What is the latest time before they throw you off the ship on Disembarkation

[wilsonwilksmcgee]

Afternoon

on Anthem in July

on Disembarkation day we are in no real rush as we don't have flights back to uk until late at night and don't want to go around NY with luggage

so looking at what the best strategy to fill in the day would be and one option is to

 

is just to stay on board for as long as possible if that's reasonable or allowed ie can you use the facilities, pools, bars, restaurants, or gym or do they close everything down and throw you overboard first thing in the morning

 

any other recommendations on how to fill-in the day welcome looked at the NY tour but we would have already had a week in NY before cruise so not really all that appealing

and lugging around luggage all day shopping is my worse nightmare

 

cheers

After breakfast is over, all facilities are closed. They will be making last call around 9:30am to 10:30am.

Things must be different when cruising from the UK. On my cruise next month I have the option to purchase "an excursion" to stay on board, use the facilities (not the cabin) and have lunch. They keep your luggage so you only have hand luggage with you. I think the cost is £31.

As mentioned above, you'll be kicked off the ship early in the morning. If you're not interested in doing a post cruise tour around NY that drops you off at the airport, you may want to find out about a day room at a hotel near the airport where you can drop your luggage off and unwind before heading to the airport for your evening flight. May cost you a few hundred dollars, but it will save you sitting at the airport with your luggage for hours.

We though late disembarkaction meant we could stay in the room and use some ship facilities. As pointed out, not the case. Before 8:30 we were asked to leave the cabin.

 

Clearing customs and immigration took a lot longer for the late departure members in our group, compared with the early ones. My two daughters and their families left the ship at 7:45 - 8 and took 15 minute to get luggage and clear customs & immigration. We left the ship around 9:30, it took us 45 minutes to clear using mobile passport, and my son & family took 95 minutes using traditional passport & paper docs.

Yes, in the US, the ship must have a zero count of guests from the previous cruise before they can start boarding new guests. Much easier in Europe.

Clarea, it is my understanding that even B2B cruisers have to get off to achieve the zero. Is that correct?

Yes, that is the way it's normally done in the US. Occasionally the CPB agents will come on board and the B2B guests don't have to get off, but that is rare.

Several years ago we sat up by the pool. No one said anything to us and we left around 11 am.

Thanks Tapi this is a very good idea will look into what hotels do day rooms around JFK

Or you can buy an unused airport first class lounge pass for a about $20 off ebay or craigslist and hang out.

Varies, if you post a ship name and itinerary, there may be an "As You Depart" letter posted. Generally, breakfast closes earlier on disembarkation day than other days.

I never knew about that. Guess it makes sense, people sell everything. That's something I'll have to store in the back of my head for long layovers.

buying extended stay is only available in Europe (and I'm not sure if it's available on all ships). Since you're in the US, you don't have this option. They try to have everyone off by 9 am. Crew have a lot to do to turn around a ship for the next voyage. You can kill the most time by purchasing an excursion with airport drop off then see if you can buy a day pass into your air carrier's VIP Lounge. Or just get a hotel room, day rate, which will be expensive.

6 am - 8 am

and as you said that was several years ago...things have changed, you can't do that now

If you're looking at a post cruise excursion in all likelihood you won't be able to book in on the cruise planner, but will have to wait until you're on the ship. Not sure if you can call RC and find out about it/ request it that way.

I havent used it, but there is luggage storage in NYC

If you don't get off by about 9:30-10. they will start calling your name over the pa and will start looking for you. Once the last person leaves. The b2b guests will then be escorted to customs and back. Once that is done. They have the zero count needed to start boarding. .if a person stays behind too long it will be delayed . Newark airport had no luggage storage . If you take the train to penn station in New York there are luggage storage facilities there. When arriving ask a Amtrak employee where it is located. Schwartz luggage is also a few block alway. The one in the station is run by Amtrak

Good suggestion! Worth a try.

[Bobal]

When we were in this situation we booked a day room close to the Mall at Jersey Gardens and did some great shopping just before we flew home. If you google it and look on google maps you will see there are a number of hotels just over the road from the mall. I would suggest emailing them and asking if they have a day room rate. Whenever we book a day room in the US it usually costs around $90.

Honestly from what you have said, you have no options. They don't throw you off the ship, but out of common courtesy you should be and RCL will have you off the ship by 10:00am, hopefully before that. The next cruisers want to get onto the ship just as you did the first day.
