Overnight in Port - Istanbul

[be4unoit]

I'm on the Getaway next July and we overnight in Istanbul. After the first day do we have to go back onboard or can we stay at a land hotel? We leave at 4pm the next day so there is plenty of time to get back to the ship.

 

I'm considering a room in town to avoid the whole disembarkation process, esp. for those with excursions that day.

i understand, that any time there is an overnight stay, you are free to book a land hotel. just make sure  you get back to the ship in plenty of time

Thank you. I did a quick Google search as well and that was the consensus. I am taking a NCL excursion on Day 1 so I will let them know I won't be returning to the ship at the end of it.

I have done quite a few overnights in various ports (although not Istanbul) and on all of them you just had to be back before all aboard time directly before departure.

We did an overnight in Instanbul about 10 years ago, so not sure if this is still an option, but we did a dinner and show at Orient House with a group from our roll call.  We had a blast, it was a lot of fun.  We  were taken back to the ship afterwards, so we stayed on the ship and not a hotel.
