Why won't RCCL let you get off a day early when overnighting in a port?

RCCL used to let you get off a day early for a charge when staying in the same port on the last night of the cruise. I had called about this a while ago and they said they no longer allow this because of covid. This still are not allowing this. I have an 18 night that overnights in Istanbul and there is a 4:30 a.m. flight. Anyone know why they do not allow this?? I was just on a NCL and they allowed it.

If they told you the reason is Covid, then that’s the reason.

Nope, no one here knows why, other that it's their policy.

If you are there docked overnight, I don’t see what stops you getting off the ship when you want and going to the airport. I am sure there would be no curfew. As you will have scanned your sea pass card they will no you are no longer on the ship and will not be searching for you.

Maybe something to do with customs/border agents?

I may be "Cheap" in my thinking but I wouldn't want to get off a day early.  I paid for all that food and drinks and lodging and I am going to use it all !  Plus,  I am NEVER in a hurry to go back to work.
