Brooklyn Cruise Terminal to Newark airport

[debbiek]

We are looking at a 12:45 pm flight out of Newark on Saturday October 7. Our ship gets into Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at 6 am. We have transfers with Princess to the airport. What time do the buses start for the airports?

It's sort of a rolling thing based on what your disembarkation group is, which will correspond to your bus, and then that bus will only leave for the airport once it is full. That can happen quickly sometimes and it can take some time at others-- no way to predict how long that part takes. 

 

Even though your ship arrives at 6am it will take some time to clear and folks will not be realistically disembarking until 7am at the earliest (and those passengers will be the ones carrying their own luggage off with private transportation). Given that most cruise lines won't guarantee an airport transfer for flights before noon and sometimes even before 1pm, the busses get going fairly quickly but certainly not the second the ship gets cleared.
