How accurate are cruise ship schedules?

Published schedules are planning guides sourced from verified imports. They are not guaranteed. Weather, tender conditions, and cruise line itinerary changes can alter arrival and departure times.

Can arrival and departure times change?

Yes. Cruise lines and port authorities adjust times for weather, pier traffic, tender operations, and operational delays. Check your ship's daily program on port day before disembarking.

How early should I book a shore excursion?

Once you confirm your ship's in-port window from this December 2027 schedule, book must-do tours at least one to two weeks ahead on busy call days. Popular snorkel, beach, and wildlife excursions sell out fastest when multiple ships share the port.
