All-aboard and buffer rules
Ships here dock alongside. All-aboard is normally 30 minutes before departure on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, NCL and MSC (check your daily planner). Plan to be back at the pier at least 60 minutes before the ship sails.
Tours that need extra margin here
- Beach break / beach club: St. John beach days need the Red Hook ferry, so check the ferry schedule against all-aboard.
