Veendam NYC Disembark Pick-Up Time

[Brancine]

Trying to decide what time to make car service reservations for pick-up on our upcoming Bermuda cruise. We live locally and won't be in any particular rush to get off. Thanks.

Does this mean you won't be offloading your own luggage? This will make a difference.

[Brancine]

No, we won't be taking off our own luggage.

If you are having someone pick you up -- arrange for them to be at the pier by 9 AM.

 

Everyone has to be off the ship by about 10 AM if all has gone well.

There isn't really anyplace for people picking you up to wait in NYC at the pier. We had our limo driver wait at the next street and we called him when we were exiting the pier. Then he came up the ramp and got us.

They all have spots to "hide" in. Because the ships are nose-in and not parallel to the ramps, each ship gets very little "frontage" for pick-up and drop-off, and experienced drivers know that.

 

To the OP, be sure that your driver believes you. Veendam disembarks its pax early than other ships. Your driver may not think it's possible for you to get off the ship as early as you will. Our driver was late picking us up, because he had never had a pickup so early and figured we were wrong when we gave him a time.

We docked promptly at 7 AM. We were in the third group off the ship. It was quick and easy and we were on the street at 8:50. We had arranged for a 9:30 pick up. I would suggest 9AM.

Thanks, we were thinking 9-9:30, just wanted to be sure.
