Manhattan to Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

[Bellarion]

We are taking a New England cruise on Enchanted Princess in September and would like any suggestions for limo or taxi service from our Times Square hotel to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal on our embarkation day.  What is the best company and price for a limo service, or is a cab just the easiest and cheaper way to go?  Thank you!

Lyft/Uber

Uber Black if you are intent on a luxury vehicle. But honestly, the good ‘ol yellow cabs in NY are the best drivers. They know the best routes, where the construction is, which cross streets to avoid. The ride-share drivers rely on Google Maps and the routes recommended by that app aren’t always the best compared to the local knowledge of the pros.

if you are going out of red hook you can take the ferry from lower manhattan, it goes right there.

We have a hotel close to 9/11 memorial, ferry is too far to walk and possibly too short for taxi. I was thinking we'd just take a yellow cab from hotel to pier. Your thoughts?

They would still have to taxi/uber to the ferry. It would not cost much more to go straight to the cruise terminal through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.

Agree, since we would need a cab to ferry terminal it is easier to cab straight to terminal, Ferry does look nice though.
