Was that the first point of entry into US? They would have had customs and  immigration set up there.

Yes it was the first US entry point with Halifax two days earlier.

Please forgive me if this question is rude, but why do you want to get off early?

 

I'm the kind of passenger that gets on as early as possible on embarkation day, and gets off as late as possible on disembarkation day! I love hearing other people's perspectives though!

Everybody perceives value differently I guess. For me, not having access to my cabin and carrying stuff around at the start and finish of my trip when there are limited activities and few open venues doesn’t factor into the dollars per day equation. Also, if the sailing involves a flight to Europe or other distant destination, I’m going to book us several days or a week land vacation, either before or after the cruise (or both if time allows), so there’s really no hurry to get on or off the ship. YMMV 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow that’s another thing that changed. The casino was smoke free on our 2022 transatlantic and we used to go back to the elevators through it from the Music Hall at the end of the night. It was always pretty empty though. 

Note ... My post was regarding a shorten CA/NE cruise on Liberty, not Anthem.

So sorry… I seem to have lost track of which ship was being discussed 🤦🏻‍♀️

Historically, flights on Thursdays are quite a bit cheaper than those on Fridays. I can understand why some want to save money on airfare.

@Ferry_WatcherHave you ever been working and had a ship overnight in Seattle? Do you know if it was ever arranged with immigration to disembark the first day? Thanks, friend.

We will be returning from a long trip which includes 3 other cruises, and about 3 weeks in Tokyo. Usually I also want to stay on the ship as long a possible, but this time the flight home is so much cheaper on Thursday, and I will be ready to get home.

Wow.
