What is an alternative for parking at New York instead of the pier if you are not staying at a hotel 

We are going in Oct. for back to back cruises. First time with MSC my question if you would answer is what I've looked at is the dress code. Is it as strict as it says dresses for the MDR on regular evenings. I would for the formal sit is the norm as suit, cocktail dresses or more. FYI there is 5 of us for both weeks and 9 for the first and we are 40's plus no children. Thanks for your time
