teamflames Posted February 7, 2017 #26 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Normally they offer a service where you pay to stay on for that last day. Can't remember how much but have met plenty of others who have taken up the offer Sent from my iPod touch using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted February 7, 2017 #27 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Once again, this program is not offered in the US and poster who enquired is sailing into Fort Lauderdale. The extended stay program is only offered on certain European sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare villauk Posted February 7, 2017 #28 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Once again, this program is not offered in the US and poster who enquired is sailing into Fort Lauderdale. The extended stay program is only offered on certain European sailings. Correct :D, only in Europe on select sailings. As Jim stated above, it's probably because of the difference in immigration procedures. We've waiting in the queue for over 1.5hrs at FL disembarking :eek:. The Budget car rental store is very close to the port and they offer a shuttle bus. It may be less expensive to rent a car for the day for the family - you can do whatever you wish then. It's easy dropping the car back at the airport too :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Think about when you were waiting to board the ship. Were you not anxious to get on the ship and get your cruise vacation started? How would you have felt if you couldn't board because lots of people didn't get off? IMHO---get off, have a rental waiting, or grab a cab and relax at one of the hotels until it's time to leave for your flight. Good luck and enjoy!

Pier290 Posted February 7, 2017 Author #32 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My question was how late are we able to stay on board to grab breakfast....I know what my options are once we are off the ship. We will stay on board as long as we are able as the new passengers will be able to board regardless of when we get off the ship. I really appreciated the advice about the Ft Lauderdale excursions...but don't appreciate the inferring that implies I'm being greedy or not thinking of new passengers coming aboard just because I asked about what time we had to get off the ship. Unless u have an answer to my original question please myob. Many thx. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app At Port Everglades new passengers will NOT be able to board before every past passenger has exited the ship as the ship must be at zero before new boarding can begin. B2B passengers cannot begin procedure until the zero count. As others have stated: you will be able to get breakfast before 8;00am. When all passengers must leave can vary depending on Customs and Immigration and port conditions. They sometimes rush debarkation because of an Coast Guard inspection. Generally 10:00 am is the latest you can debark from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted February 7, 2017 #35 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Only when out of the US can ther be a mix of new and old passengers on board simultaneously. In the US all the passengers MUST disembark before any new passengers can board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2theship Posted February 7, 2017 #36 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The ship tour that includes the Everglades would be great fun for the family but if you have a really late flight, be aware that you'll be done and at the airport by 1:30 at the latest. I agree with the suggestions of renting a car but I suggest that you be sure to reserve one in advance because the availability at the cruise port location may be limited. Someone mentioned Budget. We've used Thrifty. They have a shuttle that picked us up and took us to the Port Everglades office where we rented a minivan. We spent the day in Ft. Lauderdale then returned it to the airport.

Beanb41 Posted February 8, 2017 #39 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Sorry I have to agree with Pickels. Hanging around on board to suit oneself is being single minded and greedy. One has to be out of ones cabin by 8.00 am and allowed to hang around in public areas to allow for a seeming stress free disembarkation. That is why one is given an option of disembarkation times. Breakfast is available until 8.00 am and then one should be gone by 9.00, if for no other reason than to give the crew time to prepare for the new passengers.

tweetylori Posted February 8, 2017 #41 Share Posted February 8, 2017 We had this same problem (minus the kids) when we arrived in Ft Lauderdale after our TA on Silhouette. We were told we absolutely had to be off by 9:45. I will add that there was nothing to do though after the buffet closed for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
