Cruise Terminal Transportation NYC with Driver

Luggage for Cruise Groups

Start with the suitcases, because cruise luggage is what fills the van. A family of nine with two-week bags, a wheelchair or a scooter and a cooler of medication is a different load from nine people going to dinner. Count checked bags, carry-ons and mobility gear in separate lines.

The Executive build has a rear luggage bay and is the usual pick. The Limo build has no luggage space, so leave it off the list for sailing days. We confirm the assigned van against your full bag count before you commit.

Manhattan Cruise Terminal Shuttle

The Manhattan Cruise Terminal uses Piers 88 and 90 along 12th Avenue on the West Side. Cruise lines assign arrival windows, and showing up early usually just means waiting on the curb with the luggage. Take the window from your ship's documents and plan the pickup around it.

On the return, getting off the ship runs on the ship's schedule, and we follow it. Give us a phone number for one lead passenger and an estimated release time. Your chauffeur will wait within the booked hours, and we'll reconfirm the plan once you have your tag color and time.

Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

Red Hook is a waterfront neighborhood with narrow streets, warehouses and truck traffic, and it's reached from the BQE and the streets around Hamilton Avenue. Write "Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, Red Hook" on the request so it doesn't get mixed up with the Manhattan pier.

If relatives are joining from Park Slope, Sunset Park or Queens, list the pickups in order and give each person a meeting time about 15 minutes earlier than the van. A single head counter with the phone list keeps the loading quick.

Cape Liberty Bayonne

Cape Liberty is in Bayonne, New Jersey, so the trip crosses a river from Manhattan and Brooklyn. Hotels in Jersey City, Hoboken or Newark can be convenient starting points; travel time depends on the address and traffic. Tell us your exact pickup address and the cruise line's instructions, and we'll price the real distance.

A common plan: fly into Newark, sleep near the port, sail the next day. Send both dates and ask for each leg to be quoted. Returning to a flight? Add its time to the request, since the ship can reach the pier on a different clock than your airline.

JFK/Newark to Cruise Port

Fly in the same day and the timeline gets tight. Give us the flight number, the port and the ship's check-in cutoff together, and add time for baggage claim. International arrivals can spend a while at customs before anyone reaches the curb.

Groups that add a hotel stop for luggage drop should say so upfront. That adds a stop and waiting time, and the quote should reflect it.

Cruise Transportation Pricing

The floor is $600: $200 an hour with a 3-hour minimum. Your quote covers the origin, the terminal, any stops and the return window if you book one. Taxes, tolls and availability can change the final number.

Which terminal plan are you making?

The three ports have different neighborhoods and different logistics. Match your trip to a row and send us those details.

Send your sailing details

Your cruise line tells you when to arrive. We use that to set the pickup, so send the sailing paperwork details, not a guess.

1. 1. Give the ship name, sailing date, terminal and your check-in window.
2. 2. List pickup addresses and every checked bag, carry-on and piece of mobility equipment.
3. 3. For the return, add an estimated release time, an onward address and a phone number for one lead passenger.
4. 4. Review the van type, the pickup instructions and the quote before confirming.
