Thank you. Sounds like your know the procedure.
I just checked the itinerary and the RT Seattle cruise stops in Victoria at 9 PM on the last night of the return leg to Seattle. The ship leaves 4 hours later and arrives in Seattle at 7 AM. I guess the Victoria stop is only to let CBSA staff aboard to take take care of CBSA formalities. At that point, since passengers would not be disembarking, whether they are cleared to disembark or not, there shouldn't be much of an issue.
On the contrary, if the Victoria stop was scheduled as an 8-12 hour stop with passengers disembarking, not being "cleared to disembark" by CBSA would only result in the passenger remaining aboard the ship during the port call. Is that correct?
Am I missing something?
