For those of you recently off the Fascination, what time did you get off the ship? And please specify if you did self assist or normal disembark. Thanks!

they have to kick me off the ship. I wait until last call... usually between 10:15 and 11am

I was on the first trip out of JAX and we were off before 9:00 A.M. using Platinum Self Assist. For my trip this September I booked a 11:30 flight and expect to be at the airport way early. 8)

I was on the Main Deck of the Fascination in March - disembarked on Sat, March 21st. We didn't self-assist - lots of luggage for 4 girls, along with the liquor I bought on board. They called our # in the last group about 10 am, and we were through customs fairly quickly.

On that particular cruise, the majority of the passengers did self-assist. I had people standing in line outside my cabin door at 8 am...they stood there for over an hour. That's not for me. The cabin steward asked us to leave so he could clean our cabin, but the "disembarkation talk" included instructions that you could wait for your number to be called in your stateroom if you wanted, so we politely refused. Many folks waited on the decks by the pool, but I didn't want to take my stuff up, then back down to leave.

You could ask for special (early) disembarkation by going to the Purser's desk if you had an early flight.
