wow, those were quick answers, thank you all!

As a first time cruiser, I naturally filled up every port day with an excursion, but there are some ports where I'd like to walk around and get to know too. Once my excursion is over, usually around 1pm, do I have to get back on the boat (Royal Caribbean) or do I have the option to stay in the port city until final boarding time (usually 6PM)? If I can stay in the port, does that hold true for tendered dockings too? If I have to board and hang around on the boat for 6 hours, I'll likely cancel the excursions. Thank you
