This was my first time leaving from Manhattan, and it was very easy! We drove in from Long Island and parked at the pier. Very convenient.

By the way, this was the sailing when the ship crashed into the pier when docking back in NY. We didn't feel a thing onboard, and no one got hurt. Just the pier lol
