Disembark question

[Hev1128]

We have a ride picking us up in NYC after Escape cruise. What time should we have them meet us. We dont want to walk off I dont think....

You don't want to walk off. The lines are long inside the ship. The trip down the gangway is long. Then you wait in the terminal to get down into the baggage hall. Let the porters take the bags all the way off the ship. Then stand in line at customs.

Agreed. I wish we knew this beforehand. Listen to the Bird

Ok. No walkoff. What time should I tell our ride to meet us?

If you'll have a car service, just call them when you get through customs. That's what we usually do. You really can't gauge what time you'll actually get off the ship.

Walked off the Escape with my luggage a week ago. I had an ideal walkoff. Here is my timeline:

7:45 - Ship cleared customs

7:57 - left my cabin (14 aft)

8:38 - was walking out of the terminal.

 

Pick up is across the street on 12th Avenue.

If you are under the customs limits, you no longer have to fill out a customs declaration.

Disembarkation was forward, but once we cleared customs we were told we could go aft as well - you still wound up walking towards, and leaving, forward, but it seemed to still be faster that way as my cousin who left well before me got out maybe 2 min before me.

 

Good luck and enjoy your cruise.
