Priority disembarkation for NCL excursions?

[johnql]

It's been a while since I've booked an NCL-sponsored excursion, so bear with me. Do they still offer priority disembarkation for passengers who have booked through the ship? Do they still have everybody (on NCL tours) gather first in the main showroom and then call out the excursions one-by-one for disembarkation? Any info on the current protocol would be greatly appreciated.

 

If it's relevant, I'm asking specifically about the Spirit's procedure on their Med cruises.

Just off the Jewel and there was no priority excursion disembarkation but 2 out of 4 excursions we had they had us meet in the theater first but after your excursion is called you still go to the same line as everyone else to get off the ship.

Thank you, webzila.

 

Anyone with recent experience on the Spirit?

we did the spirit Med cruise a few years ago and booked private tours in each port

We met our tourmates in atrium about 15 minutes before posted disembarkation time and had no difficulty walking off as soon as ship cleared

 

ship tours would be in theatre waiting for their tour to be called

 

It would be different if any tender ports where priority tender tickets would go to Suites,gold/platinum latitudes or first in line

 

But for walk off ports no priority

It depends. If you are in a tender port you will meet at a specified location on the ship at a certain time and escorted to the tenders. If you are docked you will be given a time and location ashore to meet, there is no priority disembarkation when you are docked.
