Disembark on port days

[pna]

We have a 9 AM tour (not through Oceania) on a port day that we aren't scheduled to arrive in port until 8 AM.   Will that be an issue?   The tour says to meet at 8:30 in the terminal.

Not enough info (tender vs dock; tour only for that ship's passengers, etc). 

In any case, an 8 AM arrival doesn't necessarily mean you can get off then (e.g., arrival late, customs clearance, ship's tours folks go first if a tender port, etc).

Bottom line is 8:30 won't be a problem unless it's a problem.

Also it depends on the tour itself.  If your ship is the only ship in port  or no other non ship guests, no problem, they will wait.  If it is a Viator type tour with other non ship guests on the tour, then the democratic process prevails.  When the guests on the bus protest waiting beyond  a reasonable period,  bye bye.  Saw it happena few times in 20 years of cruising.

usually the ship arrives before the posted time and once cleared  pax can disembark

 usually 30 mins  later

as noted above depends on the port and tour guide

Just call the tour operator and ask if they'll wait.
