Kronkron Posted April 18 #1 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Could you please clarify a question for someone who has never been on a cruise? If the ship will be docked overnight for 24 hours at one of the stops, are we required to return to the ship in the evening, or is it feasible to book a room in the city and return the next day before the ship's departure? Greatly appreciate any advice. Edited April 18 by Kronkron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralfaz1138 Posted April 18 #2 Share Posted April 18 When we stopped in Bali last year we stayed overnight in the city. Basically left the ship at 8am and didn't get back until around 4pm the next day. They don't care as long as you're back before the ship leaves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon81uk Posted April 18 #4 Share Posted April 18 In Ibiza we returned to the ship at 3-4am, the shuttle bus even ran all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious what the transportation setup will be like in Lisbon for the cruise my wife and I are on this year. I don't know that we would want to stay out until 3-4am but still seems like a "late night town". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it depends on the layout of the port and stuff like how walkable it on whether they run a shuttle or not. On VV we’ve had shuttles at Mykonos, Ibiza and Funchal (this isn’t an overnight stop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted April 19 #7 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Whether you are able to re-enter the ship all night long depends on the cruise line, but there is no requirement that you enter until the sail away time the next day. On VV, you are able to come and go as you wish...all night long and all the next day up to "all aboard" time. On other lines, we've experienced policies like "you will not be able to reboard the ship between 3am and 6am."
