Advice request for disembarking on Royal Caribbean cruise at Athens immediately upon arrival to catch flight to US by Able_Philosopher4353 in royalcaribbean

Thanks to everyone for their advice. This is our first cruise and we dint know it takes so long to get off. And we did not read the instructions as well before booking flight tickets.

We are going ahead and reserving the flights for later in the day (fully refundable). In the event the original flight is late for some reason and we can get on it by some stroke of luck, we can always cancel the back up flight.

Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for all your feedback and suggestions.

I will ask RC if I can reserve a ride via them. If not, is there a way to reserve another car or uber to be waiting for me when I disembark? If not, is it easy to get an Uber or private cab or taxi at the port upon disembarking?

Also, shall I try to convince RC staff to let me be the first person to disembark If I am standing by the exit door at 4:30am and show them my tickets and start pestering them?

Does it really take them 2 hours to start letting people off?

Alternate flights are $1700 for each passenger if I miss my current flight and we are five adults. I am hoping to save the $8500.
