cabinboy1945 Posted March 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2018 We have never been to NYC and will be cruising Norwegian Gem on June 2. We are looking for a hotel that would be around the city but not too far from the port area. We are arriving 3 days before our cruise and looking for recommendations on where to stay.

Hotel dates May 30 - June 2? Two people? Bed size requirements? Realistic hotel budget/night. How are your arriving in New York? Flying or driving?

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2018 For hotels I would also recommend making use of Trip Advisor because there are lots of choices. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted March 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2018 There are lots of choices. We like to stay in the Times Square South area as it is convenient to the theatre and a number of other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted March 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Manhattan is not that large so I would not limit your options to “not too far from the port area”. As Keith1010 suggested using TripAdvisor is a good way to make a selection that suits your needs and budget. From the hotel to the cruise terminal a yellow cab or Uber would be easy.

138east Posted March 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2018 we booked The Watson . it's close to the port and nearby attractions . Could you report back on your experience? Looks like a more budget choice between Columbus Circle and the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted March 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Could you report back on your experience? Looks like a more budget choice between Columbus Circle and the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. The Columbus Circle subway station has lots of choices, so that’s a plus, but the location is not walking distance to any major point of interest.

138east Posted March 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It all depends on how far you're willing to walk! It's 2 avenues and about 10 streets from Times Square. Having done the NYC tourist walking thing last summer, that doesn't seem too far. Walked with 3 grandkids from Grand Central to 51st & 5th to Empire State on 34th to Herald Square on 32nd & 6th, up Broadway to Times Square and back to Grand Central.
