djnamttor Posted August 1, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Howdy all...I'm a first timer who just booked his first cruise leaving NYC on 9/11 (great deals if you aren't scared!!!) on the Dawn for 7 days to Florida and the Bahamas. I live in Western MA and am wondering if it is best to drive right into NYC and more specifically, is there a long-term parking lot? Or should I take the train into town and over to the docks? Thanks in advance!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreguy Posted August 1, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Lots of options - the train works for some - there is parking right on the pier that makes it very easy to drive. There is also an NCL bus from Boston but since you are in Western MA may not work. Here is a link to the pier with parking details http://www.nypst.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseNana Posted August 1, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I believe you can get a bus out of Hartford as well. We took one our of Providence and it was wonderful. Put the luggage on the bus and don't have to bother with it until it is delivered to your cabin. Loved it!!! Plus if it is foul weather, no need to drive, leave the driving to them.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted August 1, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2005 here is a new New York Cruise terminal website http://www.nycruiseterminal.com/ the NYPST is a good one too. Note that they do in fact take Mastercharge and Visa for the parking...Buses are good. You can also take AMTRAK from Albany to Penn Station and then a Taxi.....

CruiseNana Posted August 4, 2005 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Thanks for the info on the bus, we will be leaving out of Providence in Feb 2006 and we plan on using this service. It is good to know someone had a good experience with it. Cant wait!!!!! Thanks again Glad I could help, We had a great experience. We arrived at the port and the ship had not desembarked. It had a medical emergency which made it late for arrival. But, to our surprise our bus driver took us for a tour of NY. He actually parked at the ground zero site as well. (Quite moving) In all of the times that I have been to NY I had never learned as much about the city as I did that day. Our cruise was February also. Enjoy!!! We are out of Miami this coming Feb.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
