B2B Koninsgdam - Port Everglades

[jeda4137]

Will depart from Ft. Lauderdale and return in 10 or so days and then start the next 10 day  or so (B2B), we understand it is necessary to get off ship and clear customs/immigration even though we will be carrying on the same cruise. Is this still a requirement? If yes- how long of a procedure is this.  Are there separate lines for guests returning to the ship later in the day to continue on their cruise, or is it one massive line up with people leaving the ship at the end of their cruise ? I understand only excursion guests will be allowed off first.  Will this work if it is a private excursion and not a ship one?  How bad is the last day of the cruise and how long should one allow to clear customs/immigration?  I guess it depends on how many ships in port.  Will be Sunday so may be bad.  Have heard it could be 2 to 3 hours. 

Understand we are allowed 1 bottle of wine each without corkage being charged on  embarkation day.  Should really be 2 bottles as it is  really 2 cruises B2B.  I don t suppose they allow another bottle on the second leg of the cruise.  Thank you for your help!
