Cruising Jedi Posted April 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Quick question...when the ship docks overnight, such as the overnight in Quebec City on the Veendam...is there any type of "curfew" that night? Do they keep the gangway open like all night or do they lock you out, lol?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iflyrc5 Posted April 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Only time may be if it is a tender port and they may stop running them at a certain time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted April 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Only time may be if it is a tender port ...Is an overnight ever done at a tender port? I've never heard of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted April 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Is an overnight ever done at a tender port? I've never heard of one. Fuerte Amador on some Panama Canal cruises (full transit). Beautiful at night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indokiwi Posted April 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Some ports "accidentally" make you have a curfew. I.e. St Petersburg, Russia - the bridges all go up for the midnight river cruises and if you are on the wrong side of it in downtown, you might be stuck until 4am when they come back down. We made this mistake last summer. Had a BEAUTIFUL river cruise but then sat....However, since most people don't do anything in SP without a ship's tour or a special private tour that will cover your visa, this is not usually a problem (we had our own visas). :) But, we have done the overnight in Quebec City on the Eurodam and there was no curfew at all, so you will be fine!

Rare Copper10-8 Posted April 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2013 In the last 8 months, Maasdam has done overnights in Reykjavik, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro and Manaus. The gangway stays open and is manned round the clock until departure. Passengers and crew, when off-duty, are free to come and go as they please. Fuerte Amador is not a true overnighter and pax All Aboard time is usually by midnight in order to get ready to line up for the east-bound entry into the canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted April 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Interesting info, Copper! Another tender port for overnight is Padang Bai, Bali. Bali is definitely on my list, and so is Komodo to see some dragons;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted April 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2013 In any port, the gangway is always available until the ship sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Overnighting is some ports is a wonderful way to enjoy a lovely dinner without being rushed. We have overnighted in several European ports and when we were younger -- sure did enjoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
