I can answer that This is correct, but you don't have to walk a few blocks. You just have to cross 12th Avenue and meet your car on the northbound side.

Thanks! Is it pedestrian friendly? We have 3 kids and will have all our luggage with us (unless a porter will follow us that far).

Yes. There is a clearly marked crosswalk with walk/don't walk signage.

Has this changed since fall 2017? Our car service picked us up outside of the terminal at street level, and we saw a number of cruise passengers do the same. We did not have to cross 12th Ave.

Was it easy to figure out which driver was yours? I assume they are holding signs?

The local car service we used (we live in NJ) had us text them when we were off the ship and had their company sign in the car window.

Our driver picked us up right on front of the terminal too. We didn’t have to walk anywhere. He was driving a black unmarked Suburban, so maybe that’s why???

Our driver has always picked us up at the terminal - there's no reason we need to traipse anywhere with our luggage. Our drivers typically pick us up on the lower (street) level but there is a pick-up area (and taxi stand) on one of the upper levels. Car services that make you cross over to them are doing it for their convenience - they cannot park and wait at the terminal so they usually wait on the street and have you come find them -- I refuse to use a service that would do this.

Thank you both! This is exactly what I was trying to figure out. For some reason all I could find online were reports from people who said you had to cross the street. I'll verify with the service that I want to be picked up at the terminal.

When we got off the Magic in September we crossed the street. Maybe it was, easier to avoid the congestion
