How late can we stay on the ship on the final day

[Oskial]

Hi all.  We have a late flight out of Ft. Lauderdale to Toronto and would like to know how late we can lounge on the ship before they kick us off.  TIA

[hrhdhd]

Probably around 9 a.m. they will be giving you the hairy eyeball.

I’d look into an excursion, also if it’s more than a few hours, I’d look into day  passes at an airport lounge.

You are to vacate the cabin by 8 and they have everyone off by 9:15 at which point the B2B cruisers are processed.

[PMT51]

The ship will want you off fast.

 

If you are travelling back Air Canada, no use getting to airport more than 3 hours prior to flight time. They will not take your luggage until then. You will have to wait in the terminal pre-security. No lounges there. 

 

If you don't want to do an excursion check into getting a hotel room for the day. A whole lot nicer than the airport.

You'll be getting a knock on your door around 8am if you are still in the room. By 9am they will be gently telling you it's time to go. Check out www.resortpass.com there are decent options near the port for a day room well under $100.

We usually debark between 9:30 and 10:00, and we've never been the last ones off (though we've been close).

Glad to see I am not sailing on any of the ships you are ending your cruises on.  We had a small group of folks who were not expeditious in leaving the ship on our last B2B and it created a delay in us B2B cruisers boarding, which in turned created a ripple effect and a very large crowd waiting to board in the terminal. 

 

We've never been on board beyond 9 AM even when we try to take our time.

When was the last time you disembarked a Celebrity ship PAST 9:30am? When, where, and what ship?

Depends on how good you are at Hide N Seek.  

[horseymike]

There are many nice hotels close to port Everglades.

 and Fort Lauderdale airport .Maybe worth your consideration.

My experience on many B2B's is that last call is between 9:00 and 9:15 AM.    They then zero out the ship so they can begin B2B Processing.     B2B processing usually begin at 9:30.  B2B are back on the Ship between 9:45 - 10:00 at most US ports.

 

In the "Good Old Days" you could remain on the ship late for an additional fee or Free as a Zenith but they discontinued that with Covid and never implemented it again.

By about 9:20 we were getting paged to come to guest relations.  Agree get off by 9am to let them get ready for the next cruise.

[gold1953]

Have fun relaxing ..aka hiding. The B2B cruisers will be at their meeting area so the hold outs will be the only cruisers hanging out. 

Best to leave by 9am . You could rent a car and so somewhere fun for the day with your luggage tucked safely in your trunk

[davekathy]

Cruise is over. Have a nice breakfast and disembark when your number is called. Let the crew get the ship in shape for the B2Bers and the next passengers.

I would love to say 10:45, then watch this thread implode. 😂

It's the hairy eyeball around 9 AM.  It's the cattle prod at 9:30.

 

That assumes the ship is cleared on time.

[Oskial]

Thanks for all the responses.  Looks like we will be leaving the ship at 9:00.  I don't want to be "that guy" and get the crew upset.  Their job is tough enough.

As a back to backer on a ship last week, we (all 360 of us) booed the two a-holes that kept us standing in the terminal for an extended length of time because they wanted to hang out. Old folks were ending up sitting on the floor.

Don’t get booed-get gone!
