Tutone56 Posted July 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2023 My brother-in-law has graciously offered to drop us off at the terminal and pick us up the following Sunday. We'll be coming from Ridgefield Ct. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming we'll just follow traffic, etc. for the drop off. Where is the best place for him to meet us? I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for him (and us). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drop off is simple, but a pick up at MCT can be a nightmare - especially if there are several thousand passengers debarking with you. Our approach is to arrange to meet our ride near the corner of West 49th Street (which is midway between piers 88 and 90) and the east side of 12th Avenue. We pick a time - say 9:30 or so, and walk across to the east side of 12th Ave and then call our ride , who will be hanging out nearby - and can come westbound on 49th and pick us up, then turn right on 12th.

That sounds good, I’ll look at google maps so I can get a better idea of the area, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you FYI, since you're on an NCL cruise your ship will most likely depart from Pier 88. That doesn't change the answers already given...your driver will be able to drop you right at the entrance to the pier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gate is open when the cruiseport is active. It is locked when there are no departures or arrivals as it leads to the parking lot and other secure areas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Line Posted July 12, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 12, 2023 No gate on the lower level on the right, trucks make deliveries when the ships aren't there or there is a need to access piers when private ships are using them like a foreign navy ship visit and they don't need to use the upper levels of the pier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
