Sail away from NY

[fizzy1]

Any idea of sail away time from NY to Southampton ? On QM2 b2b from Southampton next Aug so just looking at how much time there is for a stroll in Manhattan. I know there may be bus tours but is there a shuttle maybe?

There is no shuttle bus but they do put on a Manhatten Transfer from Red Hook and it costs at the moment $49pp and all it does it takes you into Manhatten and drops you off at Macy's for 9am ish depending on traffic and they pick ypu up for return journey at 2-30pm. QM2 usually leaves New York at 5pm.

You could always use the NYC Ferry service, very easy from right next door to were QM2 docks at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

$2.75 each way.

South Brooklyn Route to Pier 11 (Wall Street)

There's a second transit option for Manhattan that might be interesting. The B61 bus runs from central Brooklyn very close to the dock, with connections to several subway lines that serve mid-town at the northern terminus of the bus line. I posted on this a few years ago:

One disadvantage of the bus-subway option for visitors is that the bus only accepts US coins in the fare box. The usual payment form is a metro card but I don't think there's anywhere close to the pier to get one so you would likely need start with US coins to get into Brooklyn. You might consider going into Manhattan on the ferry (the machine there takes credit cards) and you could then buy a fare card in when you get off the ferry and use it for the rest of the day.

I got the ferry this summer from Red Hook to Wall Street and can say that the Ferry is a great way of getting into Manhattan. You get the views of the city as you arrive from the River front, if you want good pictures the Ferry in summer is the way to go!

Excellent . Looks like i think we will do that as we know everyone has to get off the ship but we would rather wait on board till the rush has gone

Just to make sure we're clear on the names of the ferry stops, it's the Red Hook (Atlantic Basin) ferry stop that's immediately adjacent to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and QM2. The journey time between the Red Hook stop and Wall Street/Pier 11 is about 20-22 minutes.

Yea with apologies I meant Red Hook to Wall Street (Pier11), You can not miss it being right next to the ship, with all the signage.
