MissAppleBear Posted March 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I want to do a tour in Honolulu (7am-3pm)before getting on the ship, but it says we can board at 12 noon. Ship doesn't leave until 6pm. Is showing up at 4pm a problem? or should I skip the tour so i can be at the ship sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffinz Posted March 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2019 they usually have the muster drill about 4pm - they did on our Solstice cruise last year.... I prefer to be on the ship as early as possible to enjoy all the amenities (bars / OVC) on offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted March 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Depending on the tour, if you're late, they can deny booking. I wouldn't chance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted March 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It’s ship tour? Or you are on your own? we are on the Eclipse and departure time is at midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAppleBear Posted March 28, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted March 28, 2019 After further inspection of our cruise documents it states "CHECK-IN BETWEEN: 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM" and ship Departs at 8pm. It would not be a ship tour, it would be one on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure that you do not arrive any later than 6:00 or there would be an issue. Enjoy your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourist1292 Posted March 28, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I read somewhere it said one need to be board at least 2 hours before departure. So you have until 6pm to get on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanLvr Posted March 28, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 28, 2019 On departure day there is a true deadline to be onboard. If you miss it....you do not sail. Don't be late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted March 28, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Well if it’s board by 6:00, 4:00 is no worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never been to Honolulu, i assume if tour ends at 3 in Waikiki and we head to the ship shortly thereafter. that leaves us at least 2.5 hours from Waikiki to cruise ship terminal in a cab? Even in bad traffic I'm hoping that will work out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayleeman Posted March 28, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Sounds pretty safe! Enjoy!! Actually, I have just heard about it. Our son is stationed on Oahu. Our other son lives in Maui (been there twice). This summer we are going to visit both (by air!) so we get to experience the Honolulu traffic nightmare first-hand finally! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayleeman Posted March 29, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2019 @MissAppleBear FYI: We just heard from our Oahu D-I-L that the Arizona memorial platform will remain closed thru the summer. Boats still go out to it and the visitors' center are still open. So, if your Honolulu tour includes Pearl Harbor, make sure you get to the parts that may be of particular interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
