Just to complete this conversation, it was easy-peasy to get to Haneda from the Tokyo International Cruise Ship Terminal. We were off the ship at 8:45 and it was just a 15 minute taxi ride to Haneda. I had plenty of time to get to my flight with an on-line check-in and just carry on baggage. Thanks to all who made suggestions!

Good idea, Alexandra. I just booked a UAL award flight departing at 5:45pm as a back up. Economy plus exit row for 55K, not bad considering they want 140K for premium econ and 200K for business. It is a 9 hour flight to SFO, so I should survive if I miss my EVA business class flight. I just have to remember to cancel it, if I get on the EVA flight.

Good idea, I'll definitely do that.

AJCM, good suggestion. I'm planning on taking full advantage of the included laundry service on Regent. I will be traveling with just a carry-on bag. Alexandria, thanks for checking on this. People on this site are so helpful. I can get a refund of my miles but there is no space on the later flight that day. I think I will be okay booking a car in advance, plus I will only have a carry-on bag.

Thanks to all of you for the helpful advice. I can't change to a later flight because I am traveling on an EVA Air award ticket that doesn't allow changes. Since I don't have a choice, I'll ask to be among the first off and grab a taxi, per tubeamps suggestion. Back in the day when I traveled extensively on business, I liked getting to the airport just in time to be the last person boarding. I may have a chance to relive the past. Of course, I can't jog as fast as I used to...

Thanks GMIAC. I did call Regent but they weren't helpful, other than telling me to ask after boarding.

I am booked on the Explorer with an arrival in Tokyo on April 1. The itinerary shows an arrival time of 8:00 AM. My flight was changed and now departs from Haneda at 10:30 AM. I would like to disembark as early as possible. Does anyone know how quickly I can get off the ship?
