When do you actually leave the boat at the end of the cruise?

[Lemailu]

We are on Nautica leaving Barcelona Sept 6th and arriving in Athens on Sept 16th.

The boat is supposed to arrive at 6 a.m.

1. Is there a difference between Concierge level passenger and others of is everyone leaving the boat at the same time?

2. Is there still time for breakfast, etc. or do you have to disembark that early?

 

Thanks

A form will be sent around for you to fill out and indicate what time you want to leave. On our trip there were 4 choices. Yes there is time for breakfast, they will let you know the options for that morning and the times.

getting off is timed,

not a mad dash.

 

Except in the south Pacific, all must be off by 9:00 AM.

 

There is time for breakfast, unless you booked yourself for a very early outbound flight.

Leaving the ship is not determined by cabin category. It is determined by flight schedules. Independent guests (that is, people who are not going home that day) can leave whenever they wish.

 

Usually everyone must be off by 9am.

 

Breakfast is earlier than usual (at least in the GDR) but it is available -- unless -- as has been said -- you have to leave the ship extremely early.

As soon as they can get you off....but always time for the first meal of the day.

Tenders are boats.. The ship is a ship

 

You can put a boat on a ship but you can not put a ship on a boat...

Despite when you fly out you're typically asked to be out of your cabin by about 8 A.M. so the cabin stewards can begin their turn around. At that point you once again have your carry-on baggage with you. Only one time were we off as late as 11 AM, and that was because of delays clearing for disembarkation in the Port of Miami (an issue I understand is not all that uncommon). The Terrace and GDR are open for breakfast, but usually close around 8:30 - they have to accomplish turn around too.
