One-way Cruise Disembark Port

[Kandtcruisers]

First time Oceania cruiser.  We cruise next Nov 2024 from NYC to Aruba on Insignia.  Since Aruba is the last stop, do we leave the ship early in the morning or do we have use of the ship until the end of the day? Thanks for any information.

Very early in the morning

If you check the itinerary on their website, it shows that Oranjestad, Aruba, is the final port of arrival on Nov. 22, with a disembark time of 8 AM. https://www.oceaniacruises.com/caribbean-cruises/new-york-to-oranjestad-INS241108/?sr=%2Fcruise-finder%23time_frame%3D2024-11%26ship%3DINS%26sort%3Dfeatured%3Adesc%26page%3D1%26pageSize%3D10

 

Sometimes, in some locales (e.g., Tokyo on Insignia this coming March), the ship arrives early on the next-to-last day of the cruise.  Thus, pax have a day in the city before disembarking the next morning.  But I've never seen that in the Caribbean on our half-dozen or so cruises there.

Thank you very much.  We’ll plan accordingly.

Just as an FYI. Aruba's airport regiment can be arduous. Be prepared to stand outside in a long line as many US flights leave about the same time.
