What stays open on disembarkation day?

[skipsaur]

Hello!

 

New to MSC cruiser here.

 

For our disembarkation day, our ship (MSC Bellissima) apparently arrives in port at 3 PM. I've only ever sailed cruises that arrive in port early morning, so usually we just eat breakfast and disembark and go home, there's not much lingering time.

 

Does anyone know what things will be open or closed that last day? Will pools be open?

 

Thank you!

Had 2 cruises on similar circumstances. Ship will operate as usual on these days, though the shops will be closed as well as the casino. Back in the day when physical money accounts were a large share they used to let you to pay in cash for any drink at that day in bars. Not anymore as far as I know. There will be plenty of bars to chose from, the MDR for breakfast and buffet for breakfast and lunch.

Sounds great! Neither shops not casino are big draws for us, we'll just be sure to get our fill before the last day. Good to know there's selection for the final lunch too.

 

Do you remember if pools were open? But I guess keeping our swim stuff out of the luggage might be a hassle. Do you have to vacate your room at a certain time or could you use it up until docking?

As I remember they'll give you a time to leave your cabin later than the usual and store your hand belongings elsewhere if you need.

 

I don't remember about pools sadly, once on those days I used to be inside ship.
