On my Dec cruise out of Miami -- they wanted us out of the room by 8am.  Off the ship?  not sure about that but I would rather get off early than to go through the maze of people (even though the butler will escort you) and then trying to get an UBer with everyone else later in the morning.

 On board the 'last call' for everyone to leave the ship was announced at 10:45 am. Boarding not till the ship rounds up all the "zeros" (those that have late flights and hide out on the ship). B2Bers will not be 'processed' (facial recognition) and allowed back on the ship until the "zeros" have been found and processed. Once the B2Bers are led back on they are followed by Yacht Clubbers and then everyone else in the terminal. This began around 11:30. We were B2B (about 100 of us) waiting in line to be processed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when a butler pointed out the "zeros" that were taking their 'sweet time' collecting the last of the remaining luggage and strolling over to the facial recognition machines. Always get this bunch of 'losers' every cruise.

There is always a small group of inconsiderate passengers that have late flights or just no place to go after the cruise has ended. They dilly-dally and hold up the ship from "clearing" for the next cruise group to embark. These "losers" are called "Zeros". They are the stragglers that sometimes hide out and often the sheriff''s office is called in to escort them off the ship.

P.S. Present company excepted.

haha wasn't planning on hiding out or dilly-dallying, just leaving at a reasonable time, being honest I couldn't really see it would be any later than 9.30-10.00. After looking online though we might head over to the Dolphin Mall for a few hours which opens at 10am and is near the airport.
