NYC, Shuttle vs Taxi?

Shuttle vs Taxi

 

We are sailing out of NY on Carnival Sept 2016

We are flying in day of to LGA

Delta direct flight.

 

Carnival is offering a shuttle for $30 pp each way x 2 = $60

How would that compare to a taxi?

Did you try googling this question? I don't know from where you are cruising, but have never found cruise transfers cheaper or faster then taking a cab.

A taxi could be slightly cheaper but not by much. Figure about $40 to $45 plus tolls and tip, which would total close to $60.

The poster said they're cruising from NY and flying into LGA.

Read that. There is more than one cruise terminal that could be considered "NY".

Thanks I did say Carnival, does carnival sail out of different terminal?

Carnival docks in one place and one place only in NY...the Manhattan Cruise Terminal located on 12th Ave between 48th and 55th streets.

The place to post this question is the East Coast Departures Board.

The difference would be that with a cruise shuttle, you likely have to wait for an entire bus to fill up before they leave the airport. A taxi will leave immediately.

Depends upon what time your flight is scheduled to arrive. If it's anytime after 9am I would take the carnival shuttle as then the ship is more likely to wait for you if your flight is delayed. FLying in the DAY OF embarkation makes me extremely anxious.
