Bar Harbor Whale Watching - I won't miss the boat....right?

Cruise: RCCL Brilliance - 9-22-13 - 7 Day New England/Canada

Port: Bar Harbor, ME

I have a Whale Watching excursion booked through RCCL during our stop in Bar Harbor, ME. The excursion begins at 1pm and is said to last 3 - 3.5 hours in the description. That puts us back at 4 or 4:30. The ship leaves port at 5pm. I read that the last tender runs 30 minutes before the ship departs. This all seems to be cutting it close. To further complicate matters, my cruise calendar says the excursion runs from 1pm - 5:15pm.:confused:

I don't need to be worried, right? I booked through RCCL so they aren't going to leave without us, right? I emailed the Excursion help desk but got no response.

Any reassurance would be appreciated!

Only 50 days to go!!!!

If you booked through RCCL, don't worry.

Its also possible that they have arrangements for the whale watch to deliver you back to the ship directly.

If the excursion is booked from the cruise line, the cruise ship will be waiting for you.

Thanks and thank you for the warm welcome!

As others have said, any excursion that is booked thru the cruise line, and sponsored by your ship, they have to wait for you before leaving.

If this were a private excursion, I would tell you to forget it, but as it is now, go for it and forget worrying.

Cheers
