tbtma Posted September 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Hi Folks, we cruise out of NYC but always had a car service drop us off. This time we are driving ourselves in. Can anyone recommend a parking lot/ garage near the peir? I understand NCL has their own peir right there but that its first come, first served basis,no reservations. We didn't want to get there with nothing available so we are looking to make a reservation....close. TIA Bonzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deweytrader Posted September 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I have parked at the NYC port numerous times and it has never been full, the price is $40/day and it is super convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted September 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2022 https://www.google.com/search?q=parking+near+manhattan+cruise+terminal&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS1006US1006&oq=parking+near+manhattan+cruise+terminal&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j0i22i30l6j0i390.6440j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 According to that there isn't a whole lot in really close proximity, you're looking at a walk of a couple blocks unless you use the terminal parking.

We've never had an issue getting parking at the pier, even in the height of the pre-COVID summer season. If Pier 88 is full, they'll have you park over at Pier 90. We usually arrive around 11 AM at the pier, and have always had our pick of spots. And you truly cannot beat the convenience when it comes to disembarkation day. It's pricey, but worth it.

The ramp to parking is right off 12th Ave between 54th & 55th. You drive up, pay, then drive down farther to pier 88. Their will be security there with a dog. We have parked there 5 times and its always the same. You pull it, pop your trunk or hatch, and security and the dog walk around your car. As soon as you are clear you can pull over to the right and take your bags out.... leave one person with them (do this quickly) as not to create a backup. You'll be right next to the elevator to take you down. Go park, come back to the elevator go down, then outside to the porters. Drop your checked bags off, come back in the building and get in line for security and check in. The above it pre covid, IDK if anything has changed Edited September 20, 2022 by Laszlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted September 20, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I suppose we need to know your definition of close? We typically park our car the night before cruising out of Manhattan, so the pier isn't an option for us (at least I don't think they let you park there the night before). We've used two garages within a few blocks of the pier - both are between $30 - $35 per night. Just be sure to ask if they have any deals for extended parking or you'll get the daily rate which is a bit higher. We don't mind walking a few blocks as we never have more than one carry on suitcase and two backpacks between us. 1. In April we used the garage at 670 W 43rd St. - https://parkright.com/670-w-43-st-new-york.shtml 2. In September we used the garage at 550 West 45h St. - https://www.gmcparking.com/locations-rates/midtown/west-45th-street/ I hope that helps!

mjkacmom Posted September 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2022 We live 10 miles away, always park at the pier. In NYC most cars bigger than a civic are considered oversized vehicles and have a surcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AACJ Posted September 22, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I found a video some blogger put out a few weeks ago, showing his trip from NJ to the terminal, it answers a LOT of questions about this port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
