We will be disembarking Mariner of the Seas out of Port Canaveral and I'm in the process of booking transportation after our cruise to Universal Orlando. However, I'm not sure what time to schedule our pickup.

What is the average time you get off the ship if you're not carrying your luggage off the ship?

Thanks :)
 
Have you done DCL before? Disembarkation times should be about the same. What that time is, I don't exactly remember, as it's been a while since I was at Port Canaveral. But I think the general convention holds true that the later you get off, the longer the wait will be.

So with that in mind, I'd try for the earliest departure you can get. If you have to, fudge your data to show a 11:30-12pm flight to somewhere. If you get an early time, you'll probably be out of the terminal by 8-8:30am. Again, I'm working off of general convention, so hopefully someone can fill in the blanks or correct me.
 
You'll get a luggage tag number and be called off the ship once that luggage is offloaded and ready. The higher the number, the later the debark. If you want a lower number, just go to guest services and ask, they'll give it you.
You can then get off any time after your number is called (you can get off before if you really want, no one checks, but then you'll be stuck waiting in the terminal until your luggage gets off).

I haven't done port Canaveral, but the latest they aim to have everyone off generally is 9.30.
 
I have been on a couple Disney cruises but it's been years and I don't remember what time we got off the ship. I just remember it was early lol.

Thanks this is very helpful.
