Self-debarkation (also called self-assist, express-departure/debarkation, or walk-off) requires that you carry your luggage off of the ship and through customs yourself. This process is quicker than standard debarkation and essential if you're trying to catch an early flight or shuttle. The night before your departure, be sure to pay all onboard bills at guest services, complete all U.S. Customs Forms, and keep your luggage in your room so you can leave with your own bags in the morning. We encourage you to talk to your cruise line's guest services for more information about this process.
