Epiro Funchal Posted December 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2013 When can I expect to be off the ship if I choose to cart my own stuff off the ship? (in NYC) Would I have the option to leave at my leisure? If this is the case, at what time would I have to disembark by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted December 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) The times can vary a lot, some times it can be as early as around 7am or 8am, sometimes the arrival could be delayed and you could get out only an hour or two later. (That happened to Gem in NYC recently.) Usually the last passengers are wanted out from the ship around 10am and it applies to all passengers regardless of their chosen method of luggage handling.

MikeyB Posted December 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I believe walk offs were allowed to leave at about 7:30am today. Yellow tags began at 8:30am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centrevillemom Posted December 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2013 We headed down to deck 7 at 850, and out of the port by 930 walking out with our own luggage. This was with a delay for about 10-15mins due to a back up in the terminal being too crowed. When we got to deck 7, there wasn't that big of a line, maybe 30-40 ahead of us, and it moved really quick once we got moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibcnusoon Posted December 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Walk-offs started at about 7:15am when we arrived back in NYC on the Breakaway last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted December 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2013 If you are not in any hurry, leave your luggage out, and just pick a disembarking time. We took our luggage off once when we were in a hurry, and there was a huge delay. We find it might easier to let them deal with the luggage, and then grab a porter when we gather it up at the pier (saves a lot of time at customs - worth the tip).

Epiro Funchal Posted December 18, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted December 18, 2013 We headed down to deck 7 at 850, and out of the port by 930 walking out with our own luggage.

There may be someone to pick me up upon disembarkation. It sounds like I should allot about 45 min or maybe a little more to be on the curb. So if I go to deck 7 by 9 AM I should on the street by 9:45. In case I need to cross the road, are there any pedestrian crossings nearby? How about 48th st, if that's where the Breakaway docks?
