Which pier for Jewel

[mycruise2]

Sorry if this gets posted twice...have't done this before.

Can't seem to find out which pier the Jewel will depart from on 10/18 even after several calls to NCL.

 

Does anyone know? We need to advise our limo service.Thanks!

The Jewel departs from the pier in Manhattan - 711 12th Avenue, New York 10019. Hope that helps.

 

We'll be on the same cruise.

Your limo service is wrong on this. all cars/limos have to enter at one motor entrance for all three piers which is at 54th street and 12th avenue then as you drive down the terminal they will have signs up for which berth the ship is in. It can vary from week to week. Ships don't have permanently assigned berths and they can wind up at any of the five berths on any given day. The answer for the limo service is the cruise terminal at 48-52nd street and 12th avenue where the motor entrance is at 54th street

Thanks! I suppose the driver would know to watch for the signs...the shuttle reservation people are not local NY. Now I know I don't need to know exactly which pier.

I can pretty much guarntee you that Jewel will be in Pier 88 along with the Spirit which will also be in Pier 88 that day as well, Pier 88 is basically for NCL and is designed to have two ships in at once with check-in for them both in the same area...it really works out good.

while this is probably true, the motor entrance is still at 54th street and it isn't always true that the NCL ships leave from Pier 88 north or south.

well this week there is a second aircraft carrier(besides the Intrepid which is at pier 86 south) at Pier 88 North which I think also closes pier 90 south as well.

 

So as I said while most of the time NCL uses the north side of Pier 88, it won't be doing so this weekend and given security concerns the chances are they will have the ships use the other pier(90 North and 92 south)

I was looking at WorldShipNY's web site where they show the schedule for all three NY ports for the year, and 18 Oct looks like a busy day!:)

 

Besides the Norwegian Jewel and the Norwegian Spirit, the Carnival Miracle will be making her final arrival for the season, before repositioning to her winter port (without passengers, so will leave early). Also at Manhattan will be the P&O Artemis, the original Royal Princess.

Coincidentally, the new Royal Princess, originally one of the Rennaissance 'R' series, will be docked at Brooklyn.

And finally, Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas will be docked at Bayonne.

I am wondering what this second aircraft carrier you're referring to is?

[smeyer418]

the number 4 is lit on its side. Believe me its a second aircraft/helicopter carrier. Its bigger and wider than the Intrepid. I believe Military ships aren't shown on the commercial ship websites.

Not sure what ship it was but it forced the Spirit to pier 90

this may be it. Its larger than the Intrepid.

 

and the North side of Pier 90 is where the Spirit went.

This looks like the USS Wasp which I toured during Fleet Week 2007. I doubt that she will be here more than a few days, and certainly will be gone before 18 Oct.

[smeyer418]

the Wasp and the Boxer are from the same class of ships and probably look very similar. The 4 on the side says its LHD-4. The Wasp is LHD-1

 

PS this is a wasp class ship which means that the Wasp was the first in the design which may have changed but not enough to say that is a new class i.e. outwardly looking very similar.

 

My only point on this is that the berth announced for 18 October is not guaranteed. Things change...as does the weather.

[bob brown]

You're right! But I hope the weather on 18Oct is something like today, as I am sailing away on the Jewel!:)
