ELA Posted November 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Can anyone tell me how early we can expect to get off Breakaway in NYC? We will be carrying our own luggage. Thanks! Ela Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted November 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Self disembark has to get a tag color now too, and in theory they will call these one at a time. I remember it started around 8. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I have been in my car on the pier about 8:30 both times I got off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4andAFT Posted November 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2017 There are sometimes customs issues at the Manhattan cruise terminal, especially on sundays. Why on Sundays? We have someone picking us up and would like to give him an approximate time if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted November 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Why on Sundays? We have someone picking us up and would like to give him an approximate time if I could. us customs seems to be short staffed and only have about 2/3 officers on duty to process everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4andAFT Posted November 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thank you. I imagine it will be even worse with two ships returning that day.[emoji30] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted November 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Why on Sundays? ... Staffing. Traffic of course is better, but dealing with Customs, Immigrations, Longshoreman, and any other folks can have an impact. Nothing is for sure. On our last trip, we carried our own luggage and had VIP disembarkation. But, then stood in line for a good 45 minutes to wave our passports.

We wait until last call and it’s still waiting downstairs. After that hubby is across the street and it’s home in 15. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I was wondering how long it would take to disembark too, thanks for asking. I'll be on the same cruise as you. :D I'm travelling solo this time, so that should be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
