ReeseyB Posted January 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Please can someone tell me what is the typical time that customs clearance starts on disembarkation day. I understand that it may differ from port to port, I'm particularly interested in the port of Mumbai. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted January 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2023 What time are you supposed to arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted January 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It also depends on what time they are ready on the dock to receive you. For us it’s been any time between 7-10 am. This has been the case in US. and European ports. The latest being in Miami in October 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeseyB Posted January 25, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi grandgeezer, mom says, we dock on day 11 of our cruise, we stay onboard in port overnight and then disembark the ship the following day to make our journey home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachosdelux Posted January 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) If you are asking about Mumbai, India, then good luck getting a definitive answer. India's Government is about as dysfunctional as they get. I have traveled to India dozens of times and it can best be described as organized chaos. I would expect it so start once passengers leave the ship, and continue for as long as it takes.....

Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I think it will depend on itinerary. On our cruise a couple years ago Singapore to Abu Dhabi Customs came aboard at Sri Lanka and Face Face processing was done aboard in one of the lounges. Was time consuming as instead of automation they entered evrery details manually in log books. Once we cleared prior to our first port of call we did not have to clear again for the other ports in India. Not sure of your itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you could leave on day 11, even if you wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
