Debarkation in Miami after Key West port

[chrismch]

The last port on our cruise is Key West. Will they do customs review on the ship there before anyone goes to shore?

 

What is the latest we'd be able stay on the ship on debarkation day in Miami?

One would think since KeyWest was your first port into the US, Miami would be easy-just off the ship.

We had this situation on last years world cruise.

 

In Key West there was a quick immigration for all passengers. In Miami everyone went through customs.

you do Immigration in KW

Miami just get off & hand in your customs declaration

Usually they want you off by 9 am

If I'm not mistaken, on our Caribbean cruise last year on the Riveria, the immigration officers came on board at Key West. We did a quick check with them in the Horizon's Lounge. Then when we disembarked in Miami we handed in our customs form

That is a process for aliens. A person-to-person check is required.

 

One might be required to attend earlier in the morning than one would hope on the final day of the vacation.

 

Had a frustrating disembarkation in Miami and loooong wait to present ourselves thanks to the officials very late arrival.

They won't force you off of the ship itself, but you and all of your posessions need to be out of your stateroom by 9AM at the very latest.

we usually go to breakfast then go line up by then the line for NON US citizens is shorter ;)

Our time slot on one cruise was 7:30 am we were not even at the dock & people were lined up right through the casino (Regatta) so we went to eat

when we returned we walked right into the lounge only a few people ahead of us

in & out in 5 mins
