Early disembarkation

[2dot2dot]

Hello, do you know if we can get an early disembarkation time to catch a train? We would like to take our own suitcases and get off at 7:30 if possible. What do you think?

If you are taking your own suitcases off you will have the earliest debarkation time.  Self assist is pretty much the first group off.  What time that happens depends on when the ship is cleared.  Different ships and different itineraries have different estimated times for debarkation to start.

I would take a look at what time the ship is due to dock.  If the ship docks at 0700, chances of getting off by 0730 are very slim.   There are lot of factors that come into play - where you are docking, what ports you are coming from, how efficient the port authorities are at the port.

we've been on cruises where we were waiting to get off right at the head of the line and we got off in 2 minutes... or 2 hours (there was an issue and they held everyone for over 2 hours)....

 

we've done 17 cruises and i can tell you most of the time it goes smoothly, but we never try to make plans for "tight schedules".   we had one at lauderdale and didn't schedule the 8:45 flight instead scheduled the 11:30 flight...we were sitting at airport at 8... you just never know.

Correct, there are so many factors that can come into play when coming back to port.  Can a smooth connection happen?  Sure, but have backup plans.
