Will I make a 12:30 flight from Manhattan terminal?

[Mizsuzee]

I hope to book a flight out of either Newark NJ or JFK at about 12:30pm after arriving at the Manhattan cruise terminal that morning. My cruise line (Holland America) say that I really shouldn't plan a flight prior to 1pm. What are your experiences, getting out of the Manhattan cruise terminal? I'm looking at taking a shuttle to EWR or a taxi/Uber to JFK. Would love to hear any thoughts regarding being able to make a flight at 12:30.

If you self-debark at 9:00 am you will get off the ship very quickly. Plus the customs lines are relatively short then.

 

It would be better to catch a flight from Newark as it's much closer to the west side cruise terminal than JFK. Try Carmel car service very reliable 212 666-6666, use them all the time.

 

Good Luck.
