jucaha Posted September 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2018 can anyone tell me about picking up passengers off princess ships at the Brooklyn cruise terminal? Is there good signage/directions? Can we pull right up to terminal? Do you know what would be a good time to pick them up (to avoid airport transfer traffic). Thank you for any all advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted September 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2018 You can pull up to the terminal. Watch for signs, there are separate lines for dropoff, pickup, and buses. Here is a picture I took from on deck. You can see the terminal on the left, then drop off lane, pickup lane, and bus lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted September 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2018 can anyone tell me about picking up passengers off princess ships at the Brooklyn cruise terminal? Is there good signage/directions? Are you asking about good signage for getting to the Red Hook pier area itself? If so, the answer is no. Figure out your route to the cruise terminal in advance.

138east Posted September 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Are you asking about good signage for getting to the Red Hook pier area itself? If so, the answer is no. Figure out your route to the cruise terminal in advance. Comments have also been made about issues with relying exclusively on navigation devices. OP - where will you be coming from and what day of the week would you be doing this? If you provide this info, the New Yorkers who know this area can suggest specific strategies.

JAMESCC Posted September 9, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I wish NCL would enter a partnership with Carnival corporation to use this terminal because the Manhattan terminal they use is just simply awful. This would give us a better alternative to RCI and Cape Liberty. I don't want to sail from that Manhattan terminal again so it's RCI and Cape Liberty most of the time if not all.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk They can't. NCL needs a dedicated terminal because they have two ships sailing from NY year round. There would be too many times when Cunard or Princess would be using the Brooklyn terminal, which has only one pier . The logistics would be impossible, requiring NCL to have numerous sailings that would have to embark in Manhattan and disembark in Brooklyn or vice versa, and they can't do that. Carnival itself doesn't use Brooklyn despite Carnival Corp. holding the rights to use Brooklyn, for the same reason, and they don't even cruise year round from NY. All their ships sail from Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way they need to get out of that too small, too old and congested terminal in Manhattan. That's just my opinion. Just a pain to get into.

We have experienced Manhattan many times in the past with Cunard and HAL and were not thrilled. Though we never as of yet used Cape Liberty, not too thrilled from those friends telling us of their use age. Using BCT for Cunard - QM2 ongoingly now, we very much like the setup and accessibility living only 12 minutes in Brooklyn to BCT. Yes, Cunard and Princess are the dedicated lines to BCT. If you would like to use BCT, try a Cunard or Princess ship.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Congratulations as a lucky one. Neighbor familiar with Cape Liberty went on Anthem in July took about 3/4 hours. Depends on line. At BCT with Cunard in Diamond/Grill Lvl boards one can board in less than 10 minute. If delay, a Grill Lounge is there to accommodate your needs till boarding. BCT also in one building with Gangway to ship compared to Cape Liberty spread out on the their pier to get to ship side. Each company has their own IT system to handle boarding with Status Level. Each passenger appreciates their lines systems.. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
