Megabus from Philadelphia to NY

Anyone use this? I've heard good and bad but need to get to NY from Philadelphia or Delaware June 7th. This will be the morning of my cruise as hotels are so expensive to travel the day before. Schedule shows it gets into NY at 10:35 so that should give me plenty of time.....I'm hoping no bus problems!

Given the choice between bus and train, I would take the train...probably costs more, but even with the chance of a late train, I think you'd be better off....

Not really a fan of buses...at least with the train, you've got a little more room to walk around...and a snack if you want....

I have used Megabus from Baltimore to NY. No problems. While I prefer train, the bus was like a quarter of the price. Make sure you leave enough extra time to account for traffic.

If we do take the Megabus it gets into NY at 10:25 a.m. so even with traffic I think we'll be okay. IF the bus is an hour late to pick us up.....IF the bus breaks down....LOL

Have not taken the Megabus from Philly, but we have taken the Megbus to NYC. I think chances of it being late are a LOT less then train being late. Even if you are an hr late (which would be VERY unusual)..no problem getting to the cruise terminal in ample time. If the Philly to NYC Megabus lets you off where other Megabuses let you off, it shouldn't be more then a 15-20 minute cab ride over to the cruise ship terminal.
