What is a safe time to have a limo service pick me up if ship arrive at port at 7:45 am?

Question

I am trying not to incur a waiting charge.

Answer 1

Depends on the port. Are you tendering in? That can take forever.

People with shore excursions get to go first so it also depends on how many people take the shore excursions.

When my ship was at port/on the dock, and all we had to do was walk down the gangplank, it only took me roughly 20 minutes to leave the ship from when I got in line. But when I had to tender in after all the shore excursions it was like an hour and a half.

Plus if the ship is actually arriving at 745 (instead of like 5 in the morning or so), then you have to wait for the crew to do their jobs as well. So you can't expect them to start letting people off til 8.

If it's a tender port--I'd say in between 9 and 930.

Answer 2

Hello,

Even though it says that the ship arrives at 7:45 am, guest usually leaves the ship at around 9:30 or so. There are a few factors that affect how early you can leave the ship. First, since the cruiseline will need to know your flight time, they will categorize the order that guests leave the ship by how early the flights are. The earlier your flight, the early will be able to leave the ship. Keep in mind that you will spend alot of time going through customs and retrieving your luggage in the cargo area.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

If your ship arrives at 7:45 a.m. - you should be off by 8:45 a.m. You will need to let the cruiseline know that you need to have the correct color luggage tags, to get off the ship first.

Answer 4

You will need to allow at least one hour to debark from the ship. If you have to go thru Customs it may take longer. Ask the limo co. what they think.
