2015 Splendour Venice to Dubai

I'll explain this as best I can, but you really needed to be there.
Sheila and I went to the consecutive cruisers meeting, so we could find out the ship's procedure for ending this cruise and starting the next.
Along with getting your new sea pass cards, and what to do if you are going ashore in Dubai to see the sights etc.
It's explained to us that we would receive our new sea passes the night before the end of the cruise.
So on the final day of this cruise, which after 8.30am becomes the first day of the next cruise.
If you want to leave the ship BEFORE 8.30am you just go to the gangway and check off the ship with your old sea pass, and when you return you check back in with your new sea pass.
But if you want to leave the ship anytime AFTER 8.30am you must go to the Schooner Bar AT 8.30AM and have your old sea pass cancelled and your new pass validated.
Then you can leave the ship anytime you want.
Now that might sound a bit complicated but believe me it isn't.
The officer asks are there any questions?
One guy who had to be American, pipes up, what if I want to leave the ship at say 8.27am or 8.44am?
Well sir as one time is before 8.30am and one time after 8.30am, just follow the previously explained procedure.
