newark airport to NY port??

[bigwhistle]

We are going on the Spirit on June 3 and are flying into Newark. What is the best way (cheapest and fastest) to get from the airport to the port? Our flight arrives about 11am.

1. Car service - there is a transportation desk on the bagage claim level

2. Cab

3. NCL transfers if available.

4. Train or bus

Newark is about an hour drive from nyc piers, so cab fare will be a little steep.

The easiest way to get from Newark to the Port of New York is by car service. Carmel or Tel-Aviv.

 

Call and make a reservation and then you call them when you land and they are there within five minutes.

 

They are usually within a couple of dollars of the price of a cab and a much more pleasant experience.

I agree blue, nyc cabs will leave you broke lol. car service much better idea. still will be a little expensive.

Taxi was $60 including tolls and tip. EWR to the cruise port.

You can take a NJ Transit train right from the airport to Penn Station for a few bucks, and a taxi from there to the pier can't be too much, although I'm not sure if the pier charges a fee for drop-offs. From the website (www.nypst.com) it looks like it might be about a $20 fee. Don't know if that applies to taxis.

 

HTH.

Can you expand on this if leaving from Red Hook and want transportation from EWR

[smeyer418]

It will be about $70.00 cab fare frome EWR to Red hook terminal.

Black cars will probably be more(not always true). There is no direct connection. You can take a bus from in from of the air terminal to Port Aurthority NY for about 15.00 per person. Then a cab for about $30.00 to brooklyn. Cabs will give you no problem going. They are used to going to the Brooklyn Heights/carrol gardens area). Just tell them is right behind the brooklyn battery tunnel in Brooklyn and to take the first exit that says Hamilton Ave.
