In the DR, if you’ve never been there before, I would strongly recommend the City Tour through Iguana Mama. We did an excellent five hour tour a few years ago. Mike

Parking at Red Hook Brooklyn Cruise Terminal for MSC cruise...
Mike C replied to tmatero's topic in MSC Cruises
Parking in Brooklyn is in an open lot directly across from the cruise terminal. It is an industrial area, so a little tricky to find. I believe the new rates are $45 per day. What day of the week are you cruising? There will definitely be more traffic in the city if you’re leaving on a weekday. -
We stayed there a few years ago. There are a few different room types, such as ocean view, etc. so make sure the price you see quoted is for the room you’re interested in. We enjoyed our stay; plenty of food choices in the area.

I’ve read about people lining it with a plastic bag to increase its strength

Schedule was available at Excursion desk and in the dailies last November

We sailed on the Meraviglia from Manhattan in October 2019. There was a white tent outside the terminal to drop off your bags. There is a lounge in the terminal that NCL uses for their Haven guests as well. Not sure if Brooklyn had a VIP area.

There might be a cap on the charge. At the pier in Manhattan there’s a max charge of 400.

I’ve never done it, but some people will stay in lower Manhattan the night before and then head to Brooklyn in the morning

Parking is in a lot directly across from the terminal. No need to worry about having to drop off your luggage. The terminal is located in a bit of an industrial area and not visible from the street. Not sure of the price since I haven’t from their since pre-pandemic. Enjoy your cruise

The steward will give you the minimum number of pods he can. On the day we extras left over, I put them inside the cabinet out of sight so he would give us four replacements. Midway through the cruise they switched from the round coffee pods which fit perfectly to square which you had to squeeze into the coffee maker.

We did the 10 minute walk outside of Amber Cove a year ago to meet a tour provider. No problem. When you are returned to the same spot to be dropped off, there will be a cab available can can enter and drop you off much closer to the ship. I think it was $5 a person. Definitely worth it.

You can definitely smell exhaust at Spice, but I wouldn’t say it’s not usable. We’ve been out here the last 2 mornings.

I confirmed last night in Cagney’s that you can no longer take your dessert to go after dinner. I was told it is for “The safety and health of the cruisers.” The first night at La Cucina I was told I couldn’t take my cannolis to go since “they might cause an accident.” I was able to get them to my room wrapped up in a napkin. No one was injured. Mike

We stopped there on the Gem last year. I would strongly recommend just tendering to the beach and spending the day there. We took an excursion there. We had to tender to the beach dock and then take a ferry to La Romana. The ferry took 45 minutes.

Thank you for taking us along Get home safe -
@Laszlo I believe you're heading over to Trunk Bay at St Thomas. If you have time, check out Parodeejay on YouTube. They just posted a video on their day trip there. Mike
