Cape Liberty arrival to EWR

[Biaggio]

Hello. Cruise schedule shows arrival at the end of the cruise at 7 am. Can I make a 9 am flight if I walk off with my luggage? Thanks.

That is cutting it extremely close.  I would assume at least 30 minutes to get to the airport, so you would have about 1 hour to get through security and get to the gate before the plane doors close.  I personally would never attempt to catch a flight before 11am.

Thanks, I’ll stick with my 2 pm departure.

I recently did 11am flight and made it with no problem.  Walked off ship and was at airport in 20 minutes.

7am is arrival time, not disembarking time. That would be no earlier than 7:30. Also your 9am flight will board around 8:20 have doors shut by 8:50. That gives you less than 90 minutes to disembark, clear customs, hitch a ride, escape port traffic, get through airport traffic, and get through airport security. I even gave you the benefit of NOT checking bags at the airport. And even this assumes it only takes 30 minutes for the ship to be cleared AND it arrives on time. I personally would even dream of cutting it that close

There is never a guarantee that you will get in and be cleared by 7am. Weather, crowded port etc could delay. I always tell my clients to never book a departure flight before Noon.
