Equinox disembarking elite

[Oliver6144]

Elite get disembarking in Tuscan Restaurant  we are doing walk off will they disembark us before everyone in the theater?  What time should we get to the Tuscan?   

[jelayne]

If you are doing walk off they will have a time and location for walk offs, not the same as the debarkation lounge for Elite.  The time and location will be in the debarkation information you will get.

Yes but do they let us off first?   Before the other walk offs?   Trying to get off as early as possible 

[cruisestitch]

No.  Your Captains Club status has no effect on the walk off process. If you want to be off the ship first, you have to be in line first.

Tuscan is where you would go to wait for your number to be called. It’s not for walkoffs.  Don’t go there if you are trying to be the first people off the ship.

No.   Walk Off's form a line and there is no priority.   All walk off's are usually off the ship in 5-10 minutes.   The only priority you have is to go to the CC lounge and they will escort you when ready.   The Disembarkation process works with the following order.   

 

Walk Off's

 

Suites

 

Captain's Club (they may actually use stickers according to when you arrive depending on number of guests)

 

General disembarkation by luggage tag number.

Thank you everyone!

[Oliver6144]

Thank you everyone!   Not sure how all the people and suitcases are gonna work in the theater   We shall see!

[cruisestitch]

You don’t go to the theater —- walkoffs just line up.  If you need to be off the ship first, expect to start lining up as early as 6:30 AM.  There will be staff directing you into the queue.

[Oliver6144]

It said to go to the theater but maybe the line starts outside the theater   I plan on being there by 6:30

[cruisestitch]

assuming they will be using one of the exits to the open deck by the theater you will see where the queue forms

 

you probably won’t go into the theater, you’ll be outside it. Unless, of course, something terrible happens and the whole disembark process is delayed in which case the theater will be where you can sit and wait.

 

are you trying to make an exceptionally early flight?

We’re elite but book early return flights home. For our December 1st cruise on Beyond the walk off location was Eden but when we got there at 6am, others had already begun lining up. Disembarkation started exactly at 7:30am and we were off the ship and in a cab by 7:45am.

The time difference of standing on line at 6:30 as oppose to just getting on the end of the line when Walk Off's are called is maximum of 15 minutes, probably 10.    If that 10 minutes makes a difference definitely get in line.

 

Suites usually begin around 7:15.  

[Oliver6144]

Perfect thanks for all your info!

People start lining up very very early in the morning.   We would go to breakfast at 6:30 and there is already a long line. 
 

I can only advise about Ft Lauderdale and Miami ports.   You will have to go down an escalator and there is a guard standing there.   They will only allow one piece of luggage on the escalator per person.    If you have more you will have use and wait for the very small elevator.   I have seen people take their luggage down the steps.   When you get to the bottom you are not allowed back up.  So you cannot take down one piece and then go back up to get another. 
 

The line to disembark can go very slow as some of the passengers that are in such a hurry to get off don’t have enough sense to have their sea pass card ready.  So they stand there holding up the line while searching for their card.  Plus you have those that are struggling with a lot of luggage as they maneuver thru the checkout and down the narrow ramp.  
 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

You save a matter of minutes, as in less than ~5, by waiting in line at 6:30am versus just waiting until the line clears about 7:15. Half the time if you’re walking along deck 5 crew will have a side door open they will direct you to use too. Then you just have to dodge the confused and dismayed people that walked off at 7am without bags who are shocked to find their bags with tag #30 aren’t available yet.

Surely its:

Walk Offs

Suites

Luggage Tag numbers.

The only other split is where you wait (Elite, Assistance etc ) for your tag number to be called.

When we didn't need Assistance we waited in the Cafe Al Bacio.

With Assistance it's usually Sushi on Five.
