Embarking times

[Stan71]

First time cruisers here. We're looking to book some excursions from local providers on our cruise. It'd be really useful to know how close to the advertised sailing time each day can we get back to the boat?

 

We're not looking to cut it really fine, but it'd be useful to know when trying to arrange off boat activities.

 

We're sailing with Marella.

 

TIA

Thanks, will re-post there

I usually  try to be back onboard 45 mins to 1 hr   prior to the sailing time

Most will have an "all aboard" time posted near the gangway

30 mins is too close IMO
