JLCMOM Posted June 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Does it ever fill? We are planning on arriving right around 12:30-1pm depending on traffic. We live less then a hour drive and have a small child that will not wait well, therefore we would like to arrive after the rush to get on the boat to be able to just walk on. My fear is the parking at the pier will fill. Ever happen to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted June 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2017 No one has ever reported the parking to be full. It is rooftop parking on three piers. You might have to park on top of another pier, but a 12:30 arrival is not so late. It costs $40/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanct Posted June 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2017 We just returned home from our amazing cruise on the Sunshine!! We arrived around 10:30 and was literally the 9th car in the lot. When we departed, half the lot was still empty...I know this because our balcony overlooked the lot. I wouldn't worry too much about it filling up. P.S...I had exact cash for the 8 days ($320) but they also accept credit cards. Have fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted June 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2017 And in a freak instance if it is full there are other parking places in the vicinity that you can use if you had to. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted June 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If there a few ships leaving the day you are there can be local traffic in the immediate vicinity of the Cruise Terminal. Just mentioning it so you will not be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenquixote66 Posted June 29, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2017 There is always heavy traffic in the immediate area regardless of how many ships are leaving from the port . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted June 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I was on one cruise where the lots were filled and one passenger in our Roll Call said they were turned away. This is most likely to happen in the summer or fall when three or four ships can be in port on the same day. I've also seen several times when cars had to park on the entrance ramp roadway that connects the individual pier parking lots. You don't want to park on that roadway in the winter. Cars can get plowed in if there's a decent sized snowfall. The parking lots don't run out of space very often, but it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted June 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I can't say whether it ever fills, or not, but when we pulled out a couple of weeks ago there were plenty of spots still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted June 29, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I've also seen special events on the roof of Pier 92 (third most north pier used only when a lot of ships are calling) so it could not be used for overflow parking if there was a need. While I never experienced a "sell out" there is a slight possibility, if I would take the bet and still arrive late if I was in your shoes just have a backup plan. .

Rare mking8288 Posted June 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Mid/late Saturday afternoon at LGA would mostly be arrivals and it's typically the slowest day of the week in total # of flights scheduled for takeoffs & landings. Haven't look at airline status but for ORD, it would most likely be UA (as one of their main hubs) or AA - if you are on a regional partner's flight #, I'm sure you know that even bigger pieces of carry-on won't fit the OH bins & are typically gate-checked, and will be delivered downstairs at arrival's & not at the jetbridge/gate - it is a short 5 minutes walk in-between & they usually come out fairly quickly.

hardingk Posted July 9, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Is the parking per night or per day? We are sailing on an 8 night cruise, so would it be $320 to park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted July 9, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Is the parking per night or per day? We are sailing on an 8 night cruise, so would it be $320 to park? Yes. The pier parking is private for cruisers only and they charge by the number of cruise nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
