Priority disembarking in Manhattan

[Snowrose]

Hi! We're new Gold Latitude members, so on this next cruise we get to priority disembark. How does that work? Can we do it both walk-off and putting our bags out the night before?

Priority Disembarkation just means they you can go to Cruise Next and get Yellow Luggage tags. Yellow will be the first bags moved into the baggage hall. Like most NCL “benefits”,,, there is no real benefit. 
 

You wait in the normal, long lines to exit the ship and the. Get into the customs hall. Only Haven guests are escorted off and sometimes escorted into the customs hall.

If you want to be in the first group off the ship, then you do the walk-off with all of your luggage.  That has nothing to do with priority disembarkation, anyone who can carry their own bags can walk off.

 

If you want to leave your bags out the night before, then see BirdTravels's comment above.   The walk-offs will disembark first, followed by suite guests.   I think that folks with yellow tags should follow after that.   (I hope someone will correct me if that's wrong.)

Thanks, BirdTravels and Turtles06!

The quickest way to get through the customs hall is to get a porter.  They'll get you through fairly quickly, in exchange for a tip, of course.
