Self-disembark with your luggage and have a town car driver waiting for you to take you to the airport (reserve this in advance). The driver will text you and you can call him with you cell phone to find out where to go to be picked up (it will likely be across the street from the cruise terminal.) We did this last week from the NCL Breakaway - they let us off at 8:15 and we were at the Newark airport early enough to catch a 10:30am flight home - so we changed our tickets at the airport, went to a different terminal using the airport train and got home a good 4 hours earlier than we would have on our scheduled flight. It is a long walk through the cruise terminal, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Thank you very much for your help. What company did you use for your town car driver

[heatherandfred]

Try dial 7. Area code 212

[Goldiedog]

We used dial 7, there are no taxis at Port Liberty, you have to pre book transport

I don't know why you are worried. There are no lines at the TSA checkpoint at USA airports. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I heard the news that some lines were over 3 hours and people missed there flights -- WOW.

As another poster said, use the "self assist" when you depart the ship. Don't put your bags in the hall the night before.

You'll probably be off the ship by 8am and in your transport (cab or limo) by 9am. How far is it to the airport?

the airport is about 10 miles 30 min they say. :)

Really..unless your flight is before 10 am, there is NO reason to haul your bags off! Put them out before 11pm the night prior..and you'll be good to go!
