Ship docked overnight in port.

[lazy day]

We will be on Voyager later this year and we are docked overnight in Hobart. Does anyone know if there is a set time you have to be back onboard on that night. It doesn't matter if not an RCI ship any ship will do just to give us some idea.

 

Thanks

Hi lazy day,

We had an overnight stopover in Melbourne on our P&O cruise last January.

We were attending a night session of the Australian Open Tennis and that, as you would probably know, can go on until the wee small hours.

 

We asked that same question of the officers as we departed the gangway, and were told there was no set time to be back on board by that night. The gangway would be manned all night.

We didn't check out their answer I might add, but it was well after midnight when we returned to the ship. I heard others say they came back even later. It was good to know there was no rush!

Hope this helps,

I might add, we had stopovers in Fremantle and Melbourne as well on another cruise, and there were no time restrictions circulated for return to the ship that first night.

 

So, I would still check at the time of disembarking, but I think, from my experience, there will not be any.

The ship ,and the wharf ,will have 24/7 security . You can usually come and go as you please. We were on a cruise once where passengers flights arrived at 2am, and they came on board all excited from the flight . You could hear them from one end of the ship to the other and then they slammed the cabin door and woke the whole corridor up.

If you are coming back late , the ones who may give you a grilling will be the shoreside security, so it may pay to have some photo ID as well as your cruise card....just in case.:)

No set time as a rule.

My friend is on this cruise. She asked RCI this question and was advised 9pm. Seems a tad early to me. Might get a different answer once she is onboard.

9pm! Sounds very school camp to me. Wonder if you need to have lights out in your room by 9:30pm and no knock knocking on friends cabins doors.[emoji13]

We were overnight in Auckland once on RCI Radiance and they had to move berths in the wee hours, so the instruction was be back on by midnight or not until 2 am, and provided instructions how to get to the 'after 2 am' berth. So they would have been open all night if it wasn't for the change.

I would say it would depend on the Port and whether it usually stays open 24 hours or late, rather than the ship.

Had an overnight in Venice and there was no curfew. I will be overnighting in Darwin in a couple of weeks.

Will be interesting to see if we have a curfew. As I have a small child I will be back to the ship way before all the over 50 party animals.

We have overnighted twice on Rhapsody OTS.

 

In Cairns (docked) we could come and go as we pleased all day & night. We had a late night visit to the Casino (the ship one was closed) & passed people getting off as we were returning.

 

In Hawaii (tenders), again able to come & go at will. Big advantages of the overnight stop was we were able to attend a luau, arriving back on board around 11:30pm. People (mostly crew) were boarding tenders to go ashore when we were returning. Also people left the ship around 3am to travel to the volcano sunrise.The tenders ran all night, although at less frequency in the small hours.

We overnighted in Tauranga on the Sun Princess due to weather and people were going on and off throughout the night as they wish. Mostly crew after 12am. The gangway and the Port entrance were manned 24/7.

 

This January we overnighted in Melbourne on the Diamond Princess and again people were going on and off throughout the night.
