Cruising – Time To Say Goodbye

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Well, as we all know, all things, good or bad has to come to an end. And a very relaxing, fun and unforgettable cruise will eventually come to its last day and you will find yourself in a port on making your way home.

Disembarking the cruise ship is not as easy as riding and living in it. To some passengers, the worst part of the cruise is the part where they have to go home. Not because the cruise has given some sentimental or emotional experience for them but because of the disembarking process.

If you would be in your first cruise, the process of disembarking begins the night before departure. You will given color coded tags for your luggage. This color represents the group you are allocated to the time you have to meet your transportation that will take you home or to your next destination. Your stewardess or the attendant who has given you this tags will ask you to place your luggage outside your cabin the night before you arrived at your last port, which is the city where you disembark. Before you do so, you should plan what to wear that evening and the morning after along with the things you need to use like toothbrush or razor.

You will be asked to clear your cabin depending on the time that is advised to you the night before. Certain cruise lines still offers breakfast for the passengers before they leave or while they wait for the assigned color to be called and give the passenger permission to leave the ship. Once you are on shore, you will still be in the terminal and just like in an airport, you will have to locate your luggage which will be with the luggage with the same color tag as your. And same as that of the airport, you will also have to through customs and declare what you bring and your luggage will be inspected.

Once you have all your luggage and cleared of the custom, you can now make your way home keeping with you memories of a great time on cruise. The process of disembarking is not that hard for the passengers but it is a complicated process for those with cruise ship jobs. The assigned stewardess will have to visit the designated rooms and see to it that they have their tags. On the night before they leave, the stewards would then collect hundreds of luggage and carry them to the terminal and still have to group them depending on what color they have. Once they are done, they will now clear the rooms and the morning and bid the passengers good bye.

Remember that even though a 3 or 7 day cruise seems long, you should always make the most out of it as on the last night of the cruise, you will wish that you were still on board as being on cruise is one of the best experience one could have in his life.
