No Express Disembarkation

[cdkempton]

Another thought.... When we were waiting to disembark in San Diego one cruise, a couple's name kept being called. It continued for close to an hour. The ship could not be cleared until this couple came forward or could be found. As it ended up, A dining room steward or bus boy finally spotted the couple in the dining room having breakfast and told them they were being paged and they stated "we're having our breakfast and we will go to the pursor's desk when we have finished". Thank you very much. It takes all kinds.

That's a lot of stuff to have to get packed at the end of the 7 day cruise.

Can people in suites have priority NON-disembarkation? We'll be arriving back at our home port -- no flights to catch, just the subway. Can we have a leisurely breakfast, keep using our suites, and just generally relax until some reasonable hour when it isn't crowded and crazy?

[JimVrhovac]

When you get the disembarkment questionare check of the block for traveling by private vehicle and then write across it to put you in last group to get off the ship.

 

That is what we do and it works every time.

 

Everyone is trying to get off early but not us

On Disney we put our luggage out by midnight. Got up the last morning, took our carry-on to breakfast. Then, walked off the ship, picked up our luggage, loaded the car and drove off. No lines, no waiting, no sitting around. When we sailed HAL two years later, disembarkataion was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. It does sound like it has improved. I certainly hope so. We enjoyed our HAL cruise right up until that last morning.

Just don't fill out the disembarkation form and don't get off the ship till you feel like it.

 

Nobody's forcing you to get off first.

I'm with you - I have enough rushing, etc at home.

Zero desire to do the same on my last vacation day.
