lneilan Posted November 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2017 If a ship is at dock overnight, is there anything like a curfew for returns to the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted November 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Unlikely, I know there was no curfew when Zuiderdam was in Quebec overnight in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted November 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2017 If the ship is overnighting, there is no isse to return at anytime you want We returne at around 2 am after our Fado show in Lisbon and it was a non issue. there are always security guards there to let you in. We did Venice ovenight and roll call members arrived much later and also had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellersrest Posted November 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2017 If a ship is at dock overnight, is there anything like a curfew for returns to the ship? I think it depends on the port authorities at the particular port. When we were at Tianjin (Beijing) there was a set time to be back on the ship, if you were not staying off ship overnight. This was because customs and immigration closed the port until the following morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted November 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2017 No curfew for us in Venice, Reykjavik, Istanbul, or Hamilton Bermuda. In St Petersburg we did not have individual visas, and were only allowed off the ship with an excursion guide. I don't know if there was a curfew for folks who had individual visas.

lneilan Posted November 3, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks, HAL is doing a really terrible job of arranging tours for those of us who want to see Havana and I am trying to put something together myself. It seems we land too late for a legal excursion. i am not sure how that could have happened, but it appears to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Not sure about Havana since a HAL ship hasn't been there yet. We have only experienced a couple of ports where we had to be back on the ship at a certain time even though we overnighted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELENPSL Posted November 3, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 3, 2017 What happened if you weren't? As someone else mentioned, we had the same experience in China. Even though we were overnighting the government put a curfew on when you could return. After that time they locked the gates at the port and they would not allow you back on the ship until morning. I don't know anyone who got locked out but I would guess you would either have to find a hotel or sleep in the port terminal. Neither one is really a good choice.

igraf Posted November 3, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2017 By "land too late" I assume that you mean arriving at port rather than an airplane landing. There are several upcoming HAL cruises to Cuba that arrive in Havana at 8am and stay late into the night. Perhaps you should select a cruise that better fits your desire to see more of Havana. igraf Thanks, HAL is doing a really terrible job of arranging tours for those of us who want to see Havana and I am trying to put something together myself.
