Israel

Hello, does anyone have information on how long it takes to get off the ship ( Celebrity Infinity) in Israel if you don't have a ship excursion? Thanks.

I can't answer specific to Israel, but assuming you are docked and not tendering and unless there is something unique to that port from others, typically once the ship is cleared with Customs at a port of call it only takes 15-20 minutes to disembark.  Usually two exit points are used as well, typically one forward and one aft.  Ship based excursions will be prioritized but that does not usually cause any significant delay for others following after.

Thanks, American friend.

Both Ashdod & Haifa are ports where the ship berths (ie no tenders), and we broadly found them no different to most ports elsewhere in the world.

I do recall that Ashdod was a secure port, and we had to take the port's shuttle between ship & port  gate - but that didn't cost much time.

In 0ct 2014 , in Ashod ,it took hours to get off the ship 

I believe the reason was they were look for people , than we all had go though Xray getting off the ship

we did get off until after 10 am , 

there was no problem in Haifa 

we are also on the Infinity in October
