Earliest time off ship

[lois1112]

I am going on the Sapphire in May (which I have been on 10 times) and I've drawn a blank...I will want my bags handled by Princess (not the walk off) and I need to hire a limo....if I remember correctly--disembakrment starts around 0800....am I right? (i'm elite so I know I can get the early time...I've done it before)

Yes, 8 or so if there are no problems.

I would definitely do an early walk off. A better chance of not having to wait for a taxi. However, I have been reading some recent cruise reviews and they all mention the number of customs agents were minimal. A few mentioned just four people. This created quite a back up.

8 am if there is no problems...

Since you obviously don't need to catch a flight, make it easy on yourself and shoot for 9am. Let those who made the mistake of booking a morning flight get off first. You'll be back home by 10am easily.

Yes 8-8:30.

I agree. We live near Seattle, so take a limo service home. We shoot for 9:30. It's nice to take our time getting ready, linger over breakfast in the MDR, and grab one last chocolate doughnut from the IC.

Where are you disembarking the Sapphire, San Pedro or Vancouver?

[lois1112]

Thanks everyone! I am disembarking in San Pedro (which I have done before) customs is a hit and miss...sometimes it takes a long time...others its quick.

 

I've ordered the limo for 0930 so will ask for a 0900 time to get off the ship.

 

I sail in 22 days and can not wait!
