We are sailing out of Brooklyn Red Hook cruise port on the MSC Meraviglia on July 9. We are seniors but taking our 10 year old grandson. We are coming from Massachusetts so we are trying to decide on parking at pier or taking Amtrak day before and stay in NY City without breaking the bank. How safe is our car at cruise port. We could stay in CT day before and then drive to the port. My husband is concerned if when we arrive if there is no parking available what will we do. Any suggestions or advice would be great.

We are leaving out of Brooklyn NY Red Hook cruise terminal and can’t find much info on park sleep and fly which most cruise ports have. I imagine because it is NY that there isn’t any. My travel agent can only find transfers from JFK and it is $44 each way=$264, which seems pricey. We are debating just driving to the port and parking at the pier. Parking at the pier is $240. We are coming from Massachusetts so not interested in flying. This is our first cruise with MSC, and we are bringing our 10 year old grandson. We are both seniors so don’t feel comfortable with public transportation. Thanks for any info that you can give me.
