Rare NMTraveller Posted September 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Suppose that I want to skip the last port or disembark port on the 2nd to last port. Can this be done easily? I would like to board in SouthHampton and disembark in Le Havre (port before last). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted September 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2023 You're supposed to call them before you board and once you board tell your plan to guest services. Usually there's a fee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted September 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2023 You would need to contact Celebrity directly since it is only they who can give you definitive (and legal) parameters. There may be immigration issues involved (in your scenario, you are scheduled to disembark non-EU and you want to disembark in EU). For certain, you will need to remove your own luggage, make arrangements with GS for totaling your onboard account, perhaps with security so they zero you out. Etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted September 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2023 You need approval for a Downline Debarkation. When we did it pre pandemic we went through the Emergency Services Team. There reviewed our request, which they approved and made the necessary notification to the ship and port agent. Cost back then was $65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted September 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2023 You dont need to lie or make things up, you just let Celebrity know prior and again when you board and it can be set up. A number of posters have done this for many reasons, even ‘just want to leave here’. den 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD64 Posted September 9, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2023 It may be an issue because you are talking about two different countries - it is not as if there were two EU countries in the mix - may indeed be a customs issue. And yes, you could leave and not return but 1. This is an inconvenience for the ship trying to locate you and your fellow passengers and 2. It is highly doubtful they will let you remove any luggage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fyi, in case you are looking anything up or writing to anyone, it’s Southampton. Good luck with your plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyj Posted September 10, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2023 @NMTraveller, please be aware, the port of La Havre has been missed because of weather/winds, so have a back up plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeroliGirl Posted September 10, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2023 You also need to be aware that not all ports allow embarkation / disembarkation due to location immigration /customs rules. We once missed our embarkation at Barcelona due to missed flights, and we spent two days chasing the ship as we weren’t allowed to embark in Valencia. Eventually embarked in Ibiza.

I kind of figured that I would need to go through customs if I disembarked early. That is likely the reason for the extra fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be a lot of associated paperwork changes depending upon where you are cruising as you will have been pre-cleared in and out of the Schengen zone for example. With some US cruises it can involve heavy fines as well so may be denied... Edited September 10, 2023 by Mark_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
