Wyoming2010 Posted July 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We've sailed from this port three times, but have a question for other cruisers who've sailed from there. Do you know what the earliest time we can arrive is where parking will be open? We have arrived at 11 a.m. in the past and always gotten a parking space, but were wondering if we arrived at 10 a.m. would we be as lucky. Not sure how quickly passengers get to their cars and leave. Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted July 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We usually arrive at about 9:30 and there are always lots of parking spaces available. Most ships will have been disembarking passengers for quite some time by then. Of course if your ship isn't scheduled to dock until 10 am it may be a different story...but most ships dock by 7 or 8.

Rare Turtles06 Posted July 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We’ve had the same experience as njhorseman — usually arrive around 9:30, no problem getting a spot. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisakoivu Posted July 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2018 To answer in reverse, when I disembark in Manhattan, I've always been in my car by 7:45 am. There are others like me. Those spots are available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OndaBoat Posted September 17, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2018 We got there at 11am on a Weds, there was plenty of parking. It was the quickest Embarkation/Debarkations ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyoming2010 Posted September 17, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted September 17, 2018 We did arrive at 9:45 and there was not only plenty of parking, but the quickest check in ever. Will do it earlier in the future -- much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted September 17, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Suggest reviewing the Manhattan Cruise Terminal schedule and see how many other ships are arriving/departing on the same day as the OP's departure. This might give an idea of the volume of passengers. https://www.nycruise.com/schedule/ PS The schedule now only goes through December 2018. Next years will be posted sometime later this year.

We've arrived when there were three ships boarding on that day -- it only affects the line waiting to enter the terminal, but that is well controlled with lights and police directing traffic. Which is why after this year we will be doing the 9:30 arrival again -- the line to enter was so much shorter. The number of ships in port does not affect your parking ability as each ship has it's own terminal and parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
