dorisdvu Posted February 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2018 We (4 adults) are cruising on the Carnival Horizon 6-5-18 (Tuesday) - 6-13-18 (Wednesday. We are flying into Newark (EWR) Sunday 6-3-18 arriving at 9:50 AM and departing on Wednesday 6-13-18 at 9:20 PM. Our hotel budget is $250 per night. We've never been to NYC. For sure we are going to the 9/11 Museum. What are your suggestions for transportation to and from airport and hotel? Since we have a lot of time before the flight departs, is there anything we can do with our luggage to do a little sight seeing after the cruise before going to the airport?

Since we have a lot of time before the flight departs, is there anything we can do with our luggage to do a little sight seeing after the cruise before going to the airport? Could you provide more details? Are you looking for 1 or 2 hotel rooms for 4 adults? If sharing a room, can you survive with 2 doubles or a King + sofa bed or do you need 2 queen beds (very tough in NYC)? How much luggage will your group have? Transportation options from EWR to Manhattan include NJ Transit train, airport bus, private car service, and Uber/Lyft. Post cruise luggage storage is available at Schwartz Travel on W 37th St, which is close to both the train and Airport bus back to EWR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorisdvu Posted February 16, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks for the info. We could manage with 1 room. Double beds would work but prefer queen or 2 doubles and a sofa bed. We will have 6 -7 suitcases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have 6 -7 suitcases. $250/night is too low a budget for 2 Queens or 2 doubles and a sofabed for your dates. Are you AAA members, seniors, or military? Since the 911 Memorial is a priority, I would suggest looking at the Doubletree in Jersey City across the Hudson River from the 911 Memorial area. I'm seeing 2 doubles plus a sofabed suite for $239 plus tax, $231 for Hilton Honors members, and $215 for AAA members. PATH train 2 blocks away will take you to midtown (33rd & 6th) or downtown (World Trade/911 Memorial) for $2.75. If you want to stay in Manhattan, you're going to have to up your budget and perhaps settle for 2 doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
