Question Another Baltimore Cruise Question

I am asking this here because i know several forumites have been on cruises and have personal experience with this. How long from the time the cruise ship docks in Baltimore did it take to disembark off the ship and collect any luggage. Ship is suppose to dock at 0700 am. I am sure it varies with different ships just looking for an approximation. TIA

While onboard put in a request for early departure. This will allow you to leave your baggage in your stateroom on the last night of the cruise and you'll be off the ship through customs usually by 7:30 a.m. Just did this last week and we were home before 10:00 a.m. Have fun!

Chances are you'll be off the ship by then (if you choose) w/out selecting early departure.

They start getting passengers off ships pretty quickly (20 minutes or so). Customs doesn't take long to clear vessels. Keep your luggage with you and walk it off yourself.

I have never been on a balt cruise, but I have been in one of the last groups to disembark on a FL cruise (due to our later flight time home) and it was maybe 1 1/2 hours after we docked, we were off ship, got bags and cleared customs.
