Celebrity Millennium keeps one clock at Busan: 07:00 to 16:00 on both 8 Mar and 20 Mar, 7 usable hours, from the International Passenger Terminal, North Port (MBF-1). An early start and an early finish, so the morning is the day.

Usable hours follow the one rule: off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, back at the gangway an hour before that. Overnight calls count the longest daylight stretch.

07:00–16:00 · about 7 usable hours · gangway by 14:30

Both calls: off at 07:30, gangway by 14:30. The Nampo classic (~5h) by the covered walk to Busan Station and metro Line 1 fits with margin; Gamcheon + Nampo (~7.5h) does not. Busan Comfortable Private Tour For 7hours, US$850 per car, needs a call of 9 hours and these are 9 in port, so it fits and is open on both dates; it picks up at the port.
