Leaving the ship overnight midcruise

We are planning an overnight excursion, skipping one night onboard during our cruise. Does anyone know if this will be a problem? Of course we will make the ship aware that we will no be rejoining the cruise for that night so they don't look for us or hold things up.

No problem!! In February while on the Silver Cloud, we had two days in Port Richards during a cruise along the South Africa coast. We were doing an overnight, private tour/safari and spending that evening off the ship in middle of one of their nearby National Parks. Things worked fine and the ship staff are used to such "creative" scheduling by their passengers. Of course, we made the staff aware in advance of our plans/schedule.

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

AFRICA?!!?: Lots of interesting and dramatic pictures can be seen from my latest live/blog at:

We often jump ship for a day or 2. Take your passport. Have the phone # of the Guest Relations Manager. Also be sure (s)he has your mobile # so you can be contacted. Enjoy!

It might be a problem if you're thinking of leaving the ship in one US port and rejoining it in another one.
