Johnsy81 Posted July 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Tedd, you may want to check the Cunard board as there's a fair amount of info on the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. I'll be using it for the first time on Sept 2 (QM2 to Halifax). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgiven Posted July 20, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Tedd - I sailed out on the first sailing of the Crown back in June and it was much easier than I could have imagined. I drove from central NJ up the turnpike, through the holland tunnel, a few miles south on the West side highway, through the battery tunnel and the ship is right there after a few u-turns down the service/entrance road. There is ample and secure parking. I believe it is $18 a day, but you can check on their website. The lines and checkin are about what you would expect from any cruise. The terminal is a heck of a lot nicer than the old mid-town one. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madelinerose Posted July 20, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Not at all!!! Our Manhattan hotel charges $55/day with no in/out privileges. There are many parking facilities in Baltimore that charge more than $18/day. We're doing Amtrak and a taxi or car service. Redeemed Amex points for our train tickets. Karen Baltimore Not that expensive for NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodree Posted July 20, 2006 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2006 We sailed from there on may 6. Did not need to park as we live only about 150 miles away and had a limo drop us off. Much cheaper than flying and a whole lot more convienient. Terminal was good and embarkation was smooth and timely. Don`t think you will have any problems.
