The time of breakfast will depend on whether you had first dinner seating or second dinner seating.&nbsp; For first seating, it&#8217;s pretty early &#8212; generally before 7:00 AM.&nbsp; The breakfast is a hurried affair, but we&#8217;ve always attended to say goodbye to our server team.&nbsp; We really liked this team and keep in touch with Tricia, our assistant server.&nbsp; We do frequently seek out our former servers when we&#8217;re back on board the Wonder.<\/p>\n<p>After breakfast, you can find a space somewhere on board to wait for your luggage tag color\/character to be called.&nbsp; We usually wait in one of the lounges, as we aren&#8217;t in too much of a hurry to get off the ship.&nbsp; Guests who choose to keep their luggage with them can participate in Express Walk-Off; they get off the ship first, but again, they have to carry all of their luggage off and through the customs line.&nbsp; We&#8217;ve taken advantage of that feature once when we wanted to drive back from Port Canaveral to Washington, D.C. in one day.<\/p>\n<p>Once your luggage tag is called, you will exit the ship by swiping your Key To The World card one last time.&nbsp; You will then proceed to collect your luggage and head to the Customs area.&nbsp; You will hand the form to a Customs official and then have your Passports examined.&nbsp; This step has never taken us very long, maybe 5 minutes of waiting in line.&nbsp; After talking to the Customs officials, you can then go out to find your transportation.&nbsp; On this particular trip, we needed to return to the airport for a return flight.&nbsp; We headed outside and grabbed a cab to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>We really enjoyed the trip immensely.&nbsp; We had several new experiences and made great memories, which is the best you can hope for on a family vacation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/four-day-cruise-part-1-planning\/\">Planning <\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/four-day-cruise-part-2-boarding-the-ship\/\">&nbsp;Boarding<\/a> |<a href=\"http:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/four-day-cruise-part-2-boarding-the-ship\/\">&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/four-day-cruise-part-3-castaway-cay\/\">Castaway Cay<\/a> |<a href=\"http:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/four-day-cruise-part-4-nassau-day\/\">&nbsp;Nassau<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/four-day-cruise-part-5-key-west\/\">Key West<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/four-day-cruise-part-6-going-home\/\">Going Home<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going Home We always refer to the last morning of the cruise as the saddest day.&nbsp;
