Allow a time buffer
Plan for at least 90 minutes between Manhattan pickup and cruise sail time during peak hours to accommodate traffic and terminal processing.
Label and consolidate luggage
Use durable tags and consolidate bags—the van has ample space but door-to-deck transitions are easier with fewer pieces.
Bring ID and cruise docs
Have passport and cruise boarding documents ready on your phone or printed to speed terminal check-in.
Expect variable traffic
Avoid rush-hour pickups (weekday mornings 7–9am, evenings 4–7pm) when possible; drivers can choose alternate crossings to shave minutes.
Government photo ID (passport or driver’s license)
Required for cruise check-in and terminal access.
Mobile phone with cruise e-docs
Speeds boarding at the terminal and lets the driver coordinate pickup details.
Secure luggage with tags
Easier loading/unloading and reduces the chance of misplaced bags during transfers.
Light travel daypack
Keeps essentials—wallet, meds, documents—within reach during the transfer and terminal lines.
