ashore.

Yup get off and on as many times as you like just make sure you have your seapass card. I did go back to the ship and have lunch and then back on shore again. Depending on the port of call, it could be a trek to get back.
