Amsterdam port arrival 6 a.m. Will I be able to catch 9:15flight to NJ?

I would say no. For international flights you should be at the airport at least 2.5 hours ahead. Even if you are able to carry your bags off yourself, this would be really tight. A little more information would be helpful.

Port arrival of 6am does not mean you can get off the ship at 6am even carrying your own bags. We left the ship in Amsterdam two weeks ago and with no flight to catch we got off at 8:30am and found a 45 minute wait for a cab.....when we went to Schipol Airport a few days later we found the place to be huge. The walk from United's check in point to the gates was 30 minutes even using the moving walk ways. So, no, it is almost impossible to make that 9am flight.

We flew home from Amsterdam after our cruise on Sihouette on May 16th.

We had a taxi waiting at eight. We left the ship at 7:30. The problem is the airport. You have to stand in a very long long line ( took an hour) to check your bags in ( all airlines use the same line). Then you have to go through security at your gate. Another long line. ( also a check your passport line in between those two) Our flight was at 10:55. We had no time to spare.

Isn't the check in time for intercontinental flights 3 hrs before and continental flights 2 hrs before the flight departure?

Like all the others have said; 9am is way to tight.
