What Cape Liberty Cruise Port publishes about this sailing
Sailing dates published by Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises — the line's own schedule, not a port authority's. A sailing that is sold out or closed to online booking can be missing, most often within about two months of departure, so confirm yours with the line. Checked Sep 13, 2026.

Only as the source publishes it — never counted off the next departure.
Your cruise line's window wins
Most cruise lines assign an arrival window during online check-in — set yours as soon as check-in opens, since the best slots go first. Don't arrive before your window opens: terminals typically hold early arrivals outside, so getting there early buys you nothing. Experienced cruisers most often point to early afternoon, once the first rush has cleared, as the smoothest time to walk in. Follow the check-in instructions your cruise line sends you — they always take priority over general guidance.
Provenance: Cruise line schedule — Cape Liberty Cruise Port. Boarding guidance is CruiseDayGuide editorial, not a published time.
