My fam and I were on Adventure last September...this is like a visit down memory lane. Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting the compasses!!!😃

Looks like you did a lot in NYC yesterday!! You ended up on a very weird weather day-- it's rare that we get even a little morning snow and the streets don't end up being a slushy mess! Hooray for yesterday's sunshine!

As far as the transportation goes, uber is great in New York. In NJ, they aren't licensed in the same way, so not recommended. Also, NEVER take a taxicab across state lines-- you have to pay both ways. If uber doesn't work for you, check a car service. Dial 7 or Carmel are both good. I'm leaving Saturday and live in NYC, I'm taking Supershuttle to the airport and then the cruiseline transport (since I'm going solo, ends up being a lot cheaper that way and still door to door service).

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this very helpful info! :)

It was $80 from JFK to our hotel, which is definitely pricey but cheaper than a taxi. Our driver was a bit aggressive in driving style (perhaps you have to be in a city like NYC) but everything went ok and he was kind enough to get our bags in and out of his car for us. We also took an UBER back to our hotel from dinner tonight (only $7) and that experience was GREAT. I've UBER-Ed in Seattle and Philly as well and I always have a good experience. Can't recommend UBER enough.

Thank you so much for your response!!! I feel more at ease now. Looking forward to seeing more of your review!

Landed and in the UBER en route to our hotel! We're staying at the Doubletree Times Square for this stint. I was expecting it to be much more cold, but conveniently it isn't too bad!

Awesome!!! We're staying there as well this fall. Hope you have a great experience! I thought about using UBER but I'm nervous...Would love to hear about your experience using UBER in NYC.

Loving your review! So happy to see a review by a cruiser with a toddler! We will be doing the same itinerary in September with our 3 year old.
