Steps

Verify the voyage-specific departure windows, group order, and any port restrictions against the final manifest before guest communications begin.
Inspect assigned cabins after the vacate deadline to confirm they are empty, doors are secured, and any exceptions are logged for immediate escalation.
Issue the correct color or numbered luggage tags to each guest group and confirm the tag set matches the departure window on the manifest.
Announce cabin vacate time, luggage collection time, and assigned departure window through the approved shipboard communication channel and repeat the notice as scheduled.
Check the guest against the express departure eligibility list and confirm the routing decision before directing the guest to a lane.
Confirm eligibility, then direct the guest to the express departure lane or time window and notify the port team if priority routing changes.
Use the debarkation manifest to place standard guests into the correct lane and time window without mixing departure groups.
Sort tagged luggage by departure group and destination zone, then confirm the staging area matches the manifest before transfer begins.
Review each required form for completeness and confirm the documentation packet is ready for port authority inspection before guests enter the controlled exit flow.
Log missing documents, late cabin vacates, luggage mismatches, and any other departure exceptions, then notify the appropriate supervisor or port authority contact immediately.
