You are way off the topic that is being discussed; but if you never get on a cruise ship, then you will definitely never be late returning and get left behind. I have been on several cruises; but when it comes to being left behind for not returning on time, it’s not about good luck, it’s about using common sense and following the ship’s rules.

Wait. You’re on a cruise ship, where exactly do you need for that cruise ship to be that it absolutely must leave right on time? What is your delay? You’re still going to get to the next port of call, you’re still going to be able to make your dinner time, your stateroom is still ready for you. The only operation that isn’t running at the port is the casino, and if you need to get to the casino THAT BADLY, you’ve got bigger problems than passengers being late 😂

I was on a cruise once where the departure time was extended due to a passenger being injured on an excursion to Dunns River Falls in Jamaica. Always book your excursions through your cruise ship and you’ll be covered. When people book independently they sometimes run into problems.

[@winh998]

Sure do. Several of us were on an excursion we booked ourselves right off the ship. On the return to the ship, the bus broke down. We were about 5 miles from the port and had about 45 minutes before the ship sailed. The owner did not answer his phone and we all panicked, including the driver. A couple of the guys got off the bus and went to take a look and found something was loose or broken but somehow they got it fixed. We made it back with 5 minutes to spare. Good ole American know-how, can't beat it, even in another country.

[@youngsamty1351]

Fly home

[@paulras01]

​@@winh998If you broke down 45 minutes before it sails, that means you were only 15 minutes before the all-aboard time and still had 5 miles to go. Never book a 3rd party excursion that close. Always book something that's back an hour before all-aboard, not back at that time.

[@winh998]

@@paulras01 Our ETA was one hour before sailing which gave us plenty of time but when we (tourists) realized we were broken down it was about 45 minutes away. Five miles is less than 5 minutes so although we were worried, we did not panic. Please keep your advice. I have been cruising (pre-pandemic) for over 10 years and have booked ship excursions and private excursions. A lot depends on the ports of call as to whether I book a private or ship excursion.

[@shacur145]

The announcements and time to come back are VERY CLEARLY RELAYED TO EVERYONE. Make sure someone in your group has the correct time!

[@southerngent716]

I have sailed with Carnival multiple times and I have two more booked for next year. Carnival makes it very clear about what time you are expected back at the ship at every port. They tell you to make sure that you are on the ship's time and not the island's time. Most of the time if someone is missing they wait a short time after the sailing time but they will not wait long. If you are late because of the excursion that you booked through Carnival then they will wait until you return but if you are late because of an excursion you booked on your own then they will not wait. YOU are responsible for getting back to the ship on time. YOU WILL be responsible for getting to the next port or back to the home port. Stop with the entitlement mentality.

[@hiddencurls]

Yes they do constantly remind you to be on Ship’s time. I just came back from an 8 day Carnival Cruise on the Celebration. I agree, you have to be on time.

[@stecar9122003]

This is something that I found online about circumstances of when a cruise ship will leave the port: Generally, ships wait as long as they possibly can for passengers to return, but it also depends on how tight the schedule is, the mood of the officers in charge and whether port officials allow the ship to stay docked for a longer period of time. As you see it's not always up to the cruise line as to when they have to leave.

[@sophiamitchell907]

Good to know.

[@purpledancerbmw5279]

And dig this....usually two or three ships are tool ng out together if you look left or right in the distance you'll see the same ships different companies. Think about hst is why when at a resort they tell you don't go in town say Wed because the cruise ships are in! So they are holding up I her ships.

[@CambryBlaze]

Like so many others have said. All cruiselines are VERY clear about the time you need to be back and that they will leave you. They have to leave you. They have a schedule to keep.

[@myradawnn]

We were on a Carnival excursion in Hawaii. Our guide driving our tourist van ran into a retaining wall, wrecking the left front tire and quarter panel. They had to call for another bus to get us…. Luckily this was a carnival excursion, so the ship had to wait for us. When we finally got back to the dock, People were jeering at us, not knowing we had just been in a car accident. They ended up refunding us for the entire excursion, and sent the typical chocolate covered strawberries. The driver actually told the cruise line we got a flat tire. It was a little more than a flat tire…and I showed the customer service agent the picture of the wrecked van. Craziness.

[@crashHypnotize]

Great job having evidence.

[@caddothegreat]

Our first cruise was with Carnival with a group of friends. We went to Montego Bay. I booked with Carnival a trip to Appleton estate. Going up into the mountains. the van had trouble. The tour op sent another for us. We did Appleton tour. It was great. Just as we were supposed to leave. A big thunderstorm came up. Had to wait at Appleton for maybe an hour. While there we had "free drinks". We left and the roads were full of downed trees. I helped clear the roads. We got back to ship at least an hour late. The van driver pulled us up at the gangway. The ship was already loose. Only holding via thrusters. We got hee hawed by all the passengers on that side. As soon as we crossed that gangway. The crew yanked it it. Glad we had that one booked via Carnival.

I'm experiencing flashbacks. Something similar happened to me and 2 family members 20 years ago. Only it wasn't a ship. It was a sightseeing bus tour in Long Island. We stopped to pick strawberries and we got the time to be back on the bus mixed up. So we were left. But thankfully we were near a train station. So we just took the train back home. This was a good lesson learned. We went on many more trips after that. We just made sure we wrote down the times to be back. We were never left again.

