After Ship dock in ports, How Til!!!

[marcyjane]

I was so excited the last cruise, I can't remember about how long it takes before they let you start getting off the ship for tours whether ship tours or just going on your own?

 

I know that they say the ship booked tours get off first, but can you filter in with them or not?

 

Thanks

It's according to how long it takes for the ship to get clearance in each port. The 'norm' would probably be: If the ship docks at 7am, they start letting passengers off around 7:30am. There's no set rule.

 

It seems they DO allow the passengers who have booked Carnival tours to disembark first. You could probably just get behind that group.

 

Personally, I just sit on deck with another cuppa coffee and wait till the 'crowd' goes away. (But then, I don't book tours, so there's never any rush for me.)

I can only speak from experience from our cruise last week on the Pride.

 

When we got to Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan, you were allowed off whether you had a tour or not. The only delay we ever had was in Cabo, where - if you do not have a Carnival-sponsored shore excursion - you have to go to The Starry Night Lounge and get a Tender Sticker.
