Confirm the exact berth, tender or independent meeting point named in the listing.
Work backward from all-aboard
Allow for local traffic, tender queues and a return margin you are comfortable with.
Read the operator's terms
Check inclusions, cancellation rules and what happens if the ship's schedule changes.
