LB_NJ Posted August 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Looking to plan non-RCL shore excursions and trying to figure out how much time to leave between the docking and our excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHouseFootball Posted August 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It was lightning fast for us. I want to say 15-20 minutes and we were cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted August 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Cruise line excursion attendees and suite guests get off first. Then others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhenry Posted August 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2018 On 8/4 Anthem to Bermuda, was scheduled to dock at 9. Everyone was allowed off ship by 9:30 at latest. I was in a suite, and I don’t think they cared.:p We had a private tour reserved for 10 a.m. and made with absolutely no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Grandeur, the weekend before last, at all ports, if you are in a full suite, you go to the CL around docking, and as soon as the disembarkation is allowed, the Concierge takes everyone down in an elevator he/she has held and right off the ship, no line.

Yes, I get the classes mixed up, but a full suite. Used to be called an RFS. No butler, though;) Maybe I just missed it, I was a little surprised. I remembered feeling special on suites on earlier cruises, clutching those tender tickets and getting off first;p But I get the feeling for Bermuda it would be a five minute difference, so need to feel special.

SRF Posted August 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2018 You must have missed the letter about it. Ours was on the bed the evening before. Not a huge difference, but nice to not have to stand in line. At CocoCay they were checking excursion tickets for the first tenders. And those without early excursions had to wait. Full Suite guests got on even before the excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted August 30, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Got into Bermuda a bit late on our cruise. Attempted to go down the forward stairwell and took 45 minutes to get off once ship cleared. Half of the stairwell was blocked off for tours meeting in the theater. Strongly suggest you use the midship gangway and not the forward if you need to get off quickly, including any ship tours meeting on the dock.
