Rare Jeter02 Posted January 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2023 does anyone know what time the Discovery Princess starts It's disembarkcation with walk offs in San Pedro, (assuming that's where the discovery princess is out of)? Is a 11:40am Departure From LAX on Disembark Day Practical with LA traffic? Or am I cutting it too close for my flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jeter02 Posted January 27, 2023 Author #2 Share Posted January 27, 2023 And if someone can refresh my memory what time breakfast in the MDR begins on disembark that would be great. You would think I have this memorized by now with constantly being onboard, but I'm drawing a slight blank. Is it at 6:00 or 6:30 a.m.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bronzey214 Posted January 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We're in the same boat. (Well, not literally. I'm on the Crown in March) Princess says 12:30, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted January 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Done this many times with flight after 12:30. Would not try it before 12:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knbcruisers Posted January 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Check the west coast departures forum, there is an excellent thread on this detailing the timeline you need to make that flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynsac Posted January 27, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I have done it many times. We do the early walk off option and usually just grab a quick bite and coffee from the International Cafe area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulagirl Posted January 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We disembarked the Discovery Princess on Jan 7 (Saturday) and did the walk off. We were off the ship starting right about 7:20. Our flight was at 11:20 AM flight out of LAX and made it with plenty of time to spare. Had a car scheduled to pick us up at 7:45 and we were at the airport by 8:30. I was a little concerned about making the flight since Delta kept changing the time on us. But so glad they did and we didn't have to wait until 2:00 which was our original flight time. LAX at the Delta counter was a madhouse. We had first class tickets so checking in our luggage was a bit quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted January 27, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It just depends on when the ship is cleared for disembarkation. Traffic can be a pain on weekdays. I usually use noon as a time frame for flying. On some occasions I will just overnight and fly early the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ldtr Posted January 27, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 27, 2023 San Pedro disembarkations have been moving pretty quickly with the Discovery. San Pedro uses CBP facial recognition so it goes very quickly. On our last cruise we were not in the walk off group (were in first independent travel at 7:40). An 11:30 flight should be doable, but keep in mind that a lot of things could go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also want to kown there is another flight option avaliable that day incase there are issues and you do t make the 1130 flight. I hate having to hang around the airport and watch earlier flights board that I didn't take because of the recommended time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellingnana Posted January 27, 2023 #19 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I’m returning to San Pedro in mid April. If I look at EZ Air, the earliest flight I can book is 11:45….so that makes me think 11:30 would work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare roxievegas Posted January 27, 2023 #20 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The problem is not getting off the ship or getting to LAX as much as the ship being cleared by customs. We have had a delay where no one was allowed off the ship until 9:00a - by then you are running into rush hour traffic (LA traffic is rush hour all day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing can be delayed significantly if the ship is doing a one way from an overseas port and then ending in San Pedro. That has caused problems in the past.

VibeGuy Posted January 27, 2023 #22 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The absolute last-offs on Discovery for the last three sailings have been 9:20 and they’ve been hunting them down - the last group call has been more like 8:40. So I would have zero hesitation booking an 11:40 domestic departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have down 5 cruises in the past four month out of San Pedro. All disembarkations have run on time if not faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
