disembarktion- can you just walk off at the end as you can on NCL?

[taymiss2]

We will have a long ride ahead of us when we head home and want to get going as soon as possible. Does Carnival allow people to walk off with their bags prior to specific floors being called? I am used to NCL where it is not a problem to walk off anytime you want as long as you can carry your own bags.

 

I have read conflicting reports about this. We will be on the Dream in less than 2 weeks!!!!

Yes, It's called self assist. If memory serves you still have to wait till they call your deck, but you do get off before those who put there bags out the night before.

They were calling floors as we left. We waited, but there was no one monitoring if you weren't from that floor.

[Zanpa]

I have done it a couple of times and they never said anything to us.

saving grace....we've been out of the port parking ramp and on the Interstate heading North by as early as 7:10 a.m.

You can be among the first to debark if you're carrying all of your own luggage off with you.

[taymiss2]

So self assist means you still have to wait for them to call your floor but just carry your own bags when your floor is called? Oh my lord that really sucks if true. :eek:

 

I do remember having to sit in a lounge and wait for us to be allowed of the ship when I sailed Carnival years ago. Have done NCL ever since so didn't really think about it until now.

that would be completely awesome!! I am not going to stress about it and will just hope for the best.

[MarcelLucSell]

It was orderly

Just head down and go.

You are still off before a large majority of the passengers and no one is going to check what floor you were actually staying on. When they call self assist debark just get off the ship.

You picked a great ship BTW. Dream is awesome.
