Formerly known as Seabee Posted November 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Onward sails at 6:00 PM. Would we be able to check in or at least drop bags prior to noon? If so we would do that and then explore MC that afternoon. We are staying in Nice a few days so do have the option of visiting MC on the day before the sail date but it would be logistically easier to do so on the day of. Thanks.

combine Posted November 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2023 We embarked at Monaco in April . Dropped our bags which were tagged for cabins and we were then directed through the buildings to the ship. Check in was carried out in Cabaret Lounge. We were not allowed off after this. 😢 so if you thinking of dropping bags and wandering you’ll need to buck the system, which may or may not be possible. The port area was not very pedestrian friendly where we checked in , we only saw taxis drop people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s disappointing to hear as we are embarking in Monaco on 6th July 24 and we were intending to have a walk around Monaco after lunch. We have embarked on previous Azamara cruises and been allowed off the ship to walk around the port of embarkation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much depends on the port authorities I can name several where once you’re on you’re on. The position changes each year so I would leave it until around May 2024 and clarify directly with Azamara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did get chance to walk around the port of Nice after embarking. I note on my booking Pursuit doesn’t leave Monaco until 9.30pm and the cruise description says: Edited November 14, 2023 by HalifaxYorksCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishlee Posted November 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2023 We joined an Azamara cruise from Monaco in April this year. We were allowed ashore as soon as we'd done the usual check-in procedures etc. That was when they were doing 'individual' lifeboat drills so it may have changed since then (not sure how lifeboat drill is being handles now). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following this as we'd like to do something similar... drop off bags, check- in then head into town until prior to the late departure. The overnight in Villefrance would also allow some time in Monaco as it's short train ride if we're indeed not permitted to leave the ship.
