What are the "back on board" times on Princess?

We have booked our 1st Princess cruise for Alaska July 2019, southbound to Vancouver. While reading the trip reports & looking at excursion options I realized I didn't see any posts about when we have to be back on board.

Carnival's "back on board" time was usually 30-45 mins prior to the ship sailing time.

Is Princess the same? Is it different in Alaska vs the Caribbean?

Thanks!

Typically 30 minutes prior to departure.

Keith is correct...almost all cruise lines are 30 minutes prior to scheduled sailing. This is a fleetwide and worldwide Princess policy...not limited or different in Alaska.

True, 30 minutes is typical. However, on most of our recent voyages, in the Princess Patter, they don't mention the sail away time but the "must be back on board time". Then they say "Princess will sail away soon after". More often than not, it is less than 30 minutes after that they sail away, so, earlier than 30 minutes. This happens most of the time, but if someone is late showing up, then a different story. If there are guests who miss the "last on board" call, they usually give them ample time to show up, sometimes quite a bit beyond the vessels anticipated sail away scheduled time.

If they can account for all being on board, sailing before the scheduled time is not a problem in most cases ( it is sometimes a problem in very busy ports, and ports with tough tidal conditions). Other cruise lines do it as well.

Thanks for the info.
