Will a cruise ship wait for me if I'm running late at a port stop? Here's what a captain has to say.
==========

Captain Rob Hempstead of Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas shared advice on what to do if you're running late to a cruise ship. If you're late returning from a cruise-line organized excursion, the ship will wait. However, if you've spent the day independently or with a private tour company, you should call the ship agent to alert them of your delay. The captain will make an educated decision about whether or not to wait based on the estimated time of your arrival. The crew's main concern is sticking to the tight schedule and avoiding burning excessive fuel. It's recommended to plan your day with ample time to return to port or book excursions through the cruise line.
