Cruising4 Posted February 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2017 11pm on night 6 of 7. Nothing about disembark other than a small print blurb advising to watch channel 14 tomorrow. No tags... Every other cruise line was forthcoming with options. Doing everything I can to avoid guest services! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaylemh Posted February 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I was on the 2/7/17 12 night cruise. We didn't get anything until the morning of day 12 when the cabin was cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swoopy2110 Posted February 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Why don't you ask guest services who will likely be able to give you a better answer than a load of people who aren't on board on a forum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the people here know more than those at guest services and I don't need to stand in that slow moving line. I never considered we'd get the information in the morning on the last sea day. I was off by a day in my original message, it's been a great cruise and my brain is mush! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted February 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I was also on the 2/7 cruise with Gail. I spoke to the taxi dispatcher to find out about what they offer for transportation to EWR. He said shared transportation was $20/pp. Taxi dispatcher folks are stationed at the exit from customs to arrange this (they are no longer across the drop off lanes on the bus island). Apparently the local taxis/shuttles are all staged in the large open parking lot across from the parking garage. This means you would have to be able to roll your luggage just a bit to get to them. Probably not much more of a walk than getting to the opposite end of the bus islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekmcsd Posted February 25, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 25, 2017 You should get them after your last evening meal. Any time before that is a buzz kill! I hate seeing them, it means that it's time to get back to reality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a solo traveler, do I just walk up to the Taxi dispatcher and ask for Shared transportation or must I arrange prior to debarkation. I don't want to end up as a solo in a taxi :).

My understanding is that you just walk up and ask for a transfer to EWR for one in a shared shuttle. If you want more details I would try calling: Bayonne City Yellow Cab 201-339-5000 You might have to wait a little. The one time I needed a shuttle ride was to the light rail station and I had to wait a bit until they had a few people who wanted to go locally to either the light rail or the Stop and Shop shopping center. However I would imagine a shared shuttle to EWR would be popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 25, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Perfect, I'm self-debarkation. I've got TSA pre-check and a 12:45 Delta flight. What time would you debark?

I'm not the best person to ask because I never fly from Newark. What day of the week would you be doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 25, 2017 #18 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Sunday. Our ship is sold out, so I expect that to be crowded, but there shouldn't be too much traffic. One final question about debarkation (I promise). Is there a better position to be in in terms of aft/forward for debarkation and going through customs? I'm carry on luggage only and my cabin is mid ship so I can head to either end of the ship to get off. I sailed Epic few months ago and while they debarked both forward/aft, the TSA checkpoints were WAY aft so those that went forward (like me) ended up backtracking entire length of ship (I needed the exercise anyway, but it also caused us to wait in a longer line). Thanks Carol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Carol! The ship usually backs in, so the aft is closer to the customs area of the terminal. I self disembarked at 7 am, literally walked straight through customs with no line, was picked up by a shuttle at 7:45, and was at a hotel on the north side of the airport at 8:10. There was a staggering amount of luggage waiting in customs already! I have no idea how long it would take to find a bag that was not properly sorted to the correct number.

easyboy Posted February 25, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 25, 2017 You could also ask you steward to when the info gets dropped off. Next to Guest Services, the cabin steward is presumed to be a reliable source of this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted February 26, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Why don't you ask guest services who will likely be able to give you a better answer than a load of people who aren't on board on a forum ? With all due respect, but the tags and information for debarkation are left in your stateroom the day prior to debarkation. For those that cruise a lot, they do know the answer!!!
