Rare ColeThornton Posted September 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I don't believe you can do that, you need to ask to the HQ in Miami. Is it not something that the knowledgeable people on this forum can answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HQ hmm I dont have much luck with HQ, Well I want to know about PPT de-embarkation on nov 14, will the ship be cleared the night before?, is it feasible (if things go according to plan, experienced cruiser here) to actually get off ship the ship at 6am?

Once I needed permission to get on the ship 2 days later after embarkation, it was approved but I had to email the ship and one of the jokers with the epaulet stripes on their jacket had to approve, so that type of an official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 20, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2019 As NCL monitors Cruise Critic your use of the term "Jokers" when referring to the Officers will not endear you to NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer-kraut Posted September 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I doubt NCL will know how fast the ship will be cleared, its all up to Customs & Border Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sometimes experience and knowledge of the port go along way, example San Diego customs would come on board and not let anyone off until the whole ship was cleared, a night mare with literally a 3 hours delay (dont know if their procedures are still the same). So in that case NCL would know it is a nightmare and could inform some joker like me. Our last cruise I think we disembarked in Manhattan and we literally got off the ship 1/2 hour before stated time on the daily. So once again knowledge of the port and procedures go along way, that is why I would like to ask. Also sometimes in ppt windstar docks the night before and people are allowed off the ship, so this is why I need to communicate with an experienced entity in this arena.

casofilia Posted September 20, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2019 @Newleno If you mean Pape'ete by PPT how about trying https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/forum/62-pacific-islands-all/ with a request to see if they know. But I see that the following seems to be your case Wed Bora Bora, French Polynesia 8:00 am 6:00 pm Thu Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia (DISEMBARK) 6:00 am If so I can't see there being a clearance being done before you arrive in Pape'ete. In that case you won't get off too early and will have to see what happens with Customs and Immigration. When we were going through Pape'ete a few years ago those debarking were having to stay a couple of extra days due to the plane schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 20, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 20, 2019 @Newleno The other problem you will find is that NCL ships only visit Pape'ete very infrequently, maybe twice a year, on re-positioning cruises. No one in NCL may have up-to-date information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! That is why I need to know if everything goes according to plan does 6am, if the stars align, does 6am mean disembark at 6am, I know things can go awry (we are seasoned cruisers.)
