New Images from Cape Liberty

[megr1125]

So I went up today on the way BACK from NYC and dropping people off for Breakaway.....figured I would do some recon for all of you here at CC.....

 

By the time I got there, the departing pax were gone, so there was no one at the taxi dispatch booth for me to ask questions regarding the posted transportation prices, and the sign was not there....

 

However, I did get some shots of the pier, the parking lot, drop off and pick up area...and the like...

 

Here you are...feel free to ask any questions... I may be there next Sunday on my way into NYC to pick up my friends....

 

 

Here is your new garage

Thank you for these! Will be driving there this coming Saturday to get on the Liberty OTS. How far is the walk from parking to terminal?

100 yards or so......not sure.. I would suggest dropping off your stuff, then send one person to park ...there IS a shuttle from the lot, but it's really not far....putting it in city terms, much less than a block.

[megr1125]

Lookie here!

 

:D:p

Just wanted to add my name to the many who are grateful for the pics of Cape Liberty, especially this last one showing the distance of the parking lot. The port sure looks better than when I cruised out of there in 2013! People like you are what makes CC such a great site. Thanks again!

Thanks Meg ... Doesn't look like a bad walk at all. We're originally from Brooklyn, so we should be able to handle a block or two. LOL

Looking at the new terminal building, where is the garage going?

See where the cranes are in the back/center of the image a few posts up? That's where it's going...it will be at the 'returning to port' end of the terminal......

[megr1125]

I can't remember if I posted the link to the rest of the pix.. I only added a few here...plus there are some of Summit at the pier

 

HERE is the link to the rest!

Thanks. Did you notice any restrooms after you exit the secure area?

There ARE restrooms outside the terminal...they're not in any of the pix...BUT if you come outside and then turn around like you're walking towards where they are building the garage, you will see them, sort of near the Dasani machine...

 

 

I THINK that there are some in the baggage claim area of the terminal, but it's been a couple months and I forget...:eek:

Don' take for granted that you will be in this lot. With two ships in, they are parking people pretty far away in a different lot past where the old terminal is. I do not think they will let you walk it since you are walking where there is active traffic and no sidewalk. The shuttle would be a good idea from this lot.

Well, I was not cruising but i walked all over there yesterday and no one said a word......they were using the closer lot for Summit and it wasn't very full, though Summit is a smaller ship....

 

But yes, if they are using the farther lot....which is not really seen in any image, then the shuttle might be needed, if not required....

I see the cranes, they look to be over were the old terminal building is/was. Did they demolish that building?

There'll be 2 ships in?!?! Wow, this should be interesting. Never cruised before :(

Of course if we have to, we will take the shuttle.

Two ships are never in at the same time, as there's only one berth at the cruise terminal, and we're already into the season where two ships are using the port, Liberty of the Seas and Summit. Two ships have used the port in the summer for years without causing parking problems, so the only possible issue with parking might be because the Liberty is bigger than the Explorer.
