Getting from Staten Island to Times Square

We are going on our cruise in a few months. We chose a Staten Island hotel the night before and will park our car there. We also plan to stay at the hotel for one night after the cruise. Does anyone know the best way to get from Staten Island to Times Square and that area?

You have to get yourselves to the Staten Island ferry, ride across the harbor to South Ferry and take the #1 train to Times Square - figure about 1.5 hours if your transfer connections are good.

Which Staten Island hotel are you staying at and how much is the room with the parking? Where are you driving in from?

Traveling rush hours there is always the X11 Express Bus down Victory Blvd. There are 12 buses from (leaves terminal) 615a to 825a going and 355p to 645p coming back. Not a great option time wise but much better than local bus to the Ferry.

Express bus fare is $6.50 in coins or Metrocard the other headache of getting a metrocard.

The local bus down Victory Blvd to the Ferry S62 (limited service S92 which runs rush hours only same times above) local is scheduled for 40 minutes, limited scheduled for 35 minutes, that's the bus scheudle your experince will differ.

I grew up in NYC and would take the ferry/subway combination any time. Well maybe not if it was freezing outside.

Since the OP is coming from Wilkes Barre, PA, I'm wondering if they considered the park/sleep/cruise package from Trinity reservations at the Ramada Plaza at Newark Airport for a little over $200 tax included. Staying at EWR would offer a faster easier trip to Times Square. They would avoid the $15 bridge toll to get onto Staten Island plus some Turnpike toll plus an extra 20-30 minutes each way to get on and off of Staten Island.

Post cruise they would have the option of staying at EWR or moving up the turnpike to a Secaucus hotel where they would have free parking and quick cheaper bus service directly to the Times Square area of Manhattan. Lots of options to position themselves for a shorter trip home at the end of their stay.

** Do they have a shuttle to the port? Thanks for the info.

It's a park/sleep/cruise package. They offer parking for 21 days, a room for up to 4 people, and round trip port transportation for up to 4 people. It's offered only by Trinityreservations.com and is not available booking through the Ramada.

Thank you and I booked with Trinity reservations for the Ramada.
