quote:Cunard to begin using Brooklyn piers for transatlanticsApril 15, 2005By Rebecca TobinNEW YORK -- Starting next year, Cunard Line’s transatlantic service will terminate in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan. The Queen Mary 2 is among the ships that will use the new Brooklyn cruise terminals, which are part of a master plan to relieve congestion at the Manhattan cruise piers. Princess Cruises also will call Brooklyn home during the port’s inaugural year; summer cruises on the Crown Princess will sail roundtrip from the new pier. Both Cunard and Princess are under Carnival Corp.’s P&O Princess Cruises International division. The lines will relocate calls from Manhattan beginning in April 2006. The berths are currently under construction in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood. The city said that construction at the pier is “progressing rapidly;” plans call for the existing pier shed to be renovated into a cruise terminal this summer.Travel Weekly
