DCP Posted December 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 15, 2013 They are now making non us citizens check into customs as a group on board so it doesn't hold everyone else up. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk They have done that on all 4 of my cruises? They usually tell non us citzens to meet in a theater around. 630 7am had they stopped this?

Sir_Randy Posted December 15, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sounding good! Waiting to see updates from those boarding today, cross our fingers. If they have this figured out, I will have to find something else to keep me busy on Sundays along with football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk :confused: :confused: They've always done this. Are you saying non-US citizens have to wait for everyone else to get off? As a non-US citizen we had to all meet early in the morning with customs agents pre-disembarkation. They checked all our documents, stamped us and then when disembarkation started, we went through like everyone else. Are you now saying there is something new?

Carbon Blob Posted December 15, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Just got off the Dawn this morning. Easiest disembark ever. Was off the ship before I knew it, walked quickly to customs. Customs looked our passports for 3 seconds. Cruise was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go back to being there at 11:30 and enjoy a peaceful lunch and DOD on board in February. Just checked the web cam, and it looks like peeps walking around the deck pulling luggage, sweet!

mc_reeve Posted December 15, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 15, 2013 To the best of my knowledge the Dawn dropped off passengers who were on a Coz to Coz cruise that left December 6, but did not pick any up. So the Tampa situation today may not be the Tampa situation in January when they start the Virgin-sponsored cruises from Cozumel again. Check replies to the "Live from the Dawn" thread where someone was told by NCL that there were no more cruises with pick-ups in Cozumel (incorrect) or the Virgin Cruise Holidays website. There is a posting in the "Live from" thread showing the schedule - the next Cozumel origination cruise is scheduled to start January10 or you can find the same information on the Virgin Holiday site. Unfortunately, we won't know if the problems have been solved until at least January 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkylok6 Posted December 15, 2013 #19 Share Posted December 15, 2013 From what I understand no passengers were picked up in Cozumel this week. Could this be the difference? I am hoping the situation has been figured out, but I won't believe it until the next cruise that picks up passengers in Cozumel in a few weeks.

houseflipper48 Posted December 15, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Just boarded the Dawn. From the time we parked the car to the time we were on the ship. ... less than 20 minutes. Very quick check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-T210R using Forums mobile app That's my understanding as well. But it does narrow the issue down to either this was actually caused by the 2nd pick up and drop off or that NCL finally worked things out with the powers that be. Either way hopefully between now and the next Cozumel pick up, NCL has worked out whatever issues that caused these delays in the first place.

Sent from my SM-T210R using Forums mobile app I am with you - I am not much of a follower of these boards for friendly visiting but do like to use them for advice. I went over the 1/5 and 1/12 Roll-Call boards and posted a request for them to let us all know how their boarding and debarkation processes go. We won't really know if the problems are fixed until at least 1/12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourianluvscruising Posted December 15, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We didn't pick up anyone in Cozumel. So, it was a closed loop cruise. Off the ship very quickly. No issues. When we left Tampa we were late leaving because of the open loop and we had refueling issues. Lost our spot in line out of port so had to wait until sevenish to leave.
