Asquare Posted July 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2022 We are going on a one week cruise out of New York in mid-October. When do we know which pier they are leaving from, it says Manhattan or Brooklyn? We have yet to make our plane or hotel reservations because we don’t know which pier…we are hoping Brooklyn.

Rare PacnGoNow Posted July 8, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Princess is normally the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Look up your cruise on the port schedule and you can plan accordingly. https://www.nycruise.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted July 8, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 8, 2022 In my opinion it doesn't really matter which pier We are also sailing from NY C and havent been told for August We have a hotel booked in lower Manhattan It is easy to reach either pier from there Id not wait to book a hotel or plane as prices are going up fast I don't see the need to know for sure about the pier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is in the process of moving to Brooklyn and we have to check some additional luggage for her…glad that we won’t be schlepping around NYC with extra bags in tow!

Rare joe/jack Posted July 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Brooklin Cruise Terminal AKA RED HOOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted July 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It has been Brooklyn for years and years and years, pre and post covid. I never could understand why Princess does not list the correct pier they certainly do know as they make pier reservations way in advance. Regarding the need to know the pier. There are 3 NYC airports, JFK, Laguardia and Newark. If you fly into or out of Newark that is a long and difficult drive from Brooklyn. If you stay overnight in Manhattan then it does not matter. Again, why can't Princess get this information accurate? If we know certainly Princess knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 8, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 8, 2022 In the past, if your cruise started in NYC, then they used Brooklyn (aka Red Hook). If NYC was a port of call in the middle of a cruise, the it called on Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we know certainly Princess knows. I suspect it's all about marketing - NYC probably sounds sexier to potential cruisers than Brooklyn. RC does something similarly annoying (to me anyway)...they advertise their cruises from Orlando. Any child old enough to know about Disney World knows that Orlando is nowhere near any ocean. People have heard of Orlando , but Port Canaveral where they actually sail from, 45 miles away, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reasonable explanation why Princess can not indicate the correct pier location in their information. Lack of accurate information is confusing to their customers, and has been going on ever since Princess first used the Brooklyn terminal for embark/disembark around 15 to 20 years ago. Totally unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn is part of NYC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted July 8, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Also, UK cruises say, 'London' but the port is 80 miles away in Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe the text is "Southampton (London)" in their itineraries. Princess does indicate the correct port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
