Bases5 Posted January 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We are cruising on Carnival I was wondering if Taxi's were easy to Catch at the port after the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted January 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2016 There can be LONG lines, I was in line over an hour one trip. You can cross the street and try and hail a cab, but you have to one up on the rest of people doing the same. :) :) I just keep walking further down, getting ahead of them. :) the is a cab line with ticket numbers at the port area.

MarlboroBell Posted January 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The other option of course would be to call an Uber (or Lyft), who should be there within a few minutes with no waiting in line. Ubers in NYC are regulated by the Taxi and Limousine Commission, so you shouldn't get any fly-by-night operators. (Honestly my experiences of Uber in NYC are way better than my experiences of cabs.)

Uber the price fluctuates with demand. You can also call a car service. Dial7 or Carmel are the ones most mentioned on this board. They offer coupons on their websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted January 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If you are coming ashore on a weekday morning, the cabs are few and far between. Weekend it is better but again a lot of factors on how plentiful cabs are. Car service you make a reservation then call them when ready for pick up. Uber use the app. Just remember you can not use your cell phone in the Customs "Hall". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
