Always confirm your sailing directly with the cruise line.
What turnaround days actually do
7–10am: Disembarkation puts pressure on Harborside and the inbound causeway.
11am–2pm: Boarding fills terminal-adjacent lunch spots. Eat early or after 1:30.
After 4pm: Ships are gone and downtown exhales — a strong dinner window.
