bluetiger9192 Posted May 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2010 In the past, when I have cruised (such as in Hawaii), the cruise ship often would get into port 30 minutes to an hour earlier than the published time (I'm only talking about the ports en-route, not the ending and starting ports). Does this happen in Alaska (Juneau, Haines, Ketchikan) as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinfl91 Posted May 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2010 It can but you can't make your plans depending that it will happen. The distances between ports is usually short enough that they "could" get there sooner but the captains usually plan on meeting their scheduled times and don't get any bonuses for getting the ship there sooner. Have a great next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted May 20, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The captains avoid arriving too early due to the schedules of who gets to dock when. Just as they don't depart late. Each takes his turn according to the schedules. No one wants to pay for extra dock fees Time and tides wait for no man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller20074 Posted May 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2010 We arrived early to a couple of the ports. Victoria being one of them. We were not allowed to disembark early though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
