10:30 A.M. NEWARK FLIGHT OFF OF ANTHEM

[hlfrps]

Is a 10:30 am flight too early getting off Anthem, flight out of Newark.  We can do self assist.

If you get off early and go right to the airport you might make it.  I don’t think it is a very good idea though,  you need to time to go through security etc.

If you can be off the ship and on your way to the airport by 7:30am (or 8am if the weekend), then you should make it.  You do not have much margin for delay.

I think it is possible, but I don't know if I would risk it. Less traffic on a weekend will make things easier. Slower going if you are trying to get to Newark on a weekday at morning rush hour. Most of the time you will be off the ship as scheduled, but there are the times when you are delayed an hour, and that can mess you up.

How are you getting to EWR.

If you do self debarkation at 7-7:30ma you should have no problems.  Bayonne has been using Facial Recognition Technology and on our August sail, it was one of the quickest exit I ever experienced.  Newark Airport is only about 15-20 minutes from the pier.  Also, going to the airport are going against the NYC traffic.

Got off the Anthem this morning. Self assist started at 7:45. You’ll need to take a cab - the 8am Royal transfer bus to Newark left around 9:20.

There are also vans in the taxi parking lot that takes you to airport, if interested.

thanks everyone.  We decided to take the 11:29 flight.

Anyone know if RC/Anthum offers the luggage express service to the airport?

[DaniDanielle]

Pretty sure they don’t

You can easily make the flight. Like a previous poster said, "EWR is only 15-20 minutes away from Cape Liberty". Also, even on work days (Mon- Fri), the traffic is moving in the opposite direction at that hour. Everyone is heading into NYC.

What airline?   If United I would say NO.. others... maybe.. to you have TSA PreCheck?   Is this on a Thursday or saturday?    will the stars be aligned?   Today disembarkation started at 745, last time I was there it didn't start until almost 845 due to CBP not clearing the ship as quick.    

 

Take it from someone who lives in NJ and frequents EWR.... unless you have a good backup plan and can afford any charges due to missing the original flight, don't chance it.  Besides, you just spent time relaxing on a ship, now you want to get all stressed out rushing to EWR ???
