More specific timings.......

Does anybody know how to find out more specific port arrival and departure times relating to a specific cruise?

The cruise personaliser only states 'early morning/early evening/evening', and no doubt P&O would just refer me back to my cruise agent who is unable to help on this occasion - no problems with Cunard or Princess with this though!.

We are wanting to arrange private tours rather than ships tours on our upcoming cruise in January on Britannia sailing from Barbados on the 20th January.

Help would be much appreciated - thanks..........

The most accurate, if rather laborious way, is to look at the websites for your individual ports, although depending how far in advance you are looking the information may not be there months in advance. I should think with Jan. 18 you would be OK, though.

This website also gives info. as used by ship's crews: http://crew-center.com/bridgetown-barbados-cruise-ship-schedule-2017

Unfortunately 2018 dates are not up yet.

Cruise.cal gives the following times: http://www.cruisecal.com/portal/ItineraryPrint/tabid/2919/Default.aspx?sailID=CarnUK/B802

They're not there for all the ports, but quite a few are.

We found these to be pretty accurate on our Caribbean cruise 2 years ago. As it also shows which other ships will be in port, it's a good way to gauge what demand there will be for taxis/water buses and how busy the port area will be.

You should be able to use the Cruise.cal times as a starting point for booking your excursions. The reputable operators tend to check ship port times anyway and work their excursions around them so you are back in port in plenty of time.

Hope this helps and happy excursion hunting!

We always use cruisecal.com who are usually pretty accurate....click on the itineraries tab and then put the ships name in the box and then view the appropriate date.......

Thanks for the advice..........

I have done that but the times are all the same and the itinerary not amended yet!

Woe is us!!
