Glad you had a good cruise. Yeah, unfortunately, debarkation just seems messy when the thousands of cruisers who embarked over 3-4 hours, all try to leave in a way much shorter time... Thanks for the review!

Debark in Jacksonville is normally 2.5 to 3 hours. If you have a Passport the Facial Recognition process is very quick.. Birth certificates take longer!!

Sounds like you did not plan for debarkation.
