Treasure Hunter Posted July 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Leaving in September on Emerald Princess for New England/Canada. Does Princess ever leave from Westside Manhattan or only from Brooklyn? Can’t get a definitive answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted July 31, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I have read in the past that Manhattan may be used if the stop is a mid-cruise port day, but Red Hook is the start/stop port. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were hoping it would be Manhattan. We were on the Regal Princess TA at the end of the Baltic season in 2017. Due to a hurricane, we skipped two ports and arrived in New York a day early. We first went to Manhattan for our added port day, then re-positioned overnight to disembark at the Brooklyn port. And they did have tours for our Manhattan port day including the “walk the Brooklyn Bridge” for a ridiculous $80. But it sounded like fun so I did it … but on my own as having grown up in northern NJ and knowing they NYC subway very well, I knew I could do it for $5.50 (two subway fares) plus the time to walk to/from Times Square. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendy Posted August 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Only time/s I have been at Manhattan port was on World cruises when it was either a one day stop or an overnight, August 14 cruise to Greenland leaving from Brooklyn so I get to see that area.

sewgood Posted August 1, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I think that the old Sun Class ships (Sea, Sun and Dawn) use to use the Manhattan terminal for the world cruise. They were smaller ships than the grand and Royal class. Perhaps it has to do with the ship size as to what Princess ships call into Manhattan pier on a port day. 12 hours ago, Doug R. said: Brooklyn Terminal | NYCruise I see that Coral Princess is booked in on the 16/17th of August. Thanks for the above link, it gives plenty of bus numbers for getting to Central station from the pier. Very handy for the WC passengers from down under. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendy Posted August 1, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2023 You can walk from the port to Times Square, so central. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had cruised out of Manhattan a few times before Brooklyn pier/Red Hook was built. This was on the Grand class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
