sgvcruiser Posted July 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I'm looking into this short trip for May 9 next year. My question is since the ship does not actually leave until 2 am next day, do they allow "late" embarkation until 7 or 8 pm? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDDY0827 Posted July 31, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Are you on a Royal Class ship (Discovery Princess or Majestic Princess)? If so, your ate departure is to catch low tide so that the ship can clear the Lion's Gate Bridge. I have done this on the Majestic and they kept everyone onboard so that there was no delay in leaving YVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingrob21 Posted July 31, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Thats probably a question for a Princess representative. I would call two or three times to get the correct answer (some newer reps won't know). While they probably will depart later than usual, I wouldn't assume that they will allow boarding too much past the normal 4pm time. Not sure how long the port will stay open for boarding operations.

rj59 Posted August 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The problem won't be Princess, but rather the local port people, particularly security and US Customs, who probably have no interest in waiting until later in the evening for a few people to check in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted August 2, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I’d think it would be normal time embarkation. Even if the ship is scheduled to leave late, I have seen the time changed in Vancouver due to the tides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgvcruiser Posted August 5, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Thank you for all the answers. Just want to figure out how late I can arrive. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
