Pick up in Mahattan Saturday

[yankeechick78]

I have a few questions. I need to pick up my parents this Saturday Does anyone know how many cruise ships will be there? I dropped them off last Saturday and had no issues. Trying to save them the $125 dollars that car serves want to charge.

 

I am not that far from the port. So I am I better off waiting till they tell me they are disembarking to leave?

 

What time does the port get crowded?

The Norwegian Gem will be the only ship in port. Here's the schedule:

If you're close to the port it would make sense to have them call you, since you can never be sure of exactly when they'll disembark. With only one ship, you shouldn't encounter any traffic problems due specifically to cruise passengers.

Great thanks. Yeah it only takes about 20-30 minutes. So I'll wait till they tell me they're disembarking.
