mapleleaves Posted June 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2023 which cruiseline? what time is your flight ? I was on NCL last Sept docking in Trieste. The disembark schedule showed that pax who bought an NCL transfer to VCE could leave starting at 7am. This would have you to VCE 9 - 9:30am.

mapleleaves Posted June 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Why not go with the HAL transfer ? It's only a 2hr drive. I remembered this post. See reply #15 for a private car/driver recommendation, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we need a reliable company. HAL is not known for starting disembarking 5 minutes after arrival. We have arrived as early as 4:30 in port, nobody was getting off before 7am. Recently I have seen HAL starting disembarking at maybe 6:30, on occasion. Is Oosterdam docking the day before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cahera Posted June 23, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted June 23, 2023 IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION We look forward to welcoming you on board Oosterdam for your upcoming voyage that will end in Triste (for Venice), Italy. As a reminder, disembarkation from the ship will be begin no earlier than 7:15 AM, and the transport time to Marco Polo International Airport (VCE) is approximately 2 hours. The airport recommends arriving at least 3 hours prior to flight departure. As a result, we strongly recommend international flights depart no earlier than 1:00 PM on your disembarkation day. Guests with earlier flights should be prepared to do self-help disembarkation from the ship with your luggage, and must arrange independent transportation to the airport as Holland America Line transfers are not available for guests with flights before 1:00 PM. If you would like to purchase an airport transfer and have not yet done so, you may purchase them online or by contacting us or your travel advisor. You will also be able to make disembarkation transfer arrangements on board. Ships' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambagahle Posted July 19, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Don't know how it works with HAL but on Regent you can "self-disembark" once the ship is cleared. When the ship is in port (as we were in Venice some years ago) we were told that luggage would be moved to the Terminal building in the night and we were free to leave when we wanted. We needed to get to Hertz when it opened (we were driving home) so left the ship at 0745. No problem. Had the luggage not been onshore we could have taken our own luggage had we wanted to. Maybe see if one or the other works for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
