tomhalv Posted August 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2023 We are booked with friends on the Quest for the Buenos Aires to Rio cruise next March. The ship docks in Rio on 3/14 at 08:00 and remains in port for an overnight. We will be able to see a good deal of Rio on an excursion that day. Having lived in Rio for three years over 40 years ago, this will be a real nostalgia trip back down memory lane. Since the best direct flights out to the U.S. for our connections seem to be Delta departing at 09:15, we could either stay over another night in Rio or just get up bright and early on disembarkation day (3/15) to catch the Delta flight. Should we have any concern that Azamara won't accommodate our ability to leave very early for the airport (say, 05:00 or 06:00)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted August 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2023 You need to ask Azamara because in South America the customs rules for when you can disembark with luggage are very strict and subject to last minute change. I don’t think anyone here can give you a definitive answer If it was me and even though Azamara might say provisionally yes, the problem is in South America the local authorities change their mind so often I would rather opt for that extra day and go for the flight the next morning 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhalv Posted August 15, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Thanks for the advice. Those are definitely concerns that are valid. We have had issues years ago going through customs in Rio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted August 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2023 One possibility might be to ask Azamara if it would be possible to disembark late afternoon on the day in Rio, then have an airport hotel that night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlgrlmn Posted September 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 23, 2023 We are on the same sailing and same Delta flight. We are staying at a hotel on the 15th. Too risky for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
