Good morning, I live here and had no idea we even had a river cruise company sailing from here......... wow......that is a surprise. I can tell you, the only pier I know about is the one where Carnival docks. I would suggest you contact the cruise line and tell them you need this information.

DaveinCharlotte Posted October 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2022 We have been on the Star three times, Baltimore to Jacksonville once, and Jacksonville-Jacksonville twice. Each time, we embarked/disembarked at the same spot: Downtown Jacksonville, East Coastline Dr, in front of the Hyatt Regency. We stayed at the Hampton Inn across the river, relatively inexpensive room and parking, about a 3/4 mile walk to the ship. The ACL cruise docs will specify where the ship will be.

Hi Dave, you must have really enjoyed yourselves if you have sailed her 3 times! I may have to take a look and see what she is all about........15 minutes to downtown, that would be my quickest embarkation of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaumD Posted October 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2022 When we took the star from Jacksonville to Charleston this past spring, we embarked at Amelia Island. It appears some cruises start in Jacksonville and some start in Amelia Island. You need to check with ACL to see which starting point for your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndfred Posted November 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Checked with ACL in MidNovember and they did not know at that time where the departure would be for the 4/23 departure from ? to Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndfred Posted January 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2023 We are going on the 4/29/2023 ICW cruise from Fernandina Beach to Baltimore. Both the cruise line and our agent told us Fernandina Beach. When I called a hotel in Fenandina Beach they indicated that the cruise line did depart from there. Now, I am trying to get information on the parking since we want to ship our car to Maryland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaumD Posted January 26, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Stayed at a Hampton Inn across the street from the pier. Maybe they would let you leave your car there for a few days. 19 S 2nd St, Amelia Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndfred Posted February 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2023 BaumD: Thanks for the info. We are booked at the Hampton Inn and I will call there if we leave from Fernandina Beach. Expecting an answer from ACL tomorrow, 2/21/23, as to exact location. How did you like the Star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndfred Posted February 21, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2023 BaumD: Just saw you are from Maryland. We are from Centreville, MD. Picture of the dog should have triggered a question of your location. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
