Passengers arrive at the street level of the pier where their cruise
vessel is berthed. Buses will park in slots at the front of the pier.
Passengers can access the second-level Customs Hall via either of two
large passenger elevators or the escalators at the street entrance of
the piers. Baggage will be moved directly from buses to the vessel.
- From Limousines:
Passengers will be dropped off by arriving limousines in the receiving
area at street level - directly in front of the pier where their cruise
vessel is berthed. Access the Customs Hall by using either of the two
passenger elevators at the head of each pier, or use the escalator on
the south side of the entrance area. Baggage will be received by porters
directly from their limousine and moved to the vessel.
- From Taxis:
Passengers arriving by taxi will be driven up the 54th Street Viaduct Ramp
to the receiving area adjacent to their cruise vessel's berth. Their baggage
will be received there by porters and taken to the vessel.
- From Private Vehicles:
Passengers arriving by private vehicle should drive up the Viaduct Ramp to
the receiving area adjacent to their cruise vessel's berth. Signs identifying
the vessel are posted on pillars nearest the proper berth. Baggage will be
received there by porters and taken directly to the vessel.
All passengers should then proceed to complete the boarding process
at the embarkation desks of the cruise line, which are positioned inside
the customs hall.
Disembarking
