Yes, you can walk your bags off the ship yourself on debarkation day. The option to self-disembark, also known as "walk-off" or "carry-off," allows guests to keep their luggage with them and disembark the ship without having to leave their bags outside their stateroom the night before.
Typically, the ship's captain will announce when the ship has been cleared by customs and immigration, and guests will be informed of the self-disembarkation process. The time for self-disembarkation is often around 7 am to 8 am, but it can vary depending on the specific ship and itinerary.
If you choose to walk your bags off the ship, you will be responsible for carrying and managing your own luggage throughout the disembarkation process. This option is ideal for guests who prefer to have more control over their departure and want to have an earlier departure time.
It's important to note that self-disembarkation may not be available on all cruise lines or ships. Therefore, it's recommended to check with the specific cruise line or consult the daily cruise schedule or guest services desk on the ship for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the self-disembarkation process and timing on your particular cruise.
