Thinking of cruising from Philly. Has anyone driven from NY to the Philadelphia Pier/docks or know the name of the terminal. Thank you

We live in northern NJ, very close to the George Washington Bridge. Have cruised out of Philly a few times. We always take Air Brook. It is about a 1 1/2 drive from our house. Not bad at all. Google "Port of Philadelphia" and you will get directions. Have a great cruise!
