dock at 9:30; how soon can I be off DCL?

[let's-go!]

WE dock in St Lucia at 9:30 am. I'd liketo take Frank's tour and also cruise to the Titons. However, I need a time frame. (we re-board at 6:15). How soon can we be off the ship to start our sight-seeing?

It's really hard to say specifically. Many factors can influence a docking time and the time passengers are allowed to disembark.

If St. Lucia is a tender port, then those with DISNEY-booked shore excursions will get preference; others will have to get tender tickets and wait their turn.

I would look at the shore excursions DCL offers for this port and would not book any independent excursion earlier than at least 30 minutes LATER than the earliest excursion time listed on the DCL excursion list, just to be sure.

It's a nominal wait time. It really is. And the island is simply wonderful, beautiful and worth the wait!

I did book Frank, and he recommended getting us at noon. Therefore, we really can't do both. We decided to shop in the morning. Thank you.
