I wonder if there are usually spaces on evening ferries ... for travelers without reservations.
Parece que as chances são razoavelmente boas. Seria prudente ter um plano de backup.

I won't post as an answer b/c I don't have any official documentation to show for it, but in my experience: Cross Sound Ferry is particularly flexible with ticketing. If you're running late, you'll likely be able to call ahead and change your reservation. If you arrive at the terminal early, you'll be able to "stand by" for spots freed up by no-shows. (Neither of these methods is guaranteed.)

It's also worth noting that there are scheduled departures at 8, 9, and 9:30 that evening; and currently (around noon on a weekday in July) there are still 42 spots available on tonight's 8 PM ferry.