The captain cannot wait. It is not his choice

Exception. If an excursion is booked through the cruise line and it returns late, the captain will wait. Lesson is, book through the cruise line and pay the extra cost versus booking it directly through the excursion company if you don't want to take that chance.

I have never had to run a pier because, even during my first cruise, I read ALL the instructions, the cruise contract, and watched countless videos on cruising. *There is really no excuse to be late.* My advice to any newbies would be to never, ever book an excursion outside of the cruise lines. Keep your phone in airplane mode so that it matches the ship's time. Set multiple alarms on your phone to remind you when there's 3 hours, 2 hours, and 1 hour before the cruise leaves. When that last 1 hour alarm goes off, you should be At The Gangway Getting On The Ship. That is a hard rule I live by while cruising. I am always back on the ship a minimum of one hour before the time. *Better to be safe than stranded.*

We’ve traveled RC a couple of times and they tell you the same. They will leave you and to stay on ship time. They account for everyone and know exactly who hasn’t gotten on.

People have to understand port and dock fees are very expensive especially if they stay past their time. Another ship might be coming in, only the dock workers and the ships officers know this. And lastly ships have a schedule to keep and aren't like cars. They can only go so fast. It's not like in a car when your going 65mph and your behind schedule so you bump it up to 85mph. Ships might be able to go a few knots faster but that's it.

Ex cruise ship worker here, the head of guest relations, crew office and chief security knows beforehand who's not on board before sail away. In relation to guests, the cabin steward and a security officer goes to their cabin and search for their passports, wallets, purses ect and they're send to guest relations who then hands them over to the port agent. The port agent will then transfer their property to them and they're responsible to make it to the next port of call or back to the home port on their own. Same applies to crew but it's the crew office that handles the property transfer as all crew passports are kept. Yes, the crew can't keep their passports while on a contract because they might jump ship.. I don't think the same applies for American crew, but most American crew are considered like semi guests..

They usually give you ship time as well as the local time. Once they say 4:30, this means that you must be on board by then. You are reminded that you will be left. This must have been their first cruise.

I’ve been on cruises where they have left people. They are very serious about the time you need to be back. Also you have to be mindful of the time difference. They have an itinerary to follow and have to remain on time. It’s so sad to see people left but they do stress the time.

I literally have anxiety watching this. If we are told to be back on the boat at 4:30, I am back by 3:00. I don't take any chances at all. I think the land time may have confused them. I am always back on the ship an hour and a half early.

I told her that I her daughter. She then asks me if she is still off the ship. Earlier that morning she told us she wasn't going to get off! Just at that moment the lady on the phone says "oh here she comes!". All aboard was at 530. She called me at 529. My mom also got scammed out of $40 while off the ship.

The best ways to be on time back to the cruise ship to avoid being left behind is to use what I call the 2 hour rule and that is to be back on board 2 hours before the cruise ship departs the port of call. The second way is to wear a wristwatch that requires manual setting of the time so you can always be sure that you are on ship time and not shore time because ship time is not always the same as shore time. Also if you plan to go off to do any shopping on your own it is very important to set a time limit and go by that time limit meaning once the time is up it is time to stop and head back to the ship to ensure that you are back on board at least 2 hours ahead of the scheduled departure.

[@deborahbrooks7143]

I agree. Use a wrist watch that you set manually, and a 2 hour window is a great starting point.

[@danaallen285]

Ive been to Roatan Island, Cozumel, & a few other cruises and one of my most jarring memories of each one is the multiple announcements that says...YOU WILL be LEFT if you are not back to the ship on time AND will have the extra expense of getting home or to the next port. It can be extremely difficult logistically to get to the next port of call to reboard the ship & alot of people probably end up back state side. I always remember thinking to myself that I couldnt think of a quicker way to TOTALLY RUIN a vacation. We typically opted to get back earlier than they stated to avoid any mishaps...

You are 100% right J. Be back on time or don't expect the ship to be there. Its that simple. Its asinine to think the cruise line is going to pay tens of thousands more in port fees and inconvenience thousands of people who were responsible enough to get back on time just for the two or three that couldn't. Getting ship and shore time mixed up is a rookie cruise mistake. Get a "stupid"watch. Set it to SHIP time. That way you know it can't change itself.

Every time I go into port and then I know what time I have to be back by that time and I’m always always an hour early, because I never want this to happen to me. I think I’m usually even two hours early but I know that I’m always right there because I don’t wanna get left behind. I feel for them because that’s not good. That one woman was still in her bathing suit. They probably don’t even have proper clothes. Who knows if they have any money on them too they may have it in the safe on the ship.

This is a good reminder to 1) stay on ship’s time and keep track of it, 2) take your passport or at least a photo of your passport with you when you leave the ship, 3) take a credit card, and 4) take an excursion sponsored by the cruise line. After 53 cruises, I’ve only heard announcements that we were waiting for an excursion to return so we were delaying departure three times as I recall. I’ve heard the announcements for people to report to Guest Services probably a dozen times while in port and subsequently we left at about an hour later than planned. I sail RC primarily. But I’ve seen dock runners, the most notable group was seen not on the dock but on the road, I was on a land vacation in Jamaica. There was a huge traffic jam due to a sudden sink hole in the main road through Ocho Rios. We saw an entire wedding party, bride in gown and all, running along the road…their transportation must have been stuck in the traffic and the ship’s horn had sounded. Not the best way to begin a marriage but they will never forget it.
