Quick question re: disembarkation in NYC port

[RickinNYC]

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.

 

We sailed on the Dawn a few years back and I'm afraid my memory is a complete blank. I know we did the self disembarkation and had no issues, but I also just remember that it seemed we did so at a peak time when everyone else was.

 

That said, we'll be on the Gem in February, 2010, and I was just wondering what is the latest time we can disembark? We live in NYC, so flights and other transportation are a non-issue. Heck, if there aren't any snow drifts to climb over, we could even walk to the subway.

 

Just trying to get a sense of how we can avoid the mad rush to get off the ship.

You can select the colored tag that has the latest disembark time. I believe that it is 10:45., by that time the ship must be pretty empty.

Got it! Many thanks for the speedy reply.

I'm going to assume you meant Feb 2011 for your cruise. You should check your arrival time. Some of the 2011 cruises in January & February don't arrive until 10 am, so the latest time to leave will be later than 10:45.

 

Have a great time.

Back in feb 2010 in NYC we got in port at 8 sharp and we had till noon to get out.

 

We opted for freestyle disem. by 8:30 I was shoveling like a maniac :mad: ( about 12 inches of snow the day before we got back )

That had to have sucked coming back to.

We always do self disembarkation and are among the last pax to get off the ship. It's a long day for us (bus home doesn't arrive until 1pm) so to be able to relax that morning is great. We do let our steward know that we will be leaving the ship as late as we can and they seem to be OK with it. It was after 11 before we got off the last cruise because there were so many doing self-disemb. and all trying to get off early they jammed up the lines!
