flying into NYC

[blue_crystal]

What is the best option for getting myself and my luggage to the pier in NYC? Flying into Newark. Is there a shuttle there, or is it generally a taxi trip, and how do I make sure not to be ripped off? I've heard stories..

Hi,

 

You will not get ripped off at Newark Airport as there are taxi dispatchers who ask your destination and give you a card with the rate on it. The only thing additional is tip and tolls. If you are going to the pier from EWR you will have a toll on the NJ Tpke of about $1.00 and then the Lincoln Tunnel Toll (which you have to pay roundtrip as the NJ hacks are not allowed to (legally) pick up in NYC.

 

There is a monrail at EWR to the NJ TRansit/Amtrak station at EWR. You can take the train to Penn Station in NYC (34th & 8th AVe) and then take a cab to the pier which should be about $5.00 - $6.00. Of course, with baggage it may be a pain BUT I always take the train to the ship in Southampton (from Waterloo) and I manager OK with the baggage.

 

Good luck and bon voyage
