Verde Man Posted August 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2016 We will be coming into NY Penn Station for our Carnival cruise out of Manhattan. Where is the best place to call for a Uber pickup to the cruise terminal. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted August 17, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) When you leave the terminal if you might want to simply get a yellow cab, there will be many, especially if you are on the eighth avenue entrance. It's very congested there though so it might not be easy for an uber to pull over and for you to spot them. On 34 street there are two addresses I know mid block that there are not a lot of people hanging around. One is One Penn Plaza and the other is the entrance to K mart (look up address). I'm sure others will have other and maybe better ideas. Edited August 17, 2016 by Got2Cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verde Man Posted August 17, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Thank You. It is such a short distance to the pier maybe there will not be that big of difference in price between the taxi and Uber anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalee Posted September 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I have looked on maps and Penn station to the NCL port looks like a short distance. However I know nothing about traffic there on a Sunday. Would planning 15 min from Penn Station to the port on a Sunday be about right ? I am hoping less than $20 for a cab ?

PelicanBill Posted September 4, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2016 A little longer than 15 is possible as a cab has to go north past the pier 3 blocks and come back to get on the ramp to the drop off. Then you could have a short wait to reach the drop area. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcello Posted September 4, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Exit on the 8th Avenue side and not the 7th Avenue side. I take the train to NY alot and always exit at 8th Avenue & 31st Street. 31st Street heads west. If you don't want to walk you could call Uber and tell them to meet you at 8th Ave on the south side of 31st St. That way you're avoiding the taxi stand, which goes from 34th to 31st Street. As an FYI traffic around Penn Station is always bad - no matter what day of the week or time of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
