Is there a firm scheduled time to board ship at ports of call

[williluvcruisin]

Can one leave and re-board one's ship freely between arrival and departure while docked at a port of call?

 

Half Moon Cay, not having a port, one travels to the island via a motor boat. Is there a cost to board this boat if I'm not planning an excursion, and is there more than one scheduled return time back to the ship?

 

Thanks in advance.

You are free to go back and forth from the ship to 'land' as often as you like as long as you are onboard at the designated time prior to the ship leaving that port.

 

In Half moon Cay (and other tender ports) you will be transported to and from 'land' on a lifeboat or other smaller vessel.....there is no charge for this and the tenders will run back and forth regularaly. Just remember that later in the day as it comes closer to departure time the tender line may be long and it may take longer to get back to the ship so plan accordingly!

In most ports, you have to be onboard 30 mins. prior to sailaway....if you're on HMC, they will call "last tender"....get on it!

If you're in line for the tender and can't get on the "last' one, they will NOT leave you there...but don't make them wait for you to show up at the tender pier!
