Getting off the ship

[chiburple]

How fast are guests usually allowed off the ship once it's docked? We have an excursion scheduled at 9:30, the ship is supposed to dock at 9am. Also, on our last disembarkation day, we have a flight at 10:45am and the airport is half an hour from the port. The ship docks at 7am. Enough time?

What about embarkation? Do they let you board at the time printed on your seapass?
Thanks,
Marise

Which ship and which port?

Yeah that is going to depend on which ship, which port, and when you are sailing. Disembarkation will also depend on whether you plan to self-disembark (strongly recommend to make your flight), which port, which airport.

 

[chiburple]

Oh, yes I probably should have included that information...Oups. Disembarkation is in Copenhagen on Serenade of the Seas. Yes, I think we will self-disembark. The excursion is in Bergen (no tender).

Denmark. Nice!

Unfortunately I don't have much experience with cruising in Europe so I can't help out with terminal-airport times.

Is the excursion a private one or a Royal Caribbean excursion? In the case of the latter, it's highly likely that they won't start until everyone is present. In the case of the former, contact the provider to make sure they know when the ship is docking and that you have a designated pick up point.

Thanks for your help! It's a private excursion. Do they typically make those of us disembarking on our own wait a long time before we can disembark?

Not really. Cruise-booked excursions get priority, but once the initial bottleneck is cleared (say 5-15 minutes) it's pretty clear.
