MSC Seaside - Disembarkation

[LynnTTT]

We are on the August 18-25 cruise which is supposed to dock at 7:00 AM in Miami.

We're in a Bella balcony cabin, nothing fancy.

So I know we won't get priority disembarkation time, which isn't important, but we do need to give an estimated arrival time to reserve a car.

Does anyone have an idea what time we can expect to be off the ship, thru customs and ready to catch a shuttle to the car rental site.?

Here is the disembarkation memo from the July 21st sailing:

It's for YC but it might give you some idea for timeline?

Actually this gives me no idea of when a Bella cabin will get off. I know YC people are escorted off early. I really need to hear from a someone in the "cheap seats". Thanks anyway though.

We got off at 8am and there were lots of people disembarking at that time (not in YC).

We carry our luggage and are out in the street by 7:00. The ship arrives way before 7.

When we had our cruise in May, we did Self-Disembarkation because we don't want to miss our flight back home. Seaside was docked before around 6am. We were lined up with the Self-Disembarkation group in Deck 6 around 7am. We were outside of the terminal aroun 7:25am.

 

The schedule is by cabin deck, so if your are in the 'cheap seats' in the higher deck, your schedule to disembark is later (between 10:00am-10:30am).

 

I think 10:30am is the last group to get off the ship. If you are not in a rush, 10:45-11:00am will be the window you can get a shuttle from the terminal to your car rental office.
