I had never heard of the Jones Act or the P.S. Act until the last week or so and I have done much reading since then. I want to make sure we can do what I want to do as explained below before I make travel reservations.
We are doing an Alaskan cruise next May, leaving and returning to Seattle. We have always wanted to go to Victoria. It just so happens when we return Victoria is the last stop prior to Seattle. We plan to leave the ship in Victoria. We are doing all our own travel arrangements. When I booked the cruise with NCL he checked and said no problem but leaving the ship in Victoria is not mentioned on the invoice they sent me. I told them I must have something in writing listing what we plan to do. The ship gets to Victoria at 6PM on Saturday night and leaves Victoria at 11PM getting to Seattle at 8AM on Sunday. We would waste a day traveling from Seattle to Victoria at the end of the cruise. Question: has
anyone ever left the ship prior to the normal return port or done anything
similar to what we are planning? If so do we need to let anyone know other than the ship personnel when we leave and don't plan to return?
Leaving ship before reaching final port?
