Disembarking Nieuw Amsterdam

[motravelerken]

Currently on NA and getting off ship in Whittier tomorrow. We have private transport arranged to leave at 9:45 am (no later). Our disembark group will be called at 8:45 am. We are carrying our luggage off ship with us. Will our disembark time allow us to get to our transport by 9:30 am? I think yes and Guest services says “yes” but embark was kind of slow. Just want to make sure.

I think you'll be fine. I haven't disembarked in Whittier, but be prompt and ready with your bags and even queue up to be among the first off.

My experience is that if self carrying your luggage you can leave as soon as the ship is cleared (or any time after until final call).  No need to wait until a disembark time is called.

 

Let me know if I'm wrong on this!
