Picton New Zealand - Radiance of the Seas

Hi all.

We will be doing the Sept 2018 transpacific and have hired a rental car for the day in Picton so we can check out the wineries and the scenery along the Queen Charlotte Drive. Radiance is schedule to depart at 5pm. Does anyone know what time we will need to be back on board by.

Just trying to work out what time to have the car rental back.

Itinerary says you leave at 17:00, so typical all aboard would be 16:30.

You need to be back on board no later then 30 minutes before departure or 4:30. We visited Picton during our Transpacific and had a fabulous time, but took a Ship tour. I would allow for any delays getting car turned in and shuttle back to ship so I recommend a 4 PM arrival to ship

I would allow at least 1.5 hours prior to departure of the ship. This will take into account returning the rental car and if there is any other hold up.
