Embarking @ NYC port

[Adele1]

Every time I go across in a cab there is a long line to get across

to 12th avenue to go up the ramp to the ship.

 

Has anyone gotten out of a cab on 12th Avenue where the cab stand

is and tried to enter the port & find the elevator to the port handlers

who take the bags this way?

 

thanks for any input.

Yes... every time! I go to 48th and 12th Ave and walk across at the crosswalk there and hand over our bags to the porters right there. Then take the elevator up and all is good :) When we used to live in CT that was our preferred method of getting to the port from Grand Central!

Why thank you kind sir! It was costing more for the cab than

for my LIRR ticket so this is what I am going to do on my 2//9 trip.

 

thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's how we do it! Easy breezy! I hate being in the cab, watching the meter keep going up, when I'm just sitting in traffic approaching the ship.

When we've done a one or two night CTN, we've take the M42 bus from Grand Central Station to Circle Line and walked a few blocks to the ship! We cab it from Grand Central Station when we're going on a longer cruise. We're lucky we can leave the car home and take Metro North to NYC.

So glad to hear this, we are stay at Ink48 at 11th and 48th and were hoping to walk if it is not too cold. Looks like it is just 2/10 th of a mile.
