smeyer418 Posted September 27, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2008 What is the Cab fare from Penn Station to ship? Does cab drop you off at pier or outside? Thanks. its about $10...and you can be dropped off across the street or have them take you right to the pier as you desire. If you have to wait until you get into the pier the meter keeps clicking away which can add up but its .40 every 45 seconds. Its normally faster and cheaper to be dropped across the street and walk but it is really what you feel comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasasalad Posted September 27, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2008 A lot of trains go to Pen station........but Cruise ships go out of Bayone, NJ, Brooklyn,NY and NYC. Make it clear to the driver where you are going. A friend of mine was dropped off in NYC and her cruise ship was in Brooklyn! Hey, if you are early and have time ask the cab to give you a tour of the city. It is fun place to see! What is the Cab fare from Penn Station to ship? Does cab drop you off at pier or outside?

It is fun place to see! and have the directions to Brooklyn with you from Penn station tell the driver to take you to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to brooklyn in Brooklyn take the Hamilton Avenue exit(its just passed the toll booth) make two quick lefts making sure not to get back into the tunnel(yes you just made a U turn), go straight make the left on Van Brundt and then the first right. should take about 20 minutes and cost about $35(including toll and tip) All NCL ships leave from the Manhattan cruise terminal. Only Princess and Cunard leave from Brooklyn RC and X leave from Bayonne NJ almost everyone esle leaves from Manhattan except some one of ships from individual cruise lines. Since this is an NCL thread I answered for Manhattan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is an NCL thread I answered for Manhattan Since all NCL ships leave from the Manhattan terminal, why would you take directions for Brooklyn? As to where to be dropped off, on our last few times out of Manhattan terminal, the cab went right to the drop off point and was maybe 3 minutes from where we made the turn into the terminal complex. I would guess there are times when it might be busy and the drop off at the street would make sense. Good news is that the elevator is very close the the gate if you do get off at the street.

BlueHerons Posted September 27, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hey, if you are early and have time ask the cab to give you a tour of the city. It is fun place to see! That would be expensive considering how huge the city is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warb Posted September 27, 2008 Author #9 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks to all for info. We have left out of Brooklyn. We are going on The Jewel the 18th of Oct. First cruise on NCL since we were on their Tilting Hilton" in 1998. I think it was the Old Star. It listed to one side. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
