We are sailing on the Ovation from Sint Maarten on Feb. 11. We don't sail until 11:00 pm. While my husband and I are flying in the day before we sail, the other couple we are traveling with don't arrive until 1:00 pm on our departure day.
We would all like to go to the bar by the airport to watch the planes come in after our friends arrive and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that. Should we check in for the cruise, deposit our bags, etc., then leave to go to the bar and return to the ship afterward? That's our inclination but I wanted to make sure we would be allowed to leave the ship on our arrival day after checking in.
I'd love anyone's thoughts on the best way to accomplish this, or to know that our plan won't work for some reason.
Thanks!
