I agree..take a taxi. We went from Princess to Celebrity Reflection in December. Too far/too compicated to walk. Got off the ship around 8:45 a.m. Took a taxi to Celebrity Reflection Pier 29. Some confusion there dropping off, but there was a place to drop off our luggage, and we found the line up to get into the terminal. We were surprised to have about 10 people in front of us. They let us in Terminal building at 9:50, we went through security around 10:00, were checked in by 10:15 and boarded the ship at about 10:50. We did have the first check in booked (11:30)
