What time is ALL ABOARD in Nassau on Wonder 4-night Cruise?

[WDW Commando]

When I read trip reports and Navigators I often see different times for ALL ABOARD in Nassau for the 4-night Wonder cruises. I have seen 5pm, 7pm, 11pm and even 2am. For someone that wants to spend the day at Atlantis, this could greatly impact their schedule. Does anyone know if there is rhyme or reason for these different times? Is it predictable?

Our 4-night cruise is 4/22/07...Our paperwork says 7pm for Nassau. The Disney Cruise site states the same.

We were on the 12/26 4 day and the all-aboard time for Nassau was 1 AM !
They were warning us all the day before about getting back to the ship on time, especially since there was a wild holiday "Junkaroo" ( parades, a street carnival, etc) going on in the streets of Nassau which began at 8 PM. I hope everyone listened becuase we were pulling out just a few minutes after 1:00 so either everyone was onboard or they were left behind becuse there was absolutely no delay from their posted departure time.

So, does anyone know? I just saw a recent navigator and it said 1:00am. THen some where else it said 7:00pm. If it is really late we will get some nursery time to go gamble

We were there in Nov, our all aboard was 7pm. For my family that was too late. We didn't find much to do in Nassau, but we didn't go to Atlantis either. We figured the next day at Castaway would be our Beach time!! Now all aboard there was 4pm. Way too early!!!

But is was all fun!! Looking forward to when we can go again!!

Our DC is in March and it has us down for a 7pm departure from Nassau. Not sure if that means we have to be onboard earlier though....... Guess I'll find out in 62 days!!

On our 1/7 four day Wonder cruise, all aboard time was listed in the Navigator as 1:30 A.M. but it was in fact at 5 PM, and we sailed at 7 PM.

We cruised Dec 17-21. The day we were in Nassau it seems like we were told to be back by 12:00 midnight. We were to set sail at 1:30. I just remember them saying we would be asleep while sailing to Castaway Cay which was a good relief for those that were sea sick.

Every so many cruises the ship stays in Nassau till 1am or so for the crew to have some off time. Of course since the ship is docked guests are allowed out as well but the crew told us there was not much to do near the pier (with the exception of Senior Frogs), many of the local bars were just that for locals or crew and they said they wouldn't recommend going to them. There was the option of Atlantis' night club but with a highly overpriced cover we stayed onboard. There is no set sched. for this, if it happens it happens. We lucked out, it was nice to see the island all lit up for the night. Of course it poured the entire evening so we were glad we made the choice to stay onboard.

All aboard for the Wonder on 1/15 was 2 a.m.! We had a nice late dinner at Palo enjoying the lights of Nassau, then were in bed before she sailed and woke up in Castaway Cay. A very nice treat!
