leaving cruise early

Is it possible to leave a cruise early? i.e. disembarking at the port
before the final destination.

In most cases the answer would be NO, but there are so many variables
here. Your best bet to find out if "you" can, is to have your travel
agent ask the cruise line.

Hi Tippi,

It depends on several factors but permission must be arranged ahead of
time. I often do this for my clients. You should ask your travel
agent to make these arrangements.

On our Baltic cruise in 2007 on Princess, I met someone who was
disembarking one port early. It had to be set up in advance with the
cruise line. Also, they were charged the full fare as if they had stayed
inboard until copenhagen instead of leaving in Stockholm,

Thanks for the fast replies. This is regarding a Panama Canal cruise
from Acapulco to Miami. A friend would like to come but he cannot
enter the US, so he wants to see if he can stop in Jamaica. Will ask
Travel agent.

Might have trouble booking if it is a US ship.

They have to send the manifest to the US government since a US port is
on the itinerary. So he could get to Acapulco port and be denied or
have a problem boarding. There could be complications involved even if
they get off early. If the reason for not being able to enter the US is
a criminal matter the cruise line likely won't want to carry.

He was on RCCL on a Med cruise and it was fine, but maybe we'd better
not risk it if it includes a US port. thanks

I got on a cruise in Barcelona and got off in Venice even though the
cruise continued to Istanbul. No problem, although at first they
tried to invoke the PSA as a reason that I could not do it. I paid
for the whole cruise but not the service charge/tips for the days I
was not on board.

The Med doesn't have the same issues. As Charles says, the TSA can
say "NO" even if he does plan to get off early.
