In 99% of the ports, yes. Some ports that require a visa, such as St. Petersburg, on board lunch would be very complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2019 yes no problem If you are close to the port the ship is open for meals 😉 Usually the GDR is open for lunch but in some ports where most people will be off the ship only the Terrace/Waves may be open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly so if you are doing a group tour then it is pointless to return to the ship to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello kroeni, It seems some have lost track of your original question. If you are not on an organized tour, yes you may return to the ship at any time for any reason and in most cases can take off again. Enjoy your cruise. -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbb Posted February 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 17, 2019 yes, you can return to the ship and if we're doing a diy in the port city, we often return to the ship to drop off/pick up ponchos, jackets, tweak the photo equipment we're carrying, (change my shoes in one case!) and sometimes it is easier to grab something at Terrace and then head back out again.
