daju22 Posted June 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2015 We are staying at Candlewood Suites Jersey City the night before a cruise out of the Manhattan Cruise Port on Sunday. What is the best route to drive to get to the port? Google recommends: driving from Candlewood Suites Jersey City 21 2nd Street, Jersey City, NJ07302 Take Marin Blvd to I-78 E 4 min (0.9 mi) Follow I-78 E to NY-9A S in Manhattan, New York 22 min (5.9 mi) OR should I drive through the Lincoln Tunnel? Candlewood Suites Jersey City 21 2nd Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302 Head west on 2nd St toward Washington Blvd Continue on Washington Blvd. Take Paterson Plank Rd, Willow Ave, NJ-495 E/Lincoln Tunnel and NY-495 E to W 41st St in Manhattan, New York 21 min (5.9 mi) Maybe someone has a better idea? I have never driven in NYC. Thanks. Turn left onto W 41st St Drive to NY-9A S 4 min (0.9 mi) Manhattan Cruise Terminal 711 12th Avenue, New York, NY 10019 Manhattan Cruise Terminal 711 12th Avenue, New York, NY 10019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted June 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Take the first Google Maps recommended route using the Holland Tunnel, which is very close to your hotel. Absent some monster traffic jam at the Holland Tunnel it will be quicker (and always bit shorter) than going via the Lincoln Tunnel. Even though you are driving more in Manhattan, driving up 9A (West St., 11th Ave. and 12th Ave) is usually pretty easy traffic-wise. Just check traffic reports on WCBS 880 and 1010 WINS before you leave. If the Holland Tunnel or West St./11th Ave/12 Ave are a mess, then go via the Lincoln Tunnel.

daju22 Posted June 1, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks njhorseman. We'll take the Holland Tunnel. After disembarking going home. What route is best when traveling via route 78 to Northeast PA? How about by route 80? Not sure if it's easier going home over the George Washington Bridge. Also traveling home on Sunday AM.

138east Posted June 1, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2015 On a Sunday morning it will be very easy to go north on the West Side Highway/Henry Hudson Parkway to cross the GW Bridge to I80. You get on at the beginning of this highway at the Manhattan Cruiseport and have virtually no local street driving in Manhattan. If I80 works for you, that is the way to go.
