pna Posted December 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridatravelersforlife Posted December 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 24, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted December 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 24, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
