cjpj Posted June 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Is an 1130 flight from LGA doable? This would be a Saturday with the ship docking at 6 am. Also, what's the best transportation from Port to LGA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their itineraries always say "Manhattan or Brooklyn", but it's almost certain you would be at Brooklyn. AFAIK, Princess only use the MCT if the ship is in New York as a port stop. For Embarkation and Disembarkation, they use Red Hook/Brooklyn. We'll be using Brooklyn for the first time, in September on the Enchanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a quick look at the 2022 port schedule and unless I overlooked something there's only one Princess cruise this year that will dock in Manhattan. @cjpj if you tell us exactly what cruise you're on it will be easy to verify whether it's docking in Brooklyn or Manhattan. If it's Brooklyn an 11:30 flight from LGA is doable, but keep in mind that docking at 6 am doesn't mean you'll be able to disembark that early. Actually even from Manhattan an 11:30 flight from LGA can be done if everything goes according to schedule but I'd do early self disembarkation and book a car service such as Dial 7 or Carmel Limo in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enchanted arriving Sept 17. Can do walk off and was thinking of a car service. Can a car service access the port?

Can a car service access the port? You'll definitely be docking in Brooklyn. The ship will be starting a series of one week Canada/New England cruises from Brooklyn on that date. Here's the port schedule https://www.nycruise.com/schedule/ . You're on a transatlantic cruise coming from Southampton. From your itinerary I see the ship stops in Boston before New York, which means you'll clear immigration there, leaving only customs clearance in Brooklyn, and that is normally a very cursory process. That means you should be able to disembark pretty quickly and maybe you don't even have to do walk off. Yes, car services can access the port as can Uber/Lyft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought, but given this is a TA arriving for the Enchanted's first visit of the year to the US, there may be some extra Coast Guard inspections, maybe some COVID health inspections, deep cleaning etc. thrown in there as well. It will probably delay our boarding (we are on the Canada/NE trip on the 17th), but would the extra "bureaucracy" inherent in a ship's first arrival of the year somehow delay disembarkation as well?

In my experience those types of "extras' only potentially delay embarking passengers, not disembarkations. You want everyone off the ship ASAP if there's a Coast Guard inspection or extra cleaning to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
