Grand Central to Manhattan Port!

[sailingnut]

I am thinking of taking the train down to Grand Central for my cruise in October~~would anyone know if they have a shuffle to the port or would I have to take a taxi! Any suggestions would be helpful! I hate to pay the fare from my house to the pier~~but maybe that is best!:)

Taxi from grand central to the port - no shuttles.

It is not a long ride. Cost will depend upon stop lights, etc. Piece of cake.

Last 3 times we sailed out of NY the taxi fare from grand central to the port was between 10 and 13 dollars..

No shuttle to the port. A taxi shouldn't be that expensive.

We were on the 5-12 to 5-19 sailing, we took a cab from and to penn station and each time it was 6.50 and we paid 10 due to our bags.... was a very easy ride, will never walk it again....

Sometimes the taxi driver wants to know the Pier number, NCL is usually docked at Pier 88.

You can also take the MTA Bus #42. Stops right outside of GCS on 42nd Street and goes all the way crosstown on 42nd Street to 12th Avenue (a few blocks from pier). Cost $2.50 per person.

Definitely doable with the crosstown bus. However, you better be traveling light - really light. I wouldn't do it with any significant amount of luggage.
