Embarkation time at Red Hook?

[fastfingers2red]

Can anyone tell me how early we can get in line and get on the ship? I don't want to wait at the pier too early if Princess doesn't start processing at a certain time.

Thank you!

We arrived at 11:30 and were on board by 11:45....Not bad! Keep in mind though, there were no passengers disembarking that day.

we got there at 10:30-11:00 and we only had to wait a little while before we could board, there were passengers disembarking from the previous cruise

We were there about 11:30 and were able to get on the ship immediately. Our friends got there about 12:30 and had to wait 30-45 minutes due to rough waters causing the ship to bounce back and forth against the gangways. On most cruises I've been on, we've been able to get on the ship before noon w/o any problem.

Have a great cruise!

The terminal in Brooklyn was great! Probably the smoothest I ever encountered. We checked in at about 10:30, and we were on the ship a little after 11.

We parked at Red Hook at 12 Noon. We boarded the Crown at 12:30 P.M.

 

Customs & Immigration really has the power to say when the previous passengers can disembark. On some other cruises, we've had to wait for them to get the ok to disembark so that delayed embarkation for the new passengers.

 

Red Hook was a pleasure regarding embarkation, debarkation, and parking. It was $164, including tax, for the parking on a 9 day sailing. We were about the middle of the people getting off the ship. We were in our car at 9:50 A.M.

 

Our cabin was starboard so we faced the Statue of Liberty going & returning.

 

Hope this info is helpful.
