Caribbean Princess/New York Question

[pinkbirds02]

Just wondering where the ships dock in New York and if we fly out of La Guardia? How far is the airport from the docks? Are there taxi's or shuttles to get passengers from dock to airport?:o

Looking forward to our May 17th cruise out of San Juan!!!!

Thanks for the help

Brooklyn, NY is the pier and it is called Red Hook. LGA is the closest but JFK is only a few miles more away. No hotels nearby only Marriott and I believe a Choice Hotel Brand are the ones in Brooklyn close to the pier.

Newark isn't far either. We've cruised on both the Crown and Caribbean Princess out of Red Hook, Brooklyn and both times we flew into LaGuardia and out of Newark. Just check prices and fly to/from whichever airport has the best deals!

Brooklyn cruise terminal is located in Red Hook, opposite Governors Island. The terminal is approximately 12 miles from LaGuardia Airport.

 

Heard that transfers cost $70 pp round. Call Princess to get a quote.

Might be cheaper if you use a taxi - $35.+tip

You could consider using a car service.

Newark to Brooklyn Terminal, Dial 7 sedan service, about $100 each way plus tip. Nice ride and worth the money. PS, drivers don't know where the Terminal is located. :eek:

We use a car service, either Cadman or Arecibo.

It is around $45 for up to 4 people from LGA to Red Hook and about a 35 minute ride.

from JFK a liitle more money and about 10 minutes further.

Also, cabs are in short supply at the brooklyn terminal so I would definitely arrange transportation ahead of time.
