Where in NY does the Splendour sail from

[HappyChappy]

Manahattan Cruise Terminal or Brooklyn Cruise terminal

 

Will make choosing a hotel much easier.

 

For some reason I am under the impression its from Brooklyn but looking at some info in other threads has made me think otherwise.

Manhattan.

[mizLORInj]

Yes, Manhattan. The actual piers are between 47th and 51st streets.

[HappyChappy]

Manhattan.

 

Cheers. I had previously been advised it was Brooklyn and was looking at hotels around there but just clocked some pics and it got me thinking about it.

[Aplmac]

Yes, Manhattan. The actual piers are between 47th and 51st streets.

When we did Glory in Oct. 2011, it was 49th. Street, I think..

 

 

Local scenery looks a bit like this...

 

 

 

We left from Pier 90, seen here..

Definitely NOT Brooklyn! Did you check out that Bed and Breakfast place I found on the upper west side? It's in the roll call, but I can find it again if you need it.

 

Link for the terminal - it has maps ...

And you do know that the word Splendour does not appear on the ship :D When you look at the bow it says Carnival Splendor. Wouldn't want you to travel all the way from Scotland and miss the ship due to a translation error!

Yankee spelling again :D

you guys are murder at it.

 

The reason I ddnt look at it was because of where it was. I was looking for hotels nr Brooklyn. Remember I commented on getting the hotel near the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

 

Can you repost the link please.

I remember you asking about hotels in Brooklyn - I didn't make the connection! Good thing you asked - the Brooklyn terminal is no where near the Manhattan one.

 

This is the place I mentioned. I have no personal experience with this place, but it sounded nice - like a place I would want to try. The reviews are good ...

Kat I got a reply but it said that they can only accept reservations for a min 30 days.

 

Here is the body of text.

''Thank you for your interest in Country Inn the City, one of New York's best alternatives to a hotel according to Frommers and many of the major travel guides.

 

Unfortunately there is a new law in the city -- we must now take 30 day minimums until we can get a permit. For short stays we suggest regular full service hotels like the nearby Hotel Beacon.

 

We apologize for any inconvenience and would have loved to have you stay with us''

That's too bad - it sounded like such a nice place! Did you check out the Beacon?

I did but at £700 for 2 night I will sleep on the streets 1st. Thats over a $1000

 

Dont mind maybe paying 150 - 200 a night but certainly no more than that.

In Oct 2012, we stayed at a B&B on Lexington near 102nd. Reasonable price, taxis right outside your door if you need them, subway 2 blocks away. Italian restaurant two doors down. Had baked ziti, a calzone and one beer - less than 14.00 total and we couldn't eat it all. Great breakfast place just across the street. The breakfast isn't typical B&B - it is just poptarts, granola bars, fruit in a basket in your room with coffee, teas and other snacks. We found it very comfortable for the two days we stayed following our cruise.

Bubba and Bean is the name. I know - don't laugh. Named after their dogs.

That's funny, up until the early '90s the Beacon was a $6 per night flop house!

Cant seem to get on the website for it. It has very good reviews on trip adviser

I have a friend who often stays at the Beacon when she comes here. She's staying at Hotel Giraffe for her second time on her next trip here. It's midtown - 26th and Park Avenue South. Good area. I don't know how the prices are, but I imagine it's in line with the Beacon.
