Can you disembark without using the app?

[Rog18]

Just wondering whether you have to use the Carnival hub app to disembark, or can you disembark without doing the digital disembark? The carnival help page (https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1369/~/preparing-for-debarkation-day) talks about digital disembarkation and using the app but doesn't mention what to do if you won't have access to the app/WiFi whilst on the cruise.

 

I'd ideally like to disembark using self assist (so carrying own luggage) without using the app but unsure if this is possible?

You don't need to use the app and select a debarkation zone if you're doing self-assist.

Oh they are going to get you of that ship with or without the app!😜

just off the Celebration two weeks ago.  friends and us could not get the debarkation part of the app to work.  we had absolutely no issues debarking the ship with the checked luggage and not having used the app.  we even received the luggage tags in our room two days before as usual.

You do select a time slot for disembarking even as self-assist. On the Mardi Gras a couple weeks ago we did self assist and picked a time slot in the app, but not a single person asked what our slot was, asked for any verification or anything like that. So I can't imagine that it's a must by any means.

Just to add/clarify to this, you do not need to pay for wifi to use The Hub app. The Hub app is free to use on board. Not only does it have your debarkation information, but that's also where your photos are, check in for breakfast & dinner (YTD), The Fun Times, pizza delivery, and many other things that would likely be useful. You don't HAVE to use it, but it makes things much easier.
