I'm wondering if I should book my internet package before I board if if it's the same price once we are onboard.

Thank you Everybody! I feel much more confident and have written down our route with your step by step instructions. I'll let you know how we made out when we return. I'm not too worried about the airtrain and subway to Manhatten as I have done it once a couple years ago. The path and light rail will be new to me but now we have much more time to navigate by breaking up the trip.

One more quick question. I read somewhere that it is a little more then a km from the 34th street drop in New Jersey to the cruise ship. Has anyone ever just walked the last bit?

Please do not choose the Hotel Pennsylvania. It's disgusting.

Nope, the price was right in that hotel but some people had posted unfavourable reviews. We booked at the Wyndham.

Thank you everybody!

I have revised my plans. We are now going to arrive at JFK and travel to our hotel next to Penn station the same evening

We will take the airtrain and at Jamaica station catch the E line to our hotel.

The next morning I believe we will be taking the Path to New Jersey. I've been told told to go to Hoboken? To catch the light rail to 34street.

I assume I'm being sent a little out of the way because that is where we can transfer to the light rail?

This will cut a good chunk out of the travel time on cruise day and will avoid the "questionable" hotels by JFK.

Thanks all! I'm going to look into cancelling our hotel at JFK and booking one by penn station to remove a good chunk of the travel.

Sorry, I'm new to the chat room concept.... I'm travelling with my husband, two older children and my mom and dad. Kids are old enough to carry their bag and my parents are just as active as I am. We booked this cruise as a "once in a lifetime" experience. I've been to New York once with my daughter and had no trouble navigating the airtrain and subway from JFK to Manhatten ..... now we must cross the river to the pier. I would love to use a website to search JFK to Cape Liberty but it is not possible. Two different transportation systems. I'm hoping someone who lives in the New York area or has made this trip might help me out

any thoughts about crossing at the world trade centre on Path to Exchange place?

Thank you!!! I realize that this is a bit of an adventure. It was a significant difference (2000$) on airline tickets from Canada. I travelled from JFK to Manhatten two years ago with our luggage to stay on 5th Avenue. I understand that this isnt the easiest itinerary.

My family is flying into JFK the night before our cruise. We are staying beside the airport for easy access to the Airtrain the next morning.

Could anyone share the route that we should take to get to Cape Liberty by Air Train/ Subway. There are no mobility issues and we tend to travel with few bags.
