Any tips for dropping off 2 passengers at Cape Liberty cruise terminal, one using a mobility scooter.

[fair-winds39]

 

We will be dropping off a passenger who uses a mobility scooter at Cape Liberty cruise terminal. We have never cruised from that port and we will not be accompanying the 2 passengers, one of whom uses the scooter. Is there signage directing drivers where to go? I’m guessing we first drop off the luggage someplace,  and then we drop off passengers at terminal in a different area?  We won’t be parking, just dropping off. Any help or tips will be appreciated. Also posted on Disabled travel. Thank you.

It's very straight forward at Cape Liberty. Compared to Manhattan, Miami, or other places you may have cruised from it is tiny and only handles one ship at a time. There is a long drive to drop off at that is covered from the elements, where luggage can be deposited, and then one main entrance into the terminal itself for check in.

Thank you. Wish they were leaving from Baltimore. Not looking forward to drive from Philly up the turnpike.

Can you think of anyone who would prefer to not drive on the NJ Turnpike -- if there were any alternative?

NJTP to exit 14A. At exit 14A stay to your left at the toll booths. Go up the ramp, follow signs for 440/Chosin Few Way. Stay in right lane. Ignore the small sign pointing to Cape Liberty via 440. Turn right onto Chosin Few Way at the split with 440.

 

Chosin Few Way to the end which is Goldsborough Dr. Turn left. It is 2 miles to the terminal. Part of Goldsborough Dr. was recently repaved but the majority of the 1 lane road is in poor condition.... drive slow.

 

As you approach the terminal, the 1 lane becomes 2. The luggage drop zone is first, the terminal can be walked to easily from the luggage zone, maybe 30 yards. I have never looked for a wheelchair cut out in front of the terminal but there has to be one. I know there is one before the luggage zone with room for a vehicle to pull over without impacting traffic. I would not recommend using it though as there has to be a wheelchair cut in front of the terminal.

At the right time of the day the turnpike is easy.

• There is a very wide handicap cutout at Cape Liberty. It is past the luggage zone and just past the entrance to the terminal. It is marked by the crosswalk in the road and the overhead white canopy that covers both travel lanes. Stay in the right lane after dropping luggage.
