If you were not on a ship's excursion, it is your responsibility to be back on board on time. This time for every port is posted as you leave the ship and is in your daily brochure. If a passenger misses the ship (not on a ship's excursion)it is up to them to get to the ship's next port of call. If one is on a ship's excursion each cruise line has someone in port that is listed in your daily brochure and they will help you get to the next port. This latter scenerio is rare as the ships will ussually wait for all their sponsored excursions to get back.

Unfortunately I have seen it happen too many times where either passengers forget about the time or have to much to drink and just do not get back. It is costly to the cruise line to stay docked and it is inconsiderate to the fellow passengers to be late.

I do not think you will be late again, but I am sorry you learned this lesson the hard way.
