How accurate are disembark times?

[scuba diver]

I am booking independent diving excurisions for the Western cruise. I need to know how accurate are the disembarkment times posted by Disney. Are we able to get off the ship just about the time they say we can?

Please let me know if you had any specific experience with the Western ports because we are making our plans now to have some great dives.

when we were on the Western in July the times posted were pretty acurate. Since it appears that you are traveling in December I can't wait till you post on weather, diving etc. since we are cruising again December 2003.

for the most part, I believe they are pretty accurate. However, if there is bad weather, you could experience a small delay. If i were you i would make sure to allow a little extra time when making your excursion arrangements on your own.
