Mardi Gras Disembark time?

[cruisegirl1976]

Does anyone know what time you can get off the ship in Port Canaveral, I am planning on carrying my own luggage off, I booked my shuttle for 8:30am, just want to make sure that would be ok.  Thanks..

It's going to depend on arrival time at the pier and then how soon the customs and others are finished.

Assuming the ship gets into the pier around 5:30 or 6 AM as typically, i.e., no delays on return, most self assists are departing between 7:30 and 8AM. Sometimes earlier.

You should be fine. I can't believe they had us all of the ship by 9:45 when i sailed 2 months ago. They moved 5,000 people quickly

I've cruised MG 4 times and debarking has been the fastest I've ever seen, even having to grab my bag in the terminal and sit on my shuttle until it filled.  Average arrival at MCO was around 9-9:30ish and I was able to change to an earlier flight.

They were giving us "final, final" to get off the ship around 9:15 in early June, and that sailing was at capacity.  MG and Port Canaveral definitely have it figured out.

Same in May on b2b's so agree completely with what you're saying. Anyone wanting to stay as late as 9:30 would be hard pressed and TBH you'd be hampering operations.

Thanks for all the responses.
