artvlay Posted November 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2022 My friends are on an Anthem cruise the week before we go on ours. I was thinking if i bring their car to them at 8am is there a place that we can wait at the terminal until our 10am checkin time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he many times we have been there they let people INTO the terminal based on the scheduled time. Was different back in the small ship era but they TRY to keep it orderly now. Ask them to get off the ship at the end of their disembarkation schedule while they stay warm inside.

BND Posted November 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2022 There used to be a waiting room outside the terminal with seating, but last I heard it was closed. It was for people waiting for rides. But, you can't just go sit in the terminal as there is no place to sit until after you go through security and go upstairs to check in. You can't even get into the terminal until they officially open for check in. You can stand outside, but do you really want to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You check in at street level at Cape Liberty and sit in chairs at the same level until it is time to board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really doesn't matter. But, you still can't go in and sit unless the terminal is open and they let you in. The main point of my post was they USED to have a room outside the terminal where people could sit and wait for rides, but that's been gone a while.

LOL Okay, good luck checking in upstairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking if i bring their car to them at 8am is there a place that we can wait at the terminal until our 10am checkin time? I arrived at Cape Liberty in October at 9:30 with a 10:30 boarding time. There was no enforcement of boarding times. Cruisers were allowed into the terminal and directed to seating areas after checking in. Boarding the ship, which started about 10:25, was not done by appointment time but by the row you were sitting in. There are some benches outside the terminal building with no protection form the weather. The best place to wait, to be protected from the weather, would be at the Starbucks on Goldsborough Dr. It is 2 miles away and across from Costco. You would need taxi or Uber back to the terminal.

Correct. There is no 'upstairs' at the terminal, not that it matters.😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know what you're talking about-it was like a little structure to the left of the doors to enter, sort of in front of the exit. It was there shortly after the new terminal opened and it went away a year or so later I think....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted December 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If it is a nice day you can stay outside. There is a 911 memorial and a nice view of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
