Carribean cruise query

Hi, I have been looking at the Caribbean cruise itineries and notice that they dock in port on a Wednesday morning but the flight back to UK isn't until the following morning. Do you stay on the boat until the day of the flight, or do you have to disembark on the Wednesday and find a hotel to stay in overnight?

Having never done a fly cruise before I don't want to find out unexpectedly that we have to find a place to stay overnight. Any help welcome thank you.

I would ring Fred with this query. Their Customer Service staff are very helpful.

If it's fly cruise with Fred, and flights booked with them, we have always stayed on board and been transferred by Fred directly to the airport in time for the flight.

If it's Barbados (not all ports allow it) your luggage is taken from outside your door the night before flight and you don't see it again until you land in Britain.

We flew back from Barbados with them in February. We docked in Barbados at 10.30 in the morning and spent the day there. Gatwick and Manchester flights were the afternoon the next day and we were transferred after having lunch on the ship. It was all fairly stress free.

There was a morning excursion available for those who wanted one, but we just walked into town.

Flights from the Caribbean are always overnight to the UK as the airlines leave the UK in the morning, arriving there in the afternoon (their time). A new crew then fly the planes back in the evening, arriving in the UK the next day, usually about 6am -8am, or similar. Perhaps you are looking at the arrival time/day in the UK rather than the departure time/day from the Caribbean.

As already stated ask Fred for confirmation of that - they may not be able to give times for the following year, but would know if it is the arrival day in UK stated.

Some cruises do spend a day in port before disembarkation, in which case it should have that down on the itinerary as a port day. They sometimes do not get the itineraries correct when first put online, so there could be an error on their website.
