Cruise Port-Day and Transfer Worksheet

Fill this in from your current cruise-line, hotel, airline, and transfer instructions. Keep ship time and local time in separate fields.

On a phone, scroll tables sideways. Print in landscape for room to write.

Check before you go: All-aboard time can change. Use the current time shown for your ship and port call. Choose a personal return-to-pier goal before that time. Do not use a general buffer or another port’s transfer rule as your own.

Check whether you must use a tender boat. Record the meeting point and the time you must be on board, not only the time an activity ends.

Transfers and land stays

Operator checks: Royal Caribbean arrival appointments come from app check-in. Use the current onboard ship-time and all-aboard notices for each call. For a Carnival airport transfer, check the flight and transfer windows listed for your port and service.
