Parking at the new Red Hook pier for the new Crown Princess .

Hi i just found out about the parking at the new Red Hook pier in
Brooklyn. from my TA John S . It will be on pier 12 $20 a day . I know
the first ship to use the new pier this year will be the QM2 sometime
in april.I'm just wondering if the Crown and QM2 will be the only one's
useing the new pier this year . I know NCL will be moving there . Just
don't know when .Went over to see the pier in the fall It's not in the
greatest plase !! And not that easy to get to . We will be off on the
Crown Princess July 2nd for a 9 day round trip from Brooklyn .We're
really looking forward to this cruise .We loved the Grand Princess .The
Crown should even be better .

You should of told your wife that you could have to deal with a
hurricane in July, just the same as in august(grin). I know, you have
to do what you are both more comfortable with. As much as I would like
for you to cruise with us, I don't want it to be because of a hurricane.

Have you heard anything about how the pier is coming along?

Hi Sue,

I received a report on 1/26. The gist was that the "terminal site is
a mess". Further he said, "The pavement for parking and marshaling
coaches, cars, taxis and supply trucks is all rubble, and the old
cargo shed is devoid of anything within." He also went on to say that
there is a skeletal structure that will be the embarkation facilities.
He indicated it was still just a skeletal structure. He thinks it
will be a real stretch to have this facility ready by the time the
first cruise ship is suppose to embark passengers on 4/15. I am sorry
to be the bearer of such negative news.


Best regards,

No big deal.... for those of us in New Jersey... it's easier to get to Tokyo
than to Brooklyn.

With any luck... the terminal won't be ready for another 3 years... and the
SGC will sail from Manhattan.

Hi Ray i'm was never sure the pier will be ready this year .Looks like
Carnival is not spreading the big bucks around like you have to do in
NYC to get aqnything done . Bayown was up and running in good time for
RCCI !! I'm still hopping the Crown head's back to the city insted od
Brooklyn !!!! As Bad as the piers are in the city they are far and away
better then Red Hook !!! .
