Nothing stopping you getting back off the ship as long as you are back on board by the time listed.

Once you board you can leave the ship just like at any other port of call. I have seen this done a lot on cruises departing from San Juan and have done it myself. I don't know that leaving the ship is as common in places like Ft. Lauderdale or Miami and I have never done it there.

Walk on and off and take as many pictures as you want...no one cares..unless you're "photo bombing" :')

I’ve always wondered this myself lol. So if you leave I would imagine you would have to get back in that long security line with everyone else.

Yes, but if you are coming back say after 2pm, there won't be much of a line.

Unless the OP is just getting off for pictures....they would not be leaving the secured area so no need to go back thru security

Absolutely! Your embarkation port is treated like another port of call. I've done it in NJ. Got onboard, then got off to see the 9/11 memorial.
