NH to Manhattan pier questions

[snowcamper]

I am exploring taking the bus from Concord NH to Manhattan, then getting a taxi or Uber to the Manhattan Cruise terminal: has anyone done this? 

The bus drops off at noon on 42nd St between 1st and 2nd Ave (Murray Hill area). Their website says "taxis available", but I am concerned as to how often they go by.  The return bus leaves at 2:00 PM, so it seems plenty of time to get from the pier to the bus stop without rushing off the ship, as long as there are taxis available.

We flew into LGA earlier this year, which took forever: 2 hour bus ride to Boston airport, waited 2 hours, flight to LGA, then waited another 2 hours to get onto the NCL transfer bus, (which was horribly disorganized), then slow ride through traffic.  Looking for a simpler way. We are not very knowledgeable on Uber and Lyft - they don't run out in the woods where we live .

In Manhattan yellow cabs (taxis) are more available than before Uber, etc. came on the scene. On your return you have a good bit of time before your bus departs at 2pm. You can take a taxi from the ship to Schwartz Luggage (at 357 West 37th street) and leave your luggage for a while while you look around midtown. Then taxi to the bus.

Thanks!  We'll have to think about what to do for 1/2 a day: so many options, we'll have to narrow it down.  Maybe find some good NY pizza while we are out and about - it's just not the same here!  I'm a Jersey girl and hubby is from Long Island, so we miss "real" pizza!
