Velvet446 Posted November 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Most of the Princess ships arrive in Whittier at a very early hour (midnight - 3:00 a.m.) How early can one disembark from the ship? We plan to hold our luggage so we don't have to wait for the longshoremen to unload for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARRTrain Posted November 18, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2006 All luggage is off before the passengers. Disembark usually starts around 6:30am for the cruisetour people getting on the trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARRTrain Posted November 19, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I suppose if you had someone to pick up early in the morning you could get off the ship. First tunnel into Whittier is 5:30am and the ship out of Whittier is 6am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted November 19, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2006 You just walk off the ship anytime you choose. Get in line and go. Bear in mind the tunnel schedule if you have to be somewhere early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet446 Posted November 19, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted November 19, 2006 thanks for the replies. If we do want to disembark early, it sounds like we'd better carry our luggage instead of waiting for the longshoremen. Anyone know when they have luggage ready to pick up in the warehouse?

Budget Queen Posted November 20, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2006 As already mentioned, NO ONE is getting off before the luggage is out. Independent travelers are few on Alaska cruises and the luggage area small. :) It will be out before 6am as already posted. But it is a great benefit to pack light and carry off all your own. I've been doing that for several years now. Has allowed me many benefits in early disembarkment with NCL being first off the ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
