Parking at Manhattan Cruise Terminal

[lindacat]

I will be sailing on Carnival Venezia in June of 2024.  I have cruised out of the Manhattan cruise terminal twice before.  The first time, ( pre-pandemic) they did not offer the option to reserve a spot.  When we arrived it was fairly easy to get  to the ship.  We pulled in a porter took our checked luggage and we took an elevator to check in.

 

Last year when we went on the Venezia, we reserved a spot.  The attendants directed us into a different lane.  When we parked we were not in the lot adjacent to the ship like we were last time, and there were no porters to assist with luggage.  I will be traveling with my 83yo mom who will need a wheelchair to get on the ship. 

 

I am not sure if the reserved lot was in a different location  than the non- reserved lot of if just the passage of time changed the logistics of parking in the terminal.

 

I am trying to decide if we should reserve spots again,  but if that is the reason we were not in the adjacent lot, then I will wait and hope for the best on embarkation day.  Does anyone hear know the answer or who I can contact to find out the answer.

I think it’s hit or miss. We’ve sailed out of nyc 4 times, there was never a porter on the parking deck level, we usually arrived close to 9 - 9:30. I think just depends if a porter happened to be there dropping off luggage. This was before reservations.
