All aboard in port

[Bella O]

so if the published time to be in port is 5pm what time do we need to be back on board - 1 hour before? As late as 4:30? My dh and I are remembering different things from past cruises...

It is usually 30 minutes before, but it’s always worth checking the freestyle daily or the times posted at the gangway just to confirm.

All aboard is usually 30 minutes prior to departure time when in port. May vary in tender ports depending on tender location. Always consult your freestyle daily and the signs in the gangway as you leave.

Appreciate your responses! Trying to determine whether we can do a tour, and this really helps.

We are always back one hour before departure. We don't want to see a video on utube with us starring as pier runners. It may be amusing to others but not to those who get left behind. It would be a very expensive late fee.

On an NCL tour, doesn't matter. They'll wait for you. However, a private tour I would not want one that cuts it down to just 30 minutes before departure. We always shoot for at least one hour before departure minimum .

A little misleading. It DOES matter. You cannot simply show up at any time because you were on an NCL excursion. Only if a delay is caused by/on the excursion will they wait. An excursion ending on time and the passenger simply taking liberties to stay in port longer will not have the ship wait.

 

Well......yea. Of course. Guess I didn't say it specifically.
