Latest you can leave the ship on debarkation day?

8:00-8:30 is the latest you can leave your stateroom. They will call all ashore around 9:30. And start boarding the next cruise around 10:30. Don't linger in your stateroom, your cruise is over. Let your cabin steward turn the room over for the next guests.

Cabin is usually  between 8:00 and 8:30 though your steward would like you out by  7:30. Last call can be as early as 9:15 or as late as 10:00, it just depends on  how disembarkation is going.

Changeover day is really hectic for the cabin stewards so play your part in helping them by leaving your cabin as soon as you can.  There are plenty of places round the boat to sit and vegetate if you want to leave as late as possible.

It’s one thing about cruising we can’t help wishing were a little different. We would love to sleep in on disembarkation day. But it makes sense that the crew has to get everyone out in order to turn over rooms for the next set of guests who are likely to be boarding by lunchtime. Sometimes we wonder if it wouldn’t be better if both check in and check out took place a little later in the day, similar to resorts on land. But this probably wouldn’t work as long as most ships need to get underway by the late afternoon?

They need to get the cabins ready for the next sailing so 8:30AM is usually last call. They need to get the ship to a zero passenger count so they normally want you off by 10:00AM at the latest. Normally they start the boarding for the next sailing around 11:30AM. Turnaround day is normally the hardest day for all staff and crew, including the senior officers.
