Excursion start time

[MiketheKid]

Anyone know what time, in general, most CCL excursions begin?? We arrive in St. Thomas early in the morning (7am? ill have to check), so I assume they will begin soon after we are allowed to debark. I'm yet to get my docs, so maybe I will receive some sort of brochure that has all this info. Just want to make sure that I have time to do some exploring on my own after the excursion.

Kinda difficult to answer. It depends on the port, the time you get there, and if you are tendering or docked. Usually you will meet about an hour after normal debarkation has begun. It's not unusual to debark with the rest of the ship and meet under a sign somewhere on the dock. If the ship is running behind, I have seen them make the excursion debarkation a first priority on tenders. RCCL likes to meet in the main lounge and then leave by group number following a leader carrying a RCCL "lollipop" sign.
