Handicapped pick up at Manhattan cruise terminal?

[DaisyGoldberg]

We will be cruising out of NYC next month and while I've done so before, I haven't done it with a person in a wheelchair.  I don't anticipate a problem with drop off (and she can walk short distances), but will be juggling a suitcase, 2 carry ons, a walker, and the wheelchair, which given my memories of exiting the terminal and crossing 12th ave could prove challenging.  I know we can utilize a porter, and I recall seeing some porters actually taking luggage across the street for people, but I'm not sure we can count on that to our pickup point. 

 

If there a special lane for handicapped pick ups where our car service could get us? Thanks for any answers/suggestions!
