Freecall Posted July 3, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 3, 2013 P&O are usually 30 mins before departure although on our last 2 cruises it seemed to have been reduced to 15 mins. Not sure if this is policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnoutbabe Posted July 13, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I never noticed them telling us the sailaway time, it was always "back on ship" time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio41 Posted July 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Before it sails. :p They always give you a time to be back on board both in the Horizon and a board as you disembark. The sailing time after that can be varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsta Posted July 22, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Allow yourself at least 30-60 minutes leeway when aiming to be back on board. Things can easily happen to delay you and you really don't want to be running along the dock trying to get back on board as everyone leans over the railings and jeers at you! Yes, I am speaking from experience and I am never going to let my husband forget it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it could have been worse - the ship could have been a few feet out from the dockside and the horn sounding ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzaw Posted July 23, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Reading the Op -- I am assuming that they are considering a privately organised shore tour, and hence the question re boarding times?? Personally, I would want to be back on the wharf, looking at the ship, one hour before the departure time. However - the departure time will not necessarily be that which you think it will be when you book the cruise . You will really only know this time on the day of the port visit. This is what makes private tours just a little bit "dodgy" :) Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
