What time to be back onboard at a port please?

We were given a tip one day on board. She suggested to look at the time on the phone in your cabin and set your watches to it while on the ship,we were never late again

In case of emergency, you contact the Port Agent. That is printed for each port in your Daily Cruise Compass. Either take the Compass with you or take a picture of that page on your phone and take your phone with you.

Hi,

 

New to cruising. I am starting to plan my port days and first port day is Nassua and I note it arrives at 07:00 and departs 14:30.

 

What time should I look to leave the ship? I was aiming to get up for breakfast at 07:30 and leave afterwards. Will I likely be waiting a long time to leave the ship? Is it better to get up and ready to leave as soon as you dock?

 

Also what time do I need to be back at the port before the boat leaves? What would happen if I missed the boat? Do they even do a 'head count' to check everyone is

back onboard?

 

Sorry for the silly questions.

 

 

I always get back on board one hour before. Don't do stress. I have photographed my passport and have it on my iPhone. In fact, I photo all of my travel documents.

Thanks so much for the replies!

 

I'll certainly aim to be back on the ship 30-60 minutes prior.

 

Another silly question, do I need to take my passport with me when leaving the ship?

 

We only take our passports with us off ship, if they say we should in the Cruise Compass that we get the night before. If we don't need it that day, we leave it in the safe.

Why are people afraid to carry a passport? I carry mine all the time, and I also carry money, DL, and Credit Cards.

 

I'm not afraid, I'm just lazy. I prefer to carry as little as possible when I get off the ship :)
