happiness is cruising Posted August 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2014 LGA and you take the bus for 2.50 M60 from the airport to Lexington Avenue Transfer is FREE then take the Lexington Bus ... 101 102 or 103 to 57 street Get off and pay another 2.50 to go to 12th avenue The cruise port is right there . You will have to walk a very short blocks Total cost 5.00 You can also take a cab or the Cruise Ship transfer for much more $$$ Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happiness is cruising Posted August 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi There are signs at LGA for the M60 bus..just ask someone where it is..will depend on the traffic but tops 2 hours.. Should be much shorter..but you will get to see a lot of NYC .. You will need EXACT CHANGE.. Quarters.. Or buy a metro card ..not sure if They are sold at the airport..quarters would be better YES it is a cheapie way and fun..

Andee Posted August 24, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The Q70 express bus from LGA to 74th/Roosevelt, F train to Rockefeller Center, M50 bus along 49th St should take about an hour and cost $5.00 per person. You can buy metro cards in LGA. A cab would cost ~$35 and take ~1/2 hour. If you have large suitcases, that may be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camasidaho Posted August 25, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have become a huge fan of Lyft over taxis. It is a smart phone ap that saves you a few dollars and gets a much faster ride. Used it last month 4 times in NYC area.. very cool. Google Lyft. We fly into LGA for our NCL GEM cruise.. going to use Lyft This is about 5 weeks away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people do the vehicles carry? So would the fare be; $2.15pm x 15-17 miles + $3.00 fee ? Do you make reservation before arrival? Never been to NYC so any info or tips on transportation from LGA to port would be greatly aprreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camasidaho Posted August 25, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I used Lyft in the Newark area. I have been recently told that in New York they only allow regular taxis to sign up for Uber and Lyft... so you pay taxi rates probably or more.. but it is so simple to just do a one touch request and the closest driver can pick you up.

You're not going to save any money or time by using one of these apps from a NY City airport. In NY they can't use unemployed florists using their own cars and posing as taxi drivers :rolleyes: . These apps can only use licensed car services. Just get on the taxi line outside your airline terminal, and get in the next available taxi. It will be about $35-40 plus toll ($0-6 depending on route) and tip (customarily 15 - 20% of the fare). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
