This should be filed in the "somebody should do something about this" file because maybe somebody has. I have not experienced this myself, so I cannot vouch that this works. But Princess Cruise Lines has decided it's unhappy with the old-fashioned bump-and-grind-your-teeth method of disembarkation on cruise ships.
This is the worst part of any cruise, and it makes for an abrupt ending to what is usually otherwise a quite lovely week on the seas.
Instead of straining to hear loudspeaker announcements, slapping on luggage tags and hoping for the best, and then tearing off with no clear plan only to get stalled in stairway gridlock ... here's a new idea.
On the last night of the cruise, Princess sends you a letter with specific instructions on how to disembark. You get a time and place. Show up at that time and you'll be met by a Princess crew member whose job it is to escort you off the ship in a timely way.
No more rushing around and no more garbled loudspeaker announcements.
If you don't mind lugging your own luggage, Princess says you can participate in "Express Disembarkation," which just means these resourceful and hardy souls get to go first.
