Early Debarkation

[nordski]

This has probably been covered in the excellent posts from those who are/have been on cruises in the past month, but are there any provisions for early debarkation ? I am assuming not.

 

We are planning flights for next summer and fully realize that policies will change, but would like to know what is happening now.

 

Thanks for considering this question.

It is limited as it’s totally dependent on the authorities in the final port and how much detail they want to verify. 
When we arrived in Athens Captain Johannes explained it was irrelevant how early he arrived the authorities would not come on and start checking before 7 so whilst early disembarkation was available it merged into the first group around 7.30. The week before we heard the port people turned up late so nearer 8.   
So very much depends on the authorities and at that point how much checking of documents records (and possibly test results) they want to do.

Thanks so much for that information.

 

I will assume that that’s the scenario I should plan around. As things improve, it will be a bonus!
