PleasantProspects Posted January 3, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks to Cruise Critic and Crepidula I learned on 4/29/06 I return from World Cruise to Brooklyn-not New York! Cunard has not told me or the Travel Agent of this change and I leave this Monday. Prior departure material was also incorrect. Cunard is a poor communicator! Only address given has been Pier 12, Brooklyn, NY. Can anyone provide a street address or simply driving directions. People picking me up will come to New York up Rt. 95 from Phild. & Balto. direction. Thanks. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomKel Posted January 4, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2006 The directions posted by SanFranBayCruiser assumes Manhattan as a starting point. Wouldn't the people traveling north on I-95 from Philadelphia be better off by using exit 13 onto 278 and crossing over the Verrazano Narrows bridge into Brooklyn?

SanFranBayCruiser Posted January 4, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2006 If the poster above has better directions, I suggest posting them instead of criticizing others who are only trying to be helpful with what they were able to find using an internet search.
