6:00 am arrival

[LindaKE]

I just noticed that the Spirit is scheduled to arrive in Quebec at 6:00 am (cruise Boston to Quebec). I don't know whether that has changed or if it has always been that time and I just assumed arrival at 8:00 as we have always done. Anyway, does that mean we will start disembarking 2 hours earlier than usual? If so, when should we arrange to be picked up? We are thinking about arranging a tour through a company that will pick us up at the dock and give us a tour so our luggage would be with us.

if they re telling you 6am..i see no reason to doubt them..or you can

call NCL and varify debarkation..

 

is this debarkation?..or just a port of call ?..in my experience we usually

debark for a port of call within an hr..

Don't forget to allow time to clear Canada Customs & Immigration.

 

You're entering a new country, so it can be slower than just arriving & disembarking.

 

So things to consider:

a) will the ship be on time at 6a.m.?

 

b) how long until the ship is cleared?

 

c) do you have priority disembarkation?

 

d) will you be doing self-disembark (carry all your own luggage...i.e. none left in the hallway the night before)

 

e) Customs & Immigration

 

I'd suggest that given all of this, you shoot for 9a.m. This will give you LOTS of time to disembark & go through customs...without paying a driver to wait outside for you.

 

LONGER, if you are waiting for a colour to be called, and then finding your luggage on the pier.
