Port days on a cruise with two embarkation ports

[Cruisinpickle]

Has anyone ever cruised on a ship with two embarkation ports? We are cruising on Symphony in June. We board in Civitaveccia, but the cruise also boards in Barcelona. I am wondering if the people disembarking in Barcelona will affect the time we will be able to get off the ship for our day in port. Anyone have any information?

No effect of the people disembarking, it's not like a US port where they have to have a zero count to start boarding.

Agreed----we've been one several with 2 or 3 embarkation ports and it really doesn't affect your port days.

It is a little odd because there isn't a welcome abroad show or a farewell show, etc and your fellow passengers are not as consistent (this can be hard on kids and teens making friends)---but mostly it works quite well.
