My wife and I will be on the Meraviglia, September 18. We will fly into LGA the 17th on Southwest, landing at 5 PM.
What is the best plan concerning where to stay the night of the 17th and the most cost efficient manner for ground transportation to the hotel (possibly free shuttle?) and from the hotel to the cruise terminal. I am looking for a midpriced safe, quiet hotel with a restaurant or close to restaurants.
Also, is a return 11:55 AM return flight a wise choice? We have TSA Precheck.
