What Cruise Travelers Say

Our driver arrived at 5:30 AM sharp for our 9 AM sailing. He loaded all four suitcases, drove us to Pier 88, and even helped coordinate with the porters. Stress-free start to our vacation.

Patricia & Robert D.

Manhattan Cruise Terminal

Red Hook is impossible to get to by subway. Black Car NYC picked us up from our Brooklyn Heights apartment and had us at the terminal in 15 minutes. Worth every penny vs fighting for a cab.

Jennifer M.

Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

We flew into JFK the morning of our cruise. Black Car NYC was waiting at arrivals, and we went straight to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. Seamless connection from plane to ship.

David & Susan K.

JFK to Pier 88

Six of us with 8 suitcases. The Escalade fit everything perfectly. After a week at sea, having a car waiting at Red Hook instead of dealing with taxis was the perfect end to our trip.
