Port Back Onboard Time ? Embarkation day latest onboard time ?

[angela12345]

On port days, what is the back onboard time for Virgin ?  An hour before port time ends, a half hour before ?  i.e. let's say we leave Key West at 5pm, what time would we have to be back onboard by ?  Same question but for embarkation day, what's the latest time we could arrive/get onboard ?

It varies with the port as to when "all aboard" time is.  It will be noted on the app and on the high tech message boards and in the elevators.  The latest arrival time at Miami was 5pm.

In general (and it can vary somewhat), at port stops all aboard time will be about 1/2 hr before scheduled departure and for the embarkation port that is usally about 90 minutes before departure.

Absolutely correct, but do check the schedule (app or paper...or elevator and signs by Razzle Dazzle, etc) to be sure.  It does change slightly.  And do not rely on what the app or schedule said months before your cruise--those time change a often.
