I am a US citizen and know the 90-day allotted rule. But this time I need clarification. I am entering France on May 18th and had planned on departing Spain on August 16th - exactly 90 days.
But I have booked a repositioning cruise that departs from Lisbon on August 26th. So I think, or at least hope, I could depart Spain for the UK on August 14th or 15th and would still be able to return to Lisbon for 1 day on the 26th and still be within my 90 days? Sure hope someone can answer this question for me before I confirm my cruise!

Added from a now deleted answer:
I have rearranged my departure from Spain to the UK to give myself a 4-day buffer before I would reach my 90-day limit in the Schengen. I will fly into Lisbon the morning of the 26th of August and the cruise departs (for the States) at 11:00 p.m. that evening.

Using the Schengen calculator https://ec.europa.eu/assets/home/visa-calculator/calculator.htm?lang=en entering on 18th May and leaving on 14th August will allow you to renter on 26th for one day within the 90/180 day rule.

Bear in mind that ‘For one day’ means exactly that - you will need to enter and leave on the same day, and before 23:59. You must make sure you receive entry and exit stamps. Since you do not have any room for error if there are any delays to your travel plans, you should consider how you can spend a little less time in the Schengen zone to give yourself more of a buffer. For example, arriving in Schengen a little later, leaving for the UK a day or so earlier.
