Remember, no matter what time you choose to debark the ship, you will need to be out of your stateroom by 8:00 a.m. and you are required to clear through U.S. Customs before exiting the terminal. The lines typically move quickly, but this depends on how many other Guests debark at the same time.
Disney Cruise Line suggests that guests sailing from Port Canaveral and flying out of the Orlando International Airport schedule a flight that departs no earlier than 11:25 a.m. on their disembarkation day.
Assuming a ship remains punctual, the time at which passengers can disembark depends on how long it takes for local authorities to clear the vessel. Most cruise ships are cleared for passengers to debark between 7 and 9 a.m., depending on their arrival time.
Late afternoon on the last full day of your cruise, instructions on debarkation along with luggage tags will be delivered to your stateroom. The debarkation process will vary by passenger, and it really depends on your travel schedule the following day and how much you want to carry with you when you leave the ship.
Staterooms are typically ready around 1:30 p.m. on the day of your voyage. Luggage may not arrive for a few hours afterward, so I recommend that you bring a swimsuit and coverup in a carry-on bag if you'd like to enjoy the pools onboard shortly after boarding.
Crowded PoolsThe pools on the Disney cruise ships can get crowded. If you visit the pools during non-peak hours, it will help with the crowd levels. We like to use the pools in the morning or on port days. That being said, we don't really have an issue with the crowded pools.

When leaving from the Port of Miami, Disney Cruise Line Cast Members are available and ready to check you in between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. If you are a Concierge guest, you can arrive at port anytime within this window to check in and board the ship once it is ready for guests.
On voyage-conclusion days, also called turnaround days, passengers are asked to vacate their cabins between 8 and 8:30 a.m. so stewards can begin cleaning them for the next round of cruisers. Everyone from the cruise that's ending must be off the ship between 9 and 10 a.m. in most cases.
The rotational dining team will typically open the doors and begin seating guests five to ten minutes before your scheduled dining time. We have arrived up to fifteen minutes late to the rotational dining rooms and we were still seated. I wouldn't recommend arriving much later than that so you can enjoy the meal!
Bottom Line: Time to leave the ship can vary widely. If everything goes smoothly and there are automated kiosks for immigration, it can be as little as 15 minutes. However, delays and thousands of passengers leaving at once can lead to longer wait times of 1-2 hours until you are outside the cruise terminal.
In most cases, once a passenger embarks on a cruise, they are expected to follow the predetermined itinerary and complete the entire journey. Cruise lines generally have policies in place that discourage or prohibit passengers from disembarking before the scheduled end of the voyage.
So, Can You Get off a Cruise Early? Outside of emergencies, passengers rarely end their cruises before completion. No matter the reason, the question remains: Can you end your cruise at any port on the itinerary? Technically, the answer is yes.
Once the ship realizes you have not returned, they'll often enter your stateroom to remove any essential items like passports and leave the items with the port agents on land. Keeping these items in an easy-to-find place (like the safe) can help crew members locate the items quickly in an emergency.
