If the itinerary says 07.30 am

[Kingseat]

Does that mean the time the cruise arrives back at Port Canaveral or is that the time you get off the ship?

Can I also ask, do you just walk off, grab your bags and go pretty quickly or does this part take a while?

Trying to figure out what time we can get to Universal Hotel/Park for.

Thanks.

If it's a Disney cruise ...
You will dock around 6am and you have 2 choices for your luggage.

First choice is to pack everything up then leave your cases outside your stateroom door that evening (before 10pm). They will be collected then taken into the terminal building once at PC. You would then leave the ship around 8am, go into the terminal building and collect your luggage (it's very easy to find as everyone is given a 'character label' and you just go to that character area.

Other choice is to keep your luggage with you and do what's called Express Walk Off. This means you dragging all of your cases with you to breakfast (leave at door of restaurant as you cannot bring them to the table with you), then take them off yourself.

Either way, you still have to go through the terminal building and wait for immigration.

At PC, they are very experienced in getting you off the ship quickly, so I would personally put my cases outside my door before 10pm and let someone else do the dragging!

You'll be off by 8:30 either way, so could be at your resort an hour later!
