Before the ship arrives
Keep the reservation reference and the confirmed contact number available offline. Ship Wi-Fi and roaming connections may not switch cleanly while you are leaving the vessel.
The agency should already have your ship name, port date and arrival schedule. If the cruise line changes those details, send the update as soon as it appears in the onboard information.
Leaving the terminal
Kusadasi’s cruise facilities connect directly to the town, but access controls mean vehicles and guides may meet guests outside the secure passenger area. Your confirmation should name the exact point rather than relying on a general “port pickup” label.
Walk together as a group and look for the agreed name or sign. Avoid accepting an unverified offer from someone who cannot quote your reservation reference.
If disembarkation is late
Do not assume the original itinerary still fits. Send a short message when you are able to leave the ship. A local team can shorten a secondary stop, adjust the order or recommend a focused Ephesus route.
The important number is the confirmed all-aboard time, not only the published vessel departure. Keep the cruise line’s instructions as the source of truth.
Information worth confirming
A useful written confirmation includes the guide or coordinator contact, pickup time, meeting point, vehicle arrangement, route, estimated return and what is excluded. That single message is more valuable than a long generic description.
- Reservation reference
- Ship name and date
- Exact meeting point
- Pickup and return estimate
- Tour and ticket inclusions
