Finding port times for Cunard?

[edhopper]

We are on a QV cruise in the Adriatic. The times are mostly " Early Morning to Early Evening" with no exact times listed. When I look on CruiseMapper or like sites, there are no times listed for Cunard, the way they are for almost every line. 

We are trying to book some tours and excursions on our own, but without solid port times, we cannot know if these tours will work.

Any suggestions on how we find this out? Perhaps someone who has been on a cruise to places like forfu, Split or Dubrovnik?

Thanks

Unfortunately, while "cruisetimetables" does provide specific port timings for most cruise lines, similar to "cruisemapper" they apparently only provide the same general timings as the Cunard websites themselves for Cunard cruises (e.g. "early morning", "afternoon", "early evening").

 

Several travel agent / cruise booking websites provide the specific port timings in their itineraries but we're not allowed to mention such sites or provide links to them on this forum. However, Cunard's own partner sites for Spain, Austria and Switzerland provide the specific port timings. Based on past precedent, it's OK to mention those sites here.

 

Cunard's partner website for Spain is https://www.cunardcruceros.com/. On that site, locate the cruise you are interested in and then click on the itinerary map. That will provide a detailed itinerary with the specific scheduled arrival and departure times listed for each port.

Google each port authority separately.  Cruise schedules are usually listed.  Look for date and ship.  Times of arrival and departure are usually listed and often the exact berth that can be checked against the port map on the same site. 

 

Remeber that any times are not exact.  They are subject to change especially if the dates are sometime off and are always dependent on such operational things as pilot availability etc.  Also the time will be when the ship arrives in the port not passenger disembarkation time which is after ship / port formalities and clearance.  Nevertheless I have often found such web sites helpful in forward planning.

Thank you all for the informative replies.

We have done that voyage and if I recall the usual all aboard was between 4:30-5:30 

We had a private excursion on Corfu and these guys were totally aware of when the ship was due to sail and had us back in plenty of time. I must say though, we usually book through Cunard for more security. 🙂

On a different note, Greece, don’t trust published public transit schedules. They can change at any notice. Usually strikes are announced but they can happen too. We know from experience and we were almost the dreaded “pier runners”.

And remember Greece is another hour ahead of most of Europe, though on one call at Corfu the Captain wisely chose to ignore it, telling everyone to keep on European time and ignore any public clocks they might see.

Do as bluemarble recommended. Only check the port authority/government sites as they will include all Maritime traffic, not just cruise ships.
