schmoopie17 Posted June 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2023 We've never been on a cruise where the ship stays overnight in a port and doesn't leave until the following evening. That will be happening on our cruise when the Escape arrives at Livorno at 6:30am Sunday and doesn't leave until 7:00pm Monday. So...on Sunday, is there a "curfew" time when everyone has to be back on the ship the first night? Or can you come and go at all hours? When growing up, the local TV stations would say. "It's 11:00...do you know where your children are?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted June 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2023 typically, there is no curfew and you are free to come and go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashkay16 Posted June 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Did this last year in Bermuda and will be doing again this July in Bermuda . No curfew for overnights . Of course always double check when on the ship . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ziggyuk Posted June 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2023 You don't even need to return to the ship, you get to stay out all night 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 10:00 when I grew up, so maybe I'm older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted June 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) or you’re from the midwest, OMAHA bob, where, typically, the local news begins at 10 pm. these announcements would often run just before the local news.

MeHeartCruising Posted June 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) There is usually no curfew. In fact, it's common for people to spend that night in a hotel in the city rather than spending time going back and forth to/from the ship. Since Livorno is quite a distance from Florence, you might consider doing this if you wish to have more time exploring Florence itself.

Or, more likely they thought it best if those hellions from the mid-west were home earlier 😉 Actually, it was 10:00 as I remember it too and I'm on the east coast.

I'm not from the midwest. I'm a military brat who also had a military career, so my identity isn't really tied to one area, though my childhood was mostly in the south. The username is a holdover from years ago. But yeah, right before the local news, on all two channels. Edited June 21, 2023 by omahabob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
