Couple of Harwich questions


Recommended Posts

A couple of Harwich questions:

 

Does Royal Caribbean have its own car park at the port and is it signposted, or is there a general car park for all cruises?

 

When we get back to Harwich (we dock at 4am), what time do we have to be off the ship - is there a cut-off time for getting off? I was just wondering whether there was time for a quick breakfast on the ship (Jewel of the Seas) before we left for home.

 

many thanks

Hi tract0rgirl.

 

I assume you are an ITFC fan as well then ?

 

Good girl :D

The car park is a general one but does have security - it is right next to the ship.

 

You will be given a time to leave - first ones being 7.30 - 'best' staterooms first and so on.

 

You may also have the option to take your own stuff off first at 7 - the good thing about this is that you keep your luggage over night rather than having to put it outside the door by midnight.

Enjoy your cruise on Jewel (I presume!)

 

Harwich is a nice port, car park is literally right next to the ship - on the first cruise we were parked literally abotu 30 metres from the ship, the second time further off, but there are no problems parking.

 

RCI do tend to bundle you off - expect the PA to wake you areound 6/6.30 and start disembarking you.

Of course - hoping to spread some ITFC love across Scandanavia in the next couple of weeks :p

Spreading some Roy Keane love then too? :p On most ships I've been on as others have said they start disembarking at 7..

Cheers

if it is the same as last august

The dock assigns a parking area for each ship just follow the signs on entering the port.

pay a gate or forward pay, there is a free shuttle bus to the ship.

 

You will be off from around 6.00am till 8.30 depending on the colour of your luggage labels.

If you book the car park a shuttle bus will be waiting for you and your luggage will be at the entrance to the car park. in colour order.

If the time is to early ask reception to change it to a later time.

If you are doing the St Petersburg cruise most of the ports are in walking distance of the town. Have a great cruise
