Radiance northbound question

[LeeW]

Doing a B2B on Radiance later in summer and taking an excursion during turnaround in Seward.  Operator is advising that we might not get off in time for early tour (tour sails at 8 with checkin at 7).  So can anyone advise us of when they have actually allowed passengers off in Seward?  Thanks much!

I thought en route B2B passengers are the last ones off.  But, it's been a long time since I've done a B2B, and that was a two segment repositioning on Celebrity.

Do you have any status or staying in a GS or above? 

[LeeW]

With any B2B you can always walk off at any time (you have an In-Transit card to get back on without checking in again).  If you want to be the first ones back on the ship you get escorted off after the last departing passengers leave and then back on.  Status doesn't matter.

We were on Radiance Northbound three weeks ago.  We did a private 8-hour excursion from Seward to Anchorage, and the bus departed Seward at 8:00 am.  I simply went to Guest Services, explained the situation, and she gave me #2 departure tags.  We were off the ship at 7:00 and were two of the first people to board the bus.  The Seward "terminal" is just a small warehouse, and they only bring out a few bags at a time.  Smoothest debarkation in 50+ cruises, so you should have no problems.

Just did this a few weeks ago - the B2B passengers were scheduled to meet at 0830 in the theater to check documents/answer health questionnaire/get new sea pass card.  For those passengers wanting to debark earlier, we could go to guest services starting at 0730 where they took care of the whole process.  I was off the ship before 0800 with my new sea pass card and in-transit pass, but I really doubt you could be off at 0700 for your tour check-in.
