what time should our limo be there? - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

I'm trying to arrange limo service after our cruise. We are not leap out of bed at 5 am kind of people. I'm thinking 10:00am. Will that work? Our ship docks at 6:00am. I'd be willing to get off a little earlier or later to avoid huge lines of people. What do you think?

You usually have to vacate your cabin about 8am. Then you will have to wait until your luggage color or number is called. I would say 10 would be a safe bet.

That is another great advantage of Freestyle. You can hang out in your cabin until you decide to get off the ship.

NCL usually starts debarkation about 2 hours after docking. 10:00 should be just fine for your limo service.

Generally, though, you are not allowed in your cabin until noon, right?

It varies. We have been on board at 11:00 and our cabin was available. We have also been on board about noon and our cabin wasn't available until after 1:00.

And the cruises that depart in the evening probably have weird times too.....

I didn't know that. Good info.

I agree. We have usually been ready by 10 so that is a safe bet.

Thanks, PE, on our last NCL cruise, we needed to get Mom to FLL, so we were among the first ones off the ship.
But this time, we don't need to rush, so I'm actually looking to avoid those people who are in a hurry to get off, and maybe leave after the rush.
