NCL Escape Manhattan parking

[calmpets]

So Manhattan does not allow reservations for parking. Has anyone ever arrived there for their cruise and discovered the garage was full?

New York parking questions.

I've never had a problem, but it's all about timing.

 

If you get there too early, the lot has to empty out after the previous cruise, so it may be full.

 

If you get there too late, it may be full of passengers for your cruise -- and besides, come on, you're missing the buffet!

 

We've always arrived at around 11 AM and have had no issues finding a spot.

You will be fine, there is also overflow parking at 90 and 92. We usually arrive around 9:30.

PARK RIGHT  using them for years . Look into their " white glove ". About 5 blocks away. Go to them , they bring you back to pier with luggage. Returning , call them from customs. Car is brought to you across the street 1block up and you leave in your car !!!

This is the first time I'm sailing from NY. I'm using a car service. What address/pier do I give the driver, or is 'Escape' enough?

I’d tell them “Manhattan Cruise Terminal, Pier 88”.

dropping off never a problem at the pier. Suggestion would be if using a pvte driver , have him meet you across the street/ 1 block up for picking up.

Drop off is second level and disembarkation/customs is on street level so you just walk across street
