Cruise Itinerary FAQ
What's the difference between arrival time and all-aboard time?
Arrival is when the ship docks or anchors and you can start going ashore. All-aboard is the deadline to be back on the ship, usually 30 minutes before scheduled departure. Only excursions booked through the cruise line are guaranteed to get you back in time — on your own, the ship will leave without you.
What does “tender port” mean?
The ship anchors offshore and small boats (tenders) ferry passengers to the pier. Budget 20–45 minutes each way plus queues, especially first thing in the morning and near all-aboard. Note it in the Excursion column so the day's timing accounts for it.
Should I write times in ship time or local time?
Ship time. Ships don't always change their clocks to match every port, so ship time and local time can differ by an hour — and it can change mid-voyage. All-aboard is always given in ship time, so check the time the ship posts for each port (daily program or app), set your watch to it, and write every time on this sheet the same way.
