All (especially Persy), need some reassurance:

I had to book a tight connection on an upcoming NCL cruise from Copenhagen.

It is scheduled ti disembark at 07:00 and our flight is at 09:20. We travel light so will only have carry-ons, so I am hoping Percy's insight of just scrambling to be the first off will work.

Thoughts?

It's a diaster waiting to happen.

Flight time 9:20, boarding time 8:50; check in time 8:20, and if it is international flight, 7:50, and you have to clear security within this time frame.

Assuming ship docks at 6 am, clear for disemabrk at 7 am.

Assuming you are the first one off at 7 am, 10 minutes total to clear custom and walk to cab stand. That would be 7:10 am.

Cab travel time to airport from dock is 35 - 45 minutes depending on traffic. That would take you to 7:45 - 7:55.
If it is a saturday or Sunday, you may just make it. If it is on a weekday, you are guaranteed to miss it.

Copenhagen airport is a busy airport. I wouldn't chance it for anything prior to noon departure. Stay overnight adn do soem sight seeing.

Agree with E. that's really pushing it. I would try for a later flight or as he says just go the next day.

BTW E sorry about your Bruins. They are great, great team. Their style of play is tough, strong and very physical and they scared the crap out of me. I felt until the last horn that this series could go either way. Even though we went 7 with the Wings I think the Bruins were a tougher test.

Yes Larry, rub it in. Less than 2 minutes to go and game 7 could have gone either way. There is no other way to say it but "They choked". They won't make it to the finals next year.
