Thank you for sharing your experience! I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for the helpful information!

I would ask the folks on the Australia and New Zealanders Cruisers' board

Someone there will likely be able to describe pretty accurately how well things move, or don't, at the airport.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I am scheduled to sail on the Maasdam out of Sydney on October 21. The ship returns to Sydney at 7 AM on November 22. Holland America advises passengers to book departing flights no earlier than 12:15 PM. I booked a 12:30 flight, but my airline just had a schedule change to 11:50 AM and there are no later direct flights available. Do any of you have a sense as to whether I can make an 11:50 AM international flight? Thank you!

Thank you for your reply!

The airline indicated that they will rebook me if I do not make the flight. I know the trip to the airport shouldn't take more than about 45 minutes, but I don't know exactly when I can disembark after a 7 AM arrival.
