consulate docks ferry

I didn't do much of a search on this forum so I apologize if I'm beating this topic to death

How do you ferry to Consulate Docks with either non-nightfall/nightfall characters? I've heard some methods but I'm coming up empty handed when I try them.

I've heard that you need to get the quest "The Time is Nigh" from Puuba in the Sunspear Great Hall and then you gain access to the Consulate Docks. From here I'm assuming you then never finish the quest so that you may repeatedly enter Consulate Docks (CD) with whomever is in your party. I've done CD with a non-nightfall character but can no longer take other party members there if they don't have the "Nigh" quest. I've completed that quest with this same character as well. Is this the only way to ferry to CD?

Thanx for any help,

Basically yeah, you accept the quest that takes you to Consulate Docks, load up on people in Kamadan, do the quest, and then abandonl it when you get there instead of taking the reward. Rinse and repeat.
