Purple Gallinule Posted May 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2022 We will be on the Enchanted Princess sailing October 1 roundtrip NYC. If we fly on Southwest, we will go into Laguardia Airport, not JFK. Do Princess transfers work at both airports? Having never been to NYC for a cruise, I want to make sure we make the right decisions. Thanks to all for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we fly on Southwest, we will go into Laguardia Airport, not JFK. Do Princess transfers work at both airports? Having never been to NYC for a cruise, I want to make sure we make the right decisions. Thanks to all for any help. Princess website contains the following information: New York City Princess offers transfers from New York's John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports and New Jersey's Newark airport. Embarking PassengersFor voyages that depart from New York City, the latest flight arrivals are as follows: LaGuardia: 3 hours prior to ship's departure for domestic flights John F. Kennedy: 4 hours prior to ship's departure for domestic flights Newark: 4 hours prior to ship's departure for domestic flights Disembarking PassengersFor voyages arriving in New York City, the earliest flight departures are as follows: LaGuardia: 6 hours after ship's arrival for domestic flights John F. Kennedy: 7 hours after ship's arrival for domestic flights Newark: 7 hours after ship's arrival for domestic flights Also, be advised that if there are two (or more) of you, a taxi from LGA to the cruise terminal will cost about the same as the Princess Transfer, and you can go on your own time without waiting around for others. Uber and Lyft are probably similar, but NYC is the one place where I much prefer Yellow Cab taxis over the private rides. The cabbies know the best routes and which streets to avoid far better than the private ride drivers who tend to follow Google Maps religiously, and that often gets them routed onto a cross street that is pinched down to a single lane. Can be frustrating. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted May 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) What does Princess charge for a transfer from the Manhattan terminal to JFK airport? How much does it cost for a taxi? Edited May 21, 2022 by Aus Traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted May 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 21, 2022 There is a flat rate for taxis from jfk into Manhattan The last time I was there it was $70 plus tip Check using Google or in the nyc forum of trip advisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One had $52 plus tip, but it might be out-dated. I will assume your price of $70 plus tip is correct. I'd still like to know the cost of Princess transfer to JFK. My Cruise Personalizer only has a 6.5 hour disembarkation tour for AUD $169.95 (roughly nearly US $120). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize My memory is not what it used to be I think that $70 was the total I paid after the flat rate +toll for bridge,or tunnel and tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I didn’t see any guidelines for International flights. Honestly, the 6/7 hour suggestion seems like plenty of time. I flew out of JFK to LHR two weeks ago and arriving 3 hours before the flight was plenty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I have traveled from JFK to Manhattan we had 4 people and hired a black car. I think we paid around $200. So a taxi for $70 seems about right.

Purple Gallinule Posted May 21, 2022 Author #13 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal schedule shows Enchanted on 10/1, so we won't be sailing from Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
