When the Celebrity cruise comes back into Cape Liberty NJ at 7.00am (New England Cruise 5th Oct sail)- what is approximate time scale that we will be off the ship by - need to know so we can arrange for minivan pick-up?

Do we have breakfast before disembarking - how much time do we have? thanks

PS _ what time is the earliest we will be able to board on the 5th sailing date?

If you are hiring a van service with driver just tell the van company the name of your ship, the date and time of it's scheduled arrival and leave the rest to them. They've no doubt picked up passengers many times before and have it down to a science. They'll be waitng for you wheever you disembark.

Thanks - I sked this query in advance but now I have the car booked to pick us up that is not the case that they know. Yes they know when the ship docks (so do we) but my question is how long afetr that before we get ashore? I know the flights have priority, but I'm asking people in general how long before they left the ship so we have some idea to order the car - waiting times with Limos cost serious money. Thanks in advance.

When we cruised in April, our car company asked us to phone them when we left the ship. They would not simply calculate on their own.

That might work if your car is fairly nearby & you will save any waiting charges.

I just returnrd from Royal Caribbean at Cape Liberty. We arrived in port 7 am , I had white tags which means we got off the ship first, I walked out of the port with my bags at 9:30 AM. My driver was waiting half an hour for me as I called him at 7:30 am and told him I would be one of the first ones off. There were about 12 colored tags, first got off at 9 to 9:30 I can only imagine the last ones got off several hours later. But The explorer of the seas is a larger ship then yours so it shouldn't take as long.

thanks dondiego - thats the type of answer i've been waiting for.
