Where will QE dock in NY on January 16-17?

[babscruiser]

Does anyone know where the Queen Elizabeth will be docking when it does it's overnight in New York on January 16-17? We will be boarding on January 17th and want to be sure whether it will be in Brooklyn or Manhattan.

Thanks, JohnKen3. The trouble is that we called Cunard who said that they "never" cruise from Manhattan. We know that we docked in Manhattan on the QE a few years ago when we returned from a cruise from Los Angeles. Is Cunard once again giving us bad information?

It should be a standing assumption that Cunard shore side doesn't have any idea what the ships will be doing.

I sailed on the QE from Southampton to NYC in 2014 and 2015 and we docked in Manhattan both times. Although it may have happened, I don't recall QE or QV ever docking in Red Hook.

There was a time that Cunard booked exclusively from Manhattan,in the US.

We're meeting family who live in New York, so yet another reason to be getting very excited about the holiday!

Hi,

 

For what it's worth, I did a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Victoria in May 2015 (final segment of the World Cruise) from New York to Southampton. The ship sailed from a Manhattan pier.

We just received our E-Ticket for the trip and it just says "Port: New York" - which could mean either location. Cunard doesn't make it easy for any of us. Regardless, it appears we are all agreed that the QE will be docking in Manhattan (55th Street on the West Side) and we will be boarding there on January 17th. Thanks to all of you who responded to my very first post and I will look forward to meeting Greg and any of the rest of you who will be on that cruise. We are looking forward to getting out of the deep freeze of New York City. Regards, Babscruiser.

It is a shame that Cunard isn't more specific about the embarkation port on their e-tickets. This was also mentioned in the recent "Cunard Newbies" thread about QM2 e-tickets showing the port of departure as simply "New York" as well. But it's even worse that Cunard customer service is giving out wrong information about never departing from Manhattan. Oh well, at least we have the "nycruise.com" web site to keep us straight. Have a great voyage!

Perhaps Cunard should be advised NYC has five boroughs, none of which is called NY. Glad I read this post, as we were thinking Brooklyn port.

Happy New Year, see you all on board.:p

Is it the case that Queen Mary 2 is too large to go in to the Manhattan terminal? It seems that only two ships berth in Brooklyn when in New York?

(The maximum ship length at Manhattan is 1000', but at Brooklyn it is 1135.2′, and QM2 has a length of 1132 feet )

QM2 goes to Manhattan when a Princess ship is in Brooklyn the same day. It doesn't happen often, but Princess does autumn New England/Canada cruises out of Brooklyn.

Princess causes the same concerns on their New York trips....it says either Manhattan OR Brooklyn. No one know where they will be embarking.....Normally Cunard and Princess use Red Hook Brooklyn for embarkation and debarkation, UNLESS they are in transit and use NY as a day stop, then its Manhattan. Lots of folks staying before the cruise book Manhattan then slepp their stuff to Brooklyn
