NJ Fred Posted January 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Forgive me if this has been covered before. We will leave Epic on Sunday, 24 January when she touches Barcelona. We have a tour booked for that day with a private, non-NCL company. The tour operator recommends we meet outside the terminal at 8:30am. My question is will NCL accommodate us with the necessary debarkation slot - - we are not flying out that day. Also, if we are to timely clear Immigration, Customs, etc., what time slot should we ask NCL for? Thank you for any and all guidance. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobstheboy Posted January 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2016 When we disembarked in December we did it ourselves at 7am and there were many before us. If you can manage your own bags it is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I've always found disembarkation at Barcelona to be very easy. The only problem I've ever had was once getting a taxi, which isn't an issue for you. From leaving the ship to walking out of the thermal is usually just 5-10 minutes. If you carry off your own bags then there is nothing to hold you up. Personally, I'd recommend doing easy walk off and leaving at about 8am. That would probably leave you waiting for your pickup. If you want to use NCLs time slots and give them your bags then maybe go for the 7.30 slot in case there are any delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred As far as I know you don't need to clear immigration/customs, just get off the ship and get your luggage and leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdermott Posted January 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Please remember this is Europe the ship docked at 5am 28th Dec and Disembarkation started at 7am no problems.We don't have immigration officials who have you standing in line for hours seriously you sailed from Europe returning to Europe so no immigration problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2016 As far as I know you don't need to clear immigration/customs, just get off the ship and get your luggage and leave. This is correct. The only things that can really delay you is picking up your bags (if you don't carry them off), and any queues that may develop to get down the walkways if lots of people decide to leave at the same time.
