Drop-Off
Where does the car drop me at Manhattan Cruise Terminal?
Cars enter Manhattan Cruise Terminal from the north at 55th Street and 12th Avenue. The entrance is not at Pier 88 on 48th Street. Use the 55th Street entrance shown in the NYCEDC terminal directions (checked Nov 8, 2026). The terminal has Piers 88 and 90, and the entrance instruction applies to the terminal approach rather than a particular pier. Give the driver the terminal name and pier shown on your cruise documents. Your chauffeur loads and unloads your bags at airports, piers and hotels.
Pickup Timing
What time should I book my pickup after disembarkation?
At Manhattan Cruise Terminal, ships arrive between 7 and 8 AM, porters are on duty by 9 AM, and passengers who parked are usually through customs and off the property by 10 to 10:30 AM, according to NYCEDC Cruise NYC (checked Nov 8, 2026). Select a pickup window based on your ship’s disembarkation group and allow time for customs, bags and traffic. You set the pickup time: we suggest 60 to 90 minutes after the ship’s scheduled arrival, or call dispatch once you’re off the ship. The regular 15-minute grace period applies, then waiting is billed per minute at the vehicle’s hourly rate divided by 60.
Airports
Can you take us straight from the ship to the airport?
Yes. A chauffeur can take you from any of the 3 cruise terminals to JFK, LaGuardia or Newark. Request the ride with your flight details; the airport leg is flight-tracked in real time. Pier-to-airport fares are not listed in the rate table; use the online quote form or call (888) 883-8180 for the route price. Cape Liberty is in Bayonne, New Jersey, so enter that port as the pickup location when requesting a quote.
Can you pick us up at the airport and take us to the ship?
Yes. Chauffeur Service NYC provides rides from the airport to any of the 3 cruise terminals with real-time flight tracking. Free airport waiting is 60 minutes for domestic flights and 90 minutes for international flights, counted from landing; flight delays before landing do not use the waiting time. Curbside pickup is included. Inside-terminal meet-and-greet service with a name sign is $25. Allow time for baggage claim, traffic and your cruise line’s check-in cutoff.
Passengers can reach the pier by a private transfer from the airport or by a direct ride from their hotel, with airline flights tracked in real time.
Luggage
Which vehicle fits cruise luggage?
Choose from the published passenger and bag capacities: an Executive Sedan carries 2 passengers and 2 bags; a Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series carries 3 passengers and 2 bags; a Chevrolet Suburban or Cadillac Escalade ESV carries 6 passengers and 6 bags; an Executive Sprinter carries 13 passengers and 14 bags.
