I spent a long time googling this and can’t find anything…when you look up a specific cruise on Resort for a Day it tells you what the expected time in port is. For example, all of the Disney Magic cruises I looked up had 8:30 am - 5:15 pm in Nassau, whereas the ones for the Dream arrived at 9:30. Are these times to be believed, or is this a rough estimate? I remember reading a review saying that their DCL cruise left Nassau at 2:30, but I don’t know where they were headed…it might have been a very different itinerary than what I’m looking at (basically, the ones that go to Nassau and Castaway Cay). I’ve never cruised before so I don’t know if these times tend to be set in stone or not…but I get the impression that with cruising nothing is ever set in stone…
I’e cruised on Disney CL twice and 7 other times on other cruise lines. The arrival and departure are usually accurate except for unforeseen events. We did a shore excursion through Disney CL to a lovely resort in Mexico. We felt we had plenty of time. The shore excursion are accurate for time frames also.

The times are accurate. Similar to airports, but way less complex, cruise ports “book” ships for arrival and departure times. Changes would be related to in-the-moment, unforeseen circumstances.
