Debarkation on X ships?

[39august]

We will be in an aqua cabin on SIL in Dec. Do we have a designated waiting area to debark? Do we get any sort of priority? Next Sept. we will be in a Sky Suite. Same questions, please?

If you want to self disembark you get in the queue by the gangway with your luggage like everyone else. Self disembarkers generally queue up at least 30 - 45 minutes before being allowed off the ship in order for a quick getaway. If you are disembarking normally ie your luggage is collected the night before and you have been allocated a disembarkation time you will be allocated a lounge in which to wait until time for you to go. When you are called aweigh you go and collect your luggage shore side. Apart from being allocated a lounge to wait in it is very much a situation of going ashore at your requested time. YOu will have no greater priority than anyone else. If you wish to get ashore early either self disembark or when you are asked what time you wish to disembark choose the earliest time available

Are you asking if you can go first? That would mean self-disembarking, which is carrying your luggage off yourselves. Those people usually have early flights they are trying to catch, or long drives home, and don't want to walk the terminal looking for their luggage. To self-disembark you must be able to move all your luggage without assistance.

 

Everyone else will go in the order of the luggage tag. If you want an early number, or a late number, you can request it, unless you have transportation booked through the cruise line or you are a member of a group. Then you need to stick with the number they assign you.

 

There will be designated waiting areas for Captain's Club Elites, Concierge Class, and others Suites will wait in Michael's Club. When they call your number, you go.

I am typing this in San Diego while on the Infinity on a turnaround day between B2B legs. We are a suite for both legs. This morning, once the ship was cleared, the Michael's Club concierge escorted groups of disembarking suite passages directly off the ship. He asked that folks with early flights go with him in the first group, followed by those with later flights in subsequent groups. Suite and Zenith passengers have non-numbered disembarkation tags, and the bags are in a separate area. What happened this morning was the same process used on the Solstice last fall when we disembarked in Singapore follwowing another B2B.

Not interested in carrying off luggage. Not particularly interested in getting off first either. JUst wanted to know how X does it. Suites on RCI do get escorted off the ship by the concierge with a designated luggage area and usually are taken to the front of the customs line. That is a nice perk. Sounds like at least some ships on X do the same for suites.
