Vacationdreamer<>< Posted January 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Pardon me if I get terms incorrect. One problem with being an infrequent cruise not loyal to any one line is I get things mixed up. If we want off the ship ASAP in the A.M (Crown Princess) is that called Express Walk-off? Do we take our luggage to early breakfast and then go somewhere specific? (Theater?) Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted January 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yes, they refer the self-assist disembarkation as the Express Walk-off group. You carry off your own luggage and meet at designated time and location listed on Disembarkation sheet form.

Harley0711 Posted January 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Agree with Easyboy = just go to passenger services and talk to them, they will guide you.... If you choose to walk off in that first groups you MUST be able to carry your own luggage, we do it all the time in SF - we are off first and fast, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted January 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You will receive a form about the 2nd or 3rd day of the cruise (seems to get earlier each cruise!) to sign up for Walk-off Disembarkation. You leave your suitcases in your cabin if you're having a very early breakfast. Then go back to your cabin and get your bags and go to your appointed meeting location. They won't make announcements over the loud speaker. You have to be in the right place to know when it's your turn to leave. Or, you can take your bags with you to the dining room for an early breakfast but you might have trouble finding space to store them. Cabins have to be vacated by 8:00am generally speaking. Walk-off is usually way before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted January 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Early walk off usually starts around 7pm and sometimes as early as 6:30. So if you want breakfast you will have to get up early, grab something at the buffet or International Cafe and then go back to your cabin to get your luggage. You can leave the luggage in your cabin because you do not have to exit your cabin until 8am. What we have done is bring something back to the cabin from the buffet the evening before and skip going to an organized breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haboob Posted January 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Make your breakfast early enough, and you can leave your luggage in your stateroom ;^) Last trip on the Ruby, we collected our luggage after breakfast and on our way to the assembly lounge about 15 minutes before the "be there" time, a passing purser staff saw our luggage and said "We've cleared customs, you can head for the gangway now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacationdreamer<>< Posted January 16, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We were off the ship by 7:45 A.M. It was by far the easiest disembarking I have experienced. I still shake my head at how painless it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted January 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Above are all good advice, the various breakfast venues open earlier than normal on disembarkation morning so you can easily eat without hauling your luggage along with you.

Clampram Posted January 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2018 And if you are in certain ports you do have the option of the EZ check for your bags which is very helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
