...Supershuttle shuttles everyone around and if you're the last one off then you've spent too much time on board!...

Yes, since this is a shared van service, you may or may not be the first passenger to get to your destination. So if you are in a hurry, this might not be the best way to go. But if you don't mind taking a free ride through town, then it's okay.:D

Hi,

 

How do you arrange for the Super Shuttle?

 

John

You can either pre-arrange it by going to their website (supershuttle.com) or after you have arrived at the airport, exit and find the area where they have people there to assist you. I am quoting the info from their website: "LGA – Claim your luggage then follow the signs to the Ground Transportation Desk near the Baggage Claim area. You can either call SuperShuttle directly on the courtesy phone or ask an agent at the desk to arrange for SuperShuttle service."

As for bad service, I am sure people complain about our cabs and limos too.:)

I just went to the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission's website and I stand corrected. The flat $45 is the rate from JFK Airport to Manhattan, not LaGuardia.

 

Does anyone know how much this will run us? Or should we just arrange a shuttle?

 

Thanks- Beth:rolleyes:

Yes, you are right, the flat rate of $45 is from JFK. If you take a taxi from LGA, it's about $30, but a lot depends on the traffic. If there are only two of you, SuperShuttle wouldn't be a bad choice, since the total is around $28 (plus tax/tips). The only downside is you might not be the first person to get off the van, since this is a shared van and other passengers might be dropped off first.

Calling on all the experienced cruisers. Which do you prefer and why?

Cruise ship transfer or private? I have contacted several recommended private companies and have not received a response and my DH who is traveled more than I is very skeptical of cabs due to $$$ and "NYC is a big city." It is totally unlike our small town in Eastern KY.:)

Thank you for your input, greatly appreciated.

I would recommend either taking the taxi (since it's only about 10 miles between LGA and the NCL/Manhattan cruise terminal-but that depends on the traffic at the time) or using SuperShuttle. SuperShuttle is very popular here in NYC and the charge is not too expensive. A shared van is $16 for first person and $12 for each additional guest. They also have private van service for $115.
