Any order to debarkation?

[fla33023]

Just wondering if there is any rhyme or reason to luggage tags for those without any type of priority. Just took my first RCL cruise on IOS. I was in an OV on Deck 2 and had luggage tags 31. Would that be the case most of the time? On NCL, I've picked the luggage tag based on what time I wanted to leave the ship. Nothing serious, just curious!

You can change that tag if you have an early flight or traveling with others and they are earlier,just go to the pursers desk and they will change it so you can get off earlier

The reason is just to have the embatkation process organized.

I am sure there is some rhyme or reason for the different numbers of the tags ..... some people need to leave very early and others ( like us on the last cruise) have very late flights and they want to be the last ones to leave the ship. We had tag number 35 and left the ship about 9:45, they had our flight number and there was no hurry to get to the airport.

When you complete your set sail pass you are asked what time and by what method you are travelling home. I'm sure this has something to do with what luggage tag number you are assigned.

You can change your tags at the pursers desk when you get your departure information. Tell them when you want to depart the ship they will usually accommodate as close as possible to the time you want

That would make a lot of sense. Thx!

This is common sense but has nothing to do with it.

Why elae would they ask for that information?

Scotty G, I also question your supposition.

 

We are "local" (live in Jax) so drive to our cruises in Fla. We are normally assigned a high number for dis-embarkation.

The do disembarkation according to flight time....those with early flights will have priority over those with late flights...although everyone will be off the ship pretty damn early.

You can always change them.

Not always, in my case my friends pick me up and I live 10 miles away from the port so I always tell Royal that I'm leaving after noon but I still get a 9am disembark tag. A quick visit to service desk and they provide me with tags for late disembarkation

Just off 7 day Allure; on Day 5 they passed out small questionnaire about desired time to disembark, etc. You could request a particular time period.

 

Those with early flights or who want off fast and willing to carry off own luggage had priority. We went for first set off (driving home) with luggage assist. We got tags for #5 and designated time 7:55 - 8:20 (if I remember correctly).

 

Walked off at 7:50 with no issues as self carry individual had mostly left by then (they had been lined up waiting to get off). Windjammer packed but doable at 6:30 - 7:00.

 

Was driving out of parking lot at Terminal 18 by 8:20.

It always seems if you list an early flight they will distribute tags with an early number.

True. But a change also be requested.
