12:30AM Disembarkation?

[winste]

One of our potential cruise choices on Princess has disembarkation at 12:30AM.

 

Do they still force everybody off a couple hours after Disembarkation even if the next cruise doesn't leave until 8:30PM?

I assume that the port is Whittier. No - they will let you stay on until morning.

 

BTW - you could have called the cruise line and found out your answer.

Thanks Don.

 

You're right, I could have called the cruise line. And you could have ignored my question.

 

I thought the purpose of the board was to ask more experienced cruisers questions. I guess I was mistaken.

You won't be able to get off the ship in Whittier until the tunnel out of town opens in the morning around 6am.

Thanks.

 

Yeah, I see that now. I was hoping to catch a 7:30AM flight out of Anchorage to get home that day instead of next but see that won't be an option now.

 

Oh well.

You probably shouldn't schedule a flight out of Anchorage until 1pm or later. Many of the flights from Anchorage leave in the evening or early morning (i.e. 1am) to allow connections to the east coast.

I answered your question accurately and promptly especially as this experienced cruiser had to figure out what port you were talking about since you did not state it in your post. I also suggested an alternative way of finding out out the information you needed even though I had already answered your question. You posted your question at 2:13 and I answered it at 2:36.

 

Don't know how much more you could have wanted.

I thought you were being snarky. My apologies.

I can't verify the authenticity of this claim, but I've heard that 100% of the luggage has to be off the ship before any passengers can begin exiting the ship. That alone is enough to dictate at least a few hours of labor before the gates could legally be opened for you and the early crowd.

Not saying you're wrong, but that certainly seems like a very odd requirement and if so, most likely some strange procedure and not a legality issue.
