Flight time question

[CruisingSince1982]

hi - our ship docks in Trieste at 7am. Can we do a 12:15pm flight from Venice?

Which cruiseline ?  how are you getting to VCE?

It certainly wouldn't be in my comfort zone. The VCE website suggests that you arrive 3 hrs prior to departure, so 9:15am, which only gives you 2 hrs to get there and it's a 2hr drive. Zero wiggle room. 

 

Here is my response to a similar question asked recently:

"we were on an NCL cruise from Trieste this past Sept. 

The paperwork said we would return to Trieste at 8am but we arrived closer prior to 6am.   

I kept a copy of the disembark schedule: 

- 7am was the first departure group and it was for pax with flights prior to 1pm AND were booked on the NCL transfer to VCE. The buses loaded right there at the pier and went directly to the airport 

-  7:30 was for self assist pax

-  8am, pax with flights after 1pm and an NCL transfer to VCE.

 

I didn't want to end my vacation with a long flight home, so I had a relaxing day in Venice, stayed at an airport hotel, and flew out at 6:30am the next morning."

Looks like we will be ok as long as we are on the NCL transfer.

what time are you scheduled to dock? 

I'd call NCL and ask for details on the transfer.  What was available in Sept for the Gem might not be the same for 2023.
