Where people get Stanley wrong
Passengers treat the call as certain and plan long trips, when wind often shortens or cancels Stanley calls.
Built from our Stanley guide, checked against 15 official sources (November 2026). Nothing here is guessed. Read the full guide or see the sources.

Personalise my Stanley dayYour whole cruise, planned like this
This is one port. The Cruise Pass times every port of your cruise.
You just timed Stanley to your own all-aboard. Every other port on your cruise needs the same, and your ship's times change at each one. The Cruise Pass does this for every port of your sailing, up to 10: each day timed to your ship, a Plan B if you run late, and live mode on the day with Google Maps travel time back to the pier and alerts at 30, 15 and 0 minutes. Every plan uses the same checked facts as this guide. Nothing is made up.
