Disembarking at the ports on Oasis

[Jen731]

First of all, a big high five to everyone on these boards. You make my anticipation grow every day by reading your reviews, updates and suggestions.

 

I haven't seen this addressed recently, so can anyone tell me about the process for getting off the ship (Oasis) at the different ports and what sort of wait time to expect? I certainly don't care about being the first one off the ship, so the stops in Nassau and St. Thomas don't worry me, but we are scheduling a tour in St. Marteen and I'm wondering if it takes a while to get off the ship. I can remember some ships we've been on having to stand in line for an hour or more to get off the ship. I know it's a lot of people, so I'm not complaining.

Oasis or Allure off the ship in less than 10 minutes.

Usually doesn't take much time at all. If you get in line early, before they start letting people off, it make take more time. Also, always the possibility of a problem with the immigration officials, and that could hold things up. Normally, doesn't take long at all!

Wow, that is great to hear!! Thanks.

Get on the elevator. Press the "gangway" button. Walk off ship. Have a great day.

Not long at all. Getting back on in Nassau is a pain though.

Just off Oasis January 11th. On and off , easy as can be. No waiting at ports. NONE, amazing

Don't go down until they have announced that the gangway is open.

 

No problems.

 

Easy off.

 

As noted above, there can be delays in re-boarding sometimes, but that's not an Oasis problem. It's a ship problem.

I agree it's become a pain to get back on the ship in Nassau. What happened? We had not been to Nassau for a while and also experienced some long lines. I thought I remembered 2 security station on the pier and there was only 1 in December. Is my memory bad or is this another example of cost cutting?:confused:

Quick side note about Nassau! Last time we were there security was really cracking down on people who were bringing back those big conch shells they sell on the pier. They were confiscating any shells purchased right there at the pier. The only ones they let on board were those that were purchased thru an excursion like ours. We had did the snorkel with the stingrays and any shells we had bought on that beach were fine to bring onboard. Just a heads up for people it will save you money and time!

Not everyone leaves at the same time....so it's really no different from leaving a hotel! When they open the doors, you may begin to leave. If you don't have to be first off, take your time and leave at your leisure!
