Another Freedom of the seas question

[king kamehameha]

According to the Eastern itinerary, it says the arrival time for Freedom in St. Thomas is 12:00 (noon). That seems kind of late. Do they ever get there any earlier?

There might be some itineraries/sailings where the hours are different, but for ours, too, it's noon to 7pm.

I saw on the Oct 4th sailing and we did get there earlier at 9am but that was because due to the hurricane we couldn't stop at CoCo Cay. I wouldn't count on being more than 15-30 minutes earlier max.

Thanks for the info!

Depending on sea conditions, they may get there sooner. On our last three Eastern cruises on Freedom, we were off the ship before noon.

As the previous poster said, if you miss Coco Cay due to weather (it's a tender port, and if the winds are out of the East or North it can kick up the seas too much for the tenders to operate), you will get to St. Thomas a lot earlier.
