Yes, but you will need to exit and turn back in.

It's better to go directly to the parking level and drop off your wife near the elevator just after you enter the parking lot, then park.

If you drop your wife at the pier entrance you have to exit the cruise terminal complex and drive back north on 12th Ave. to 55th St. in order to reenter the cruise terminal. The wait at the traffic light at 12th Ave and 55th St to make the left turn back into the cruise terminal can be substantial.

Good point - drop her at the (very convenient) elevator, have her wait till you park and then join her -  avoiding what could be a time-consuming round-about while she had to wait for you at the more crowded terminal entrance.

I will just echo that the advice in comments 3 and 4 above is spot on.
