The carnival Magic was in port with guests already ashoe when it was decided the ship had to leave early because of incoming weather. How do they let everyone know to get back to the ship early? Also I ask John Heald the question if passengers did not get back on time would the ship wait for them. Also if it had to leave them behind who would be responsable to get them back to the ship and who pays?

As a scuba diver, it would be a bit difficult to get a phone call or hear the ship's horn if they need to leave early.
-
I think it is the cruise line’s responsibility to take care of their passengers and get them to the next port.
-
I'm in airplane mode when on a cruise, I would have no idea it happened

Long timer cruiser and this is 1st time I’ve heard this. Ship should announce POSSIBILITY of early departure when people are leaving boat in morning to start excursions and exploring

I was at a port visit in Geraldton, Western Australia back in 2015. All morning it was a beautiful sunny day, but there was a cyclone (hurricane) further north along the coast, and not thought to be a concern. After lunch time it got increasingly darker with menacing storm clouds - it was the cyclone getting near! This is just a small town, so nobody would have gone away from the ship very far unless they were on an excursion. At about 2pm the police were going around town and telling all the shops to close, and directly approaching everyone walking around town with a cruise lanyard around their neck to get back to the ship - so yes, you're right Don, this was another example of word-of-mouth being an important factor.

How can you be sure it's YOUR ship's horn? Often there is more than one ship in port. Great question you asked. Please let us know what John's answer is. IMO, the cruise line would absolutely be responsible for any costs involved. Especially if it wasn't a life or death situation that caused the early departure.

Thanks for this important info, I am one of those people who has my phone on airplane mode.

My hubby and I rented a jeep in Jamaica and went to Bob Marleys house and visited the tiny village when we heard the ship horn. Somehow we knew to get down the mountain and through Ferngully rai forest and back to the ship. It was an anxious ride downhill not knowing when the ship would leave. We made it back among the last few boarding. A run down the pier. 2 young women joined the ship after it left dock.A police e boat brought them.

I never thought of this scenario, I’m glad they notify so many people, especially other tour providers.

This happened to us in Cobh, Ireland. We were on an excursion 2hrs away in Killarney. We had a great bus driver and he got us back in time. We were the last bus to arrive. Our cruise director was out there greeting everyone, even in the pouring rain.💜

This happened to us in Hiva Oa in French Polynesia. The weather turned and the ships horn sounded. People from the town said... "they are calling you back!" and we got back to the ship before it left early. This was the Tahitian Princess probably around 2005.

Hey 👋 Don. I believe it should be the cruise line…but it might be a good practice to maybe announce in the evenings or early mornings, if a storm may have the potential to be close, that the may have to leave a port early. Have the announcements before people disembark to a port.. please keep your phones close..check your emails…listen for the ships 🛳️ horn to sound. Maybe even run it on the tv in the cabins and sports bars. Just my thoughts. God bless ya Don.

My wife and I were just chatting about this last evening. Before watching, I assumed they call you on the mobile devices you have on record with the ship and call all tour guides they know of. I try to be back to the ship at least 45 minutes before departure, but that would not have saved me in this instance. Cruise lines should cover the cost if the ship leaves early and someone is left behind.
-
Cruise line should pick up the cost
-
As many cruises I have been on- I never knew this! Thank you very much!
-
Hearing the cruise horn is tricky if more than one cruise ship is at port, I would come back if it is heard just in case, it's your ship
-
Maybe the ships should announce on the ship before people get off the ship that there’s a possibility of the ship leaving early. It’s not like they don’t know there’s a hurricane in the area. This isn’t rocket science. Then they can put their phones on or listen for the horn.
-
I feel that Carnival or whichever cruise line is involved should pick up the cost.
-
Do people know the horn blast means get back? I didn’t.
