Rare Greenpea2 Posted October 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I have always cruised out of NYC (lived in NJ) so never had to worry about flights. Now I live in NC and am cruising in February on the Prima. The "latest" departure flight back home from Orlando airport is 11:30 am. If I can get off the ship early, I know that is doable, as I believe it takes about 45 minutes to get from the port to the airport in Orlando. I just don't know when "early disembarkation" is because I never had to do that. I will be in the Haven, if that makes any difference. Can someone tell me the probable earliest time we would be allowed to get off the ship? I realize things can come up, the ship being late, and all that -- just looking to find out the earliest we could leave in a normal scenario. Thanks so much!

complawyer Posted October 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2022 if youre in a haven suite, talk to your concierge he can get you off the ship and on your way in record time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, while the people in the havens are still waiting for a concierge during a disembarkation crush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the disembarkation schedule for the Prima today. We had a scheduled arrival time in NYC of 7:00 am. We actually docked around 4:30 am.

Rare Greenpea2 Posted October 15, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Oh this is great! Thanks so much. We are Sapphire so it looks like 8:15. That should work. If we think that's too close I guess we could do the 7:45 self-assist. If we do that I guess we have top decide the night before, yes? Thank you BirdTravels--I feel better. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasure Hunter Posted October 15, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 15, 2022 When in the Haven , speak to the concierge, we were able to take the crew elevator as soon as the self assist started to leave. Haven luggage is the first off the ship. If it is your first US port and you need to clear customs , get a porter. For a $10 tip they will by pass all lines and take you directly to a taxi.

Yes the porter is a good idea--good point. We did that in NY, so will def do that this time too. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasure Hunter Posted October 16, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2022 You do not need the chart. You will get gold Haven luggage tags and you can leave any time you want with an escort to the front of the line. The porter is key. You will be out of the terminal in five minutes.

Prima Haven does not use the crew elevators...they use their own aft elevators. But once downstairs (at least in NYC), they had their own exit and gangway so we got out very quickly.
