First time cruiser here!  What is the procedure when you arrive at your final port?  We arrive at 7am.  How long can you stay on the ship?   Do they serve breakfast?  Lunch?

My family of 7 is taking our first cruise aboard the Enchanted Princess (new ship).  I would like to book a catamaran excursion in Santorini and the Princess excursion cost is $290/pp.  But I am finding really good ones for about $130 if I book myself.  My question --- Santorini is a tender port.  How does that work?  Do those passengers booking excursions with Princess (vs. on your own) get preferential treatment getting off the boat?  I'm concerned with timing. 

If the cruise docks at 7am, how long does it take to be able to get off the ship?  I want to book a 10am tour.

And how much time do you typically leave to get back on the ship at a tender port?

Thank you so much for your help (and any other tips you could offer).
