Symphony Departure Time

[offtopic]

We are sailing out of Miami on Symphony OTS in mid May, with day 2 coco cay, so would imagine we wouldn’t be rushed to be first ones out of port.

 

What time on this Western carrib route with day 2 coco cay does the ship leave Miami? We have the UDP and the selection for first nights dinner was early or late, and I don’t want to miss sail away as that’s one of our favorite times to be on deck.

 

We are used to normal 4:30-5 departures, but have seen YouTube videos that appeared like people ate dinner before a sun setting departure?

I am confused - Doesn’t your itinerary list a departure time?

 

Presumably you will head out to sea and circle?

That's likely due to an un-scheduled delay on departure. It also depends on the time of the year for that video.

The listed departure time is 4:30 pm but I thought that was just the default always listed. Please enlighten if not the case.

For a few weeks, all the ships from Miami, and FLL were late leaving. I think it was because of all the flight delays up the east coast due to snow and ice.

Im sorry, I don't understand your question.  Why don't you just look at your paperwork to see the times of departure?  I could do it for you but I think you really should.

If you don’t understand the question then you probably shouldn’t reply (think of this as a life tip). I’ve gotten useful replies above without your condescension. Bye.

Onboard the Symphony now...last Saturday, embarkation day, numerous announcements were made to advise passengers to complete their muster drill...the ship was just a bit late for sail-away....guessing almost 6pm.  We watched a few ships sail by us at Terminal A.

thank you for my life tip.  And for giving me a laugh😃

Symphony has been late going out for the last two weeks.  Once, by over an hour.  I watch it sail out each week on the live cam.  It helps my wanderlust.  We still have about 8o days to wait.

We always pick the late dinner, as we also love being out on deck during sunset.

Thanks for all the responses, I think we will change our 6 pm dinner reservation that first night to the later time just to be safe!

Went to see her leave on Saturday with the kids to let them know they’ll be on the spring break sailing. This was leaving government cut at 6:15. She was the last one out of 7 that day. We have embarkation open till 430-5 so that might give you a better answer

Thank you, yes it does. Such a cute idea about surprising the kids, have a great trip!
