Which day is embarkation?

[rhsjr]

Starting to plan a 12 day cruise and wondered which day is which. The itent says overnight in Venice, thus:

Day 1 Venice

Day 2 Venice departure 8 AM

 

Question, since embarkation is Sunday, Sept 13 is day 1 really Sept. 12th?:confused:

Embarkation day (the day passengers board the ship) is day 1. The ship overnights on embarkation day and day 2 is the day the ships departs. Hope this help.

Embarkation is the day you board the ship. In this case it is day 1. The ship will remain docked in Venice overnight and sail on Day 2. While the ship is docked in Venice, you can get off and on the ship any time you want.

Yep, both are correct and we did a similar voyage a couple of years ago.

 

Rule of thumb - when you board the ship you are embarking on the voyage of your life - hopefully!

 

Enjoy the extra time in Venice. Do plan on just wandering around and don't worry about getting lost - it's the best way to see stuff you normally wouldn't see. It's one city we plan to go back to again as soon as possible.

The issue becomes a little tricky if one wants to check-in and "board" the ship on day 2 because the Immigration Staff and check-in personnel may not be there on day 2. If that is the intent, it is best to let know Princess ahead of time.

Yes it could be either day. ;)
