Default All aboard time

If the itinerary say we depart a port at 4:00 what is the very latest that you can reboard the ship?

Probably at around 3:30 PM. They even have a sign at the gangway when you leave the ship to remind you.

It's usually 30 minutes before the ship is to sail. But give yourself more time, to allow for traffic, detours, other delays. We usually try to get back at least an hour before the ship is to set sail. By the 30 minute mark, they're already beginning the process of closing up the ramps, etc., and getting ready to set sail.

Agreed, that's definitely a good idea.

Also, since it isn't always 30 minutes before departure, make sure to check the Princess Patters or the signs outside of disembarkation. They'll have the all aboard time.

Default Don't be late

3:30 should be good, but don't be late, they will not wait for you.
