West Coast Posted December 22, 2005 #29 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I always wondered whether disembark, debark, or disbark was the correct term. Then I saw this in a daily usage tip e-mail I get (yes, I am a total nerd :D): "disembark; debark; disbark. 'Disembark,' the preferred term, is ten times as common in American English print sources as the needless variants 'debark' and 'disbark' combined." So, they're all technically correct, but "disembark" is preferred among American word nerds. :) Anyone know which one Princess uses? Since so many of the crew are not American, I would imagine they might use whatever is the most prevalent in British English? I find "get off" works well.
