brenderlou Posted August 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Can anyone tell me the time frame to self disembark and is the process easy on the Oasis? We haven't done this in a long time and I remember just a mass of people with luggage waiting to get off the ship when we did this on other ships. We are doing the 2 night Oasis so I'm sure there will be more self disembarking since we don't need to pack much. If it's going to be packed and crazy to do this, we'll just get luggage tags and put our luggage out the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted August 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2014 2 nights? That's hardly worth the effort. about 9:30am is when they want you gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply about time but what is effort for some isn't for others. We live 10 minutes from the port and have been on Oasis before. Any vaca no matter how small is not an effort for us. To each there own is a great philosophy to live by. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Edited August 26, 2014 by brenderlou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted August 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2014 2 nights? That's hardly worth the effort. about 9:30am is when they want you gone. We are cruising on the 2 nighter, as well. Taking great effort by flying in and staying overnight in Ft. Lauderdale. Spending a lot of money, too! :D brenderlou - I read awhile back that we could stay on the ship as late as 10:00 or so, or until the last of the passengers are called for disembarkation to customs. That's what we are planning, but with so many staying on for the transatlantic, and so many carrying their small bags off, the ship may clear faster than normal and the "last call" for passengers may come earlier. I think it best to be ready to leave by 9:30...maybe sooner. We are going to eat breakfast in the dining room, freshen up, and then vacant our stateroom. We will do one last walk around the ship, perhaps lounge for a bit until that "call" comes for us to leave. :( Our flight is not until 1:45.

MattInFLL Posted August 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Brenderlou, as we did on Majesty last weekend we asked for the earliest departure for self departure but then went off the ship at about 9 AM. As long as your tag has been called you can leave the ship anytime after that. The reason they are so concerned about leaving when your tag is called, when you're not using express departure, is because your bags may not be in the carousels yet. We asked our state room attendant what was the latest time we could leave without screwing up his schedule. And that's how we decided when to get off the ship. Maybe we will see you this weekend, but for sure on the Liberty! Cb stop being a downer! :-) Yes it's two days but I can't cruise for seven right now and I want to experience Oasis.

You can't book it on the website, so I guess it's full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone can post and give an answer, but I didn't think the dining room was open for breakfast on disembarkation day. Choices were more limited than a normal day as far as I remember.

You have to understand. Anything that doesn't fit her criteria, whether it be what type of dining to select, where to eat breakfast, which pool to frequent or how long a cruise should be to make it "worth the effort", is simply "wrong" Consider the source and enjoy whatever cruise you can afford or fit into your schedule:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted August 26, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Dining room is open on disembarkation day. See the hours in the flyer linked in post #2. Thanks for the information. We had a quick breakfast at the Park Cafe around 8:00 - thought the dining room was closed. We waited in the dining room on deck 5 to depart (had luggage valet and was told we couldn't leave until 8:00, plus family with us had an 8:30 departure call). Dining room was all closed up - as flyer indicated, it closed at 8:00 a.m. We didn't even have any coffee/juice - already gone! Even though flyer indicated it would be available during departure. Departed ship around 8:30 or 8:45. Thanks for the posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate23 Posted August 26, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If you are referring to departing taking your own luggage off, the latest time we had to be off the ship this past Saturday was 7:45. That was a 7 night cruise. I don't know if it is a different time for a shorter cruise. BTW, I would without a doubt take my own luggage off in the future. We were off the ship and done with customs in less than 20 minutes. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted August 26, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 26, 2014 10 - 10:30 is about the latest to walk off, with or without your own bags makes no difference in that regards. If you are eating in dining room check the schedule because it opens and closes earlier than other days. Without being in a rush, and being able to sit down for a nice breakfast, we generally are able to disembark around 9:30AM. Have fun on the 2 nighter. Ain't got no time for sleep on that!

Kate Breakfast is from 6:00 or 6:30am to 8:00am.:) Last time to debark with luggage in hand may have been posted as 7:45, but you can go anytime. ;) For this cruise, we will have only hand luggage. Last time for disembarking and gathering your luggage in the warehouse is normally 10:30am. We have tried all ways, and all times. The worse lately has been at Port Everglades because of low numbers of custom employees. Plan on at least a 20 minute wait, no matter what time you disembark. :rolleyes: We waited almost an hour in customs last March when we disembarked around 9:00 from a Celebrity cruise.

dancinman66 Posted August 26, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Around 9:30 but on some ports you can pay to stay on till 4pm if your flight is late Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted August 26, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would not book a 2 night cruise personally but telling someone else it isnt worth THEIR effort is absurd :rolleyes: Typical of the poster though. It doesnt fit her agenda so its wrong. Dont expect a reply back either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted August 26, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 26, 2014 2 nights? That's hardly worth the effort. about 9:30am is when they want you gone. The link Bob posted says the last people called for disembarkation is at 10:45am. Maybe to the OP it's well worth the effort.:) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFM3 Posted August 26, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 26, 2014 We just got off the Oasis on Saturday. We had no choice but to do the walk off because we had an early flight home. You can start getting off as early at 6:30 as long as the ship has cleared customs. They give you up to 8:00. We left our cabin at 7:45 and were in the airport at our gate by 8:30. Don't know if this was rare but exceptionally convenient and easy. I will do my own walk off from here on out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattInFLL Posted August 27, 2014 #21 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Since I suspect there will be mostly self disembarks this particular trip, I am guessing the later we get off, the longer we will wait for customs. Thankfully it will be Labor Day. The only place I need to go is home for a nap :) Edited August 27, 2014 by MattInFLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyL128 Posted August 27, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You have to be off the ship by last call. I think around 10:30? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully it will be Labor Day. The only place I need to go is home for a nap :) I hope Labor Day doesn't mean a shortage of labor from customs. :eek: I read a review last night from a recent Oasis cruiser. He posted the disembarkation times, and 10:45 was the last call. Again, I believe that the ship will clear faster this time with the lack of luggage to handle, and they may want us off earlier. :( Still planning on our 9:30 - 10:00 time frame, giving us an hour to get off and through customs. Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to catch cab and get to the airport. Our flight leaves at 1:45. We cannot check in more than an hour earlier, so no need to rush.
