A: PART3... The port's rooftop lot charges 45/day tax and local fees included. It is self park you keep your keys. You pay at the time of online reservation.
Answered by maryred on August 27, 2024
A: PART2....Or drive direct to the rooftop lot @ the port, ask a porter waiting at the elevator for bag drop offs, if they will follow your car & take the luggage from you at the parking spot. There's no guarantee the porter will leave his post, so in a... pinch you would need to be able to wheel your luggage through the lot to the elevator.See More
Answered by maryred on August 27, 2024
A: PART1....You could check your luggage w/ the curbside porter at the passenger drop off area, exit the port's private rd. back on to 12th, loop around, then re-enter the private rd to head to the parking area, maybe taking an extra 45-60 minutes of dr... iving in NYC traffic. Just to note you need to reserve the rooftop parking and there is no way to indicate you need an HC spot.See More

Answered by maryred on August 28, 2024
A: PART4... Offsite parking is available but the discount you think your getting for parking 3-4 blocks away from the pedestrian entry is tempered by the fact that the per day price is shown without taxes and local fees which are added at the end. Also,... they are valet garages & lots, you leave your keys, & sometimes long-term parking gets moved to another location from your drop off point, if they are a busy daily parking area.See More

Answered by ccgal6 on April 10, 2024
A: By taxi (sedan or minivan)figure between $65-95. For XL sized rideshares between $55-175 or for DX $85-200, the big range is due to the prevalence of surge pricing between 6a-11a for commuter traffic. For car service $90-155, depends on sedan or suv/... van. These are per vehicle & include the toll charges and tax but not the tip. Check NCL's offering of a shuttleSee More

A: When you pick your onboard time about 3 weeks before your cruise. They stagger onboard times to avoid people having to wait in long lines.
Answered by lucindancarl on March 27, 2024
A: Did this last year. We had check in time of 10. No boarding started till 10.45 for haven. You can put down a time but they don’t start at that time.
Answered by doddser on April 8, 2024
A: Unfortunately there is no way to definitively say when the ship will board. It depends on if it arrives on time, how long it takes customs to clear it and how long it takes for everyone to disembark. Usually around 11 from my experience, but that can... vary greatly.See More

A: I am now scheduled for check in at 9:30 am for my upcoming Bermuda cruise but I doubt they'll board that early so I probably will be sitting and waiting for a bit.

A: Pier 88 is NCL's primary in NY. It has rooftop parking at $45/night. GPS driving directions to the ramp for parking use 711 12th Ave, as 35 Hudson Greemwsy is for pedestrian walk in only. Less expensive off site parking available if you reserve onlin... e & willing to walk to port from Icon on 10th Ave and 48th St. Confusing advertising that Icon on 38th is closer, that's for Circleline cruises.See More

A: A lot of passengers just stay at the "Lodge Red Hook" and walk to the the Brooklyn Cruise Port. It's a 10 minute walk right down the street.

A: Oh yes thank you, as far as I can tell Norwegian sails out of the Manhattan port…
Answered by Bdonkey13 on September 7, 2023
A: @kelskazoo22Not sure how long you've been following hotel prices in Brooklyn or other areas of NYC, but all of them are sky high for what you get. But Red Hook Inn is about as close as you can get to the port. I'm flying in the night before my crui... se and hang out at the airport and take the metro/bus to Brooklyn early the next morning. Or depending on how I feel, get a room at the Red Hook Inn that night and walk over to the port the following morning.See More
Answered by Skooby on September 6, 2023
A: It depends on which port you leave from. There are hotels close to the Manhattan cruise port. Even if you are not as close as you want you can Uber or lift.
Answered by seviedebi on September 7, 2023
A: Lodge Red Hook but prepare to pay $$$. We’re finding it less expensive to fly in from Boston early morning than doing hotel. Yes it’s risky but we have a backup just in case!

A: Hi fellow cruiser. If you’re leaving from Brooklyn terminal I would suggest Hotel Indigo in Williamsburg BK, an Uber from there will prob run you from $30 to $46 dep on the time of the day you call & the day of the week. Also, the correct address fo... r Bk port terminal is 210 Clinton Wharf. From Manhattan would recommend anything in the mid-town vicinity. Happy Cruising ⚓️🤩🛳️See More

Answered by gtbaap on September 2, 2023
A: We stay at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Manhattan/Central Park. It is 1 mile from the terminal, a 5 min drive or a 10 min walk which is super easy even with luggage. No shuttle but would be super cheap for a taxi if you didn’t want to walk.

Answered by cbc30781 on July 2, 2023
A: No, only the 3 area airports. From the Port Authority bus terminal either a taxi or rideshare is your best bet to travel the 1.5 miles between the 2 points. If coming in by 1 if the discount bus companies you generally don't get dropped off at the bu... s terminal but again from anywhere in Manhattan it's best for a taxi or rideshare.See More

A: I did a Google search and found off-site parking for $14 a day, they got good reviews. Port parking is ridiculous!
Answered by Tinacruises77 on April 9, 2023
A: If you live in the area or within the tri-state area, think about hiring an Uber or Lyft to get you to the terminal and pick you up. Otherwise, it’s $315 plus tax, and it’s probably about the same. I’m hiring a driver coming from CT, and it’s $300 fo... r drop off and pick up. Beats getting to NYC by bus or train (RT), spending the night in a hotel, then getting a cab to the port, then back to the bus or train station after the cruise (approx. $650). That $315 plus tax for parking is looking a lot better.See More
Answered by TheBigSalad on April 14, 2023
A: For the Manhatten terminal, if you reserve and pay ahead at the port authority website for the terminal, parking is discounted. see link at https://nycruise.com/manhattan-terminal/parking . Brooklyn is not yet live with a reservation website so that... remains at the full price for parking.See More
Answered by maryred on April 14, 2023
A: Be careful if parking on the street. NYC has street cleaning at least once a week and you have to move your car for it. Read the signs.
Answered by Sheilasta on April 13, 2023
A: There are hotels that if you stay for one night you can park in their lot at a significantly cheaper rate! Stay and Fly they often call them.

A: Normally MSC leaves from the Brooklyn Terminal, but currently that is being used to house asylum seekers ship to NY by Texas. You may need to contact the cruise line direct closer to your sail date to confirm Brooklyn or if changed to Manhattan. Bayo... nne for the foreseeable future will remain exclusive to Royal Caribbean and her affiliates.See More

Q: I'll be leaving with NCL from NY in April. I will arrive in NY the evening before departure and stay overnight close to LaGuardia Airport. I booked the NCL shuttle from LGA to Port for the next morning. Is there any NCL desk at the airport?
Thumbs Up

A: There is not an actual desk, but usually a little kiosk stand with normally 2 folks, one of which has a sign. Read your documentation from the cruise line, it should have instructions on what to do in your situation, including arrival time at the a... irport. The representatives will be in the baggage claim area. Prepare for a wait, since they fill up the vehicle before it will leave.See More

A: From info I found from 10 years ago, it cost $50 to $65. Maybe call your hotel they may know the current rate and/or other options other than a taxi. Maybe look into Uber, too.
Answered by esrescuer on January 28, 2023
A: Depending on the time of day your flight comes in, the commute from the airport to Weehawken is long, especially with different road projects going on. Weehawken has nice restaurants and you can see the NY port from there. Your ride might be pricey b... ut enjoy your travels.See More
