mina518 Posted October 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2017 we are sailing on the breakaway in a few weeks. If I'm reading correctly it looks like we arrive to NYC at 8am. What time can guest start getting off the ship? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted October 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Usually 30 minutes after docked and cleared. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted October 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2017 the ship actually arrives around 7am and disembark begins around 8 or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uneamie Posted October 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Great!!! Thanks so much. Trying to plan out times so I can schedule our van service.Debarkation is a process that varies in timing. Sometimes it takes an hour, sometimes way longer. I suggest you give your van service a heads up about that and or tell them you will call them when it gets close to the time you will be disembarking.

Rare BirdTravels Posted October 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2017 we are sailing on the breakaway in a few weeks. If I'm reading correctly it looks like we arrive to NYC at 8am. What time can guest start getting off the ship? Thanks If you are able to reasonably carry all of your luggage yourself down the gangway, through the terminal, down into the baggage hall, and through customs, the no later than 8:00. The ship is usually early. If you go around 8:30-9:00, the line to get down into customs is long and they will not allow you to enter the area (you line up in the terminal hallway before the escalators for 30+ minutes.)

Rare Keith1010 Posted October 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Debarkation is a process that varies in timing. Sometimes it takes an hour, sometimes way longer. I suggest you give your van service a heads up about that and or tell them you will call them when it gets close to the time you will be disembarking. You are absolutely correct and this is excellent advice. I would allow extra time, particularly as some companies will charge more money if they wait for a long time and by having the phone numbers it will be easier to find them as they can't park right outside the terminal area.

mkmaj Posted October 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2017 We did self assist, took off as soon as they made the announcement, and were on the street by 8:03. If you don't go the second they announce, you could be in for quite a long wait judging from the crowd that grew behind us and reports from others on here.

PelicanBill Posted October 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2017 There was a report recently that Breakaway is trying to reduce the chaos that is self-disembark. Last fall we found a line that stretched the length of the ship. Once they started, it was a half hour for us and longer for others. I think more and more people are doing this instead of sending their luggage out the night before. Now they are issuing color coded timed window tags for self-disembark to try to space the crowd out.

Rare BostonGal35 Posted October 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 2, 2017 with the exception of one time (the sailing where BA was stuck on the Hudson, unable to turn) we've always been docked by 7, and in our car by 8am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamkam97 Posted October 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Opposite end of the question, if you can walk off with all your (or not even if someone knows the answer) things- what is the latest you can get off the ship if your in no rush?

mina518 Posted October 2, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thank you!!! We won't be doing self disembark because there are too many of us...10. We just wait for our number/color to be called. Has anyone driven in and parked at the terminal? If so, what is the cost and was it too chaotic?
