How early to arrive for the Queen Departure

Post by Mallard1 »

Hello, I have a trip leaving copper harbor tomorrow and the ferry is scheduled to depart at 8:00 am.

I am taking a taxi from Houghton at 6:00 am and should arrive around 7:00 am. Is that enough time to board?

Thanks in advance!

An hour is plenty. They should drop you off right at the dock. Just curious though, don't they tell you on the ticket or when you booked?

About 3 or 4 years ago, a guy and his young daughter arrived (via taxi) about an hour before the Queen left. They were supposed to fly out. Make sure you have a pill or two for motion sickness. I shared mine with them, forgot to take mine. They and I had a nice trip and hike on the island. Enjoy your trip.
