Port return buffer rule: target pierside return at least 90–120 minutes before All-Aboard (and always verify official Ship Time on board).
All-Aboard Provenance Disclosure: Where marked Modeled all-aboard, gangway cutoffs are estimated from official scheduled port departures (30 min prior at docked piers; 60 min prior at tender anchorages) rather than a printed shipboard gangway notice. Modeled estimates never replace shipboard command — always confirm the official All-Aboard time in your ship's daily planner and pier gangway board before going ashore.
