cruiseaddictColleen Posted March 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi all, Can any recent GEM cruisers tell me the earliest you were able to disembark from the ship in New York. I know that if you walk off with your luggage you can get off first but what time does the ship usually get clearance? Trying to figure out what time I can book our train for. Thanks for any information you can give us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeleNipsy Posted March 12, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2012 There's no guarantee that you'll be able to walk off at that time for your specific sailing. The ship could get delayed, and it does happen. Carnival had a ship last week that was due into Fort Lauderdale early morning, but an attempted medivac on the last sea day delayed it getting back into port until after 12:30 PM. Thankfully my friends that were on that sailing had a 3 PM flight, so they still had plenty of time to make their flight despite the delay.

Ask4Jay Posted March 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2012 At the end of our TAs from Europe we walked off the Gem in NYC at 08:20 in 2008 and 08:35 in 2009. We did EZ walk-off with all our luggage. We left as soon as the ship was cleared. via iPod touch and Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njhorseman Posted March 14, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Typically the earliest walk off disembarkation starts approximately 45 minutes after the ship docks...but it could be as little as a half hour, or as much as an hour or more if CBP is slow in clearing the ship.
