All Aboard Time
All aboard time is the latest time you must be back on your cruise ship before it departs. It's typically 30-60 minutes before the ship's scheduled departure time. Always plan to return to the port at least 1 hour before all aboard time to ensure you don't miss your ship.
Meeting Point
