LoganTheCruiser Posted November 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I understand the new cruise terminal has been under construction since last year. Is it done? Is everything running smoothly now? It says my cruise departs at 11:59pm but the latest embarkation time I saw was 5pm. Does anyone know if it's possible to board later than 5pm? What if my flight is delayed and I can't get there sooner? If I showed up to the port at 9pm and the ship still wasn't going to leave for another 3 hours, would they really just wave at me for 3 hours and then sail away? The customer service rep at NCL I talked to said YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get on a ship if there is no one to transfer your bags, scan your carry-ons, or check you in. Yes, they will just wave at you and sail away.

A good place to get information about the status is over in the Panama Canal Ports of Call Forum, where this is a subject of discussion: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/54-panama-canal/ When is your cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
