Skeener76 Posted February 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2016 What time do they open the gangway? If we are in port at 2, can we make it to an excursion that starts at 3? We are interested in the whale watch and brewery tour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted February 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2016 As long as you are not delayed, then you would have no problem. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted February 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) The time posted for arrival is usually the time that the gangway is available for departure. All ship-sponsored excursions will adapt to late arrivals. If you want to observe the sail-in, be on deck or your verandah an hour before that time.

Rare Coral Posted February 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2016 If you are docked, it won't be a problem. We tendered once on the Radiance of the Seas with a 2-10 time in port. It took forever to get off the ship as all of the ship sponsored tours got priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Definitely not with a ship excursion, low probability with an independent one - the vendor "needs" you to be on the excursion so that they can make money.)

Always go with their recommendations. I would assume your port time would be totally acceptable. With ship excursions- "always" that are acceptable.

marshhawk Posted February 5, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2016 If you book through your cruise line, they will probably have you meet at a certain time, in a certain area, and you will walk off together (if time is of the essence). Or once you walk off the ship, there will be someone standing there with a sign. I don't know what ship you are on, but our cruise docks in Juneau at 2 and our excursion is at 2:45. We will get our tickets delivered to our cabin, usually on the first day, and it will state on the ticket where and when to meet our tour group. Hope you have a great cruise, and I hope this helps.
