You don't need to take their transfer.  Given you've always wanted to see NYC, it's a shame it didn't occur to you to spend a night or two there at the end of the cruise, but I guess hindsight is a wonderful thing. You can still spend a little time seeing some of NYC. I'm sure there are places you can leave your luggage for a few hours, so I would do that and choose a couple of NYC sights to go see and then get a taxi or Uber to the airport.

This suited us as it was undemanding. A coach trip around the sights with airport drop off after a cruise seemed ideal. You are right there are lots of alternative excursions but not so easy to make it work for us, we thought about a night excursion but we don’t dock early enough.  

Hi, having always wanted to visit New York and liking the relaxed atmosphere of ncl (only been on one previous cruise) the inaugural  cruise seemed ideal. I booked via a ta, paid for it there and then but they (ncl) hadn’t booked us a direct flight back to the UK so I had to pay more and fly from Newark not JFK. They said it was about the same distance from the port.

A week or two ago we discovered that there is only one excursion BUT it only drops off JFK Or A????? airports. I think we have either missed the Newark drop off or we are the only people going there. We’ve been searching for alternative excursions ourselves but I have mobility issues, plus what happens to our luggage?  I needn’t have worried because I’ve just discovered that our direct transfer to the airport is at 9 am!!!  Flight is around 7 pm!

So we are going to New York to sit In the airport all day. NCL are. no help Trip of a lifetime? I’m thinking not
