when can u leave ship in port...

Sailing on Sensation April 6th. Itinerary states we arrive in Nassau at 7 am. How soon can we leave the ship? Am looking at an excursion (non-Carnival) that states it picks up at 8:15 am at the cruise ships. Is this cutting it too close? There is also an afternoon time but that kinda breaks up the day.

Once the ship has tied up at the pier, passengers can disembark. The first off the ship will probably be by 7:30 but definitely by 8:00, unless the ship was delayed in arrival. You should have no trouble meeting your tour guide on the pier at 8:15. The tour people probably give this time because they know it works...after all, it is their business.

One of the things you miss (not that big of a deal) - but when you leave the ship they usually have a photo op......If you leave the ship early you might miss this - we missed it at St. Maarten.
