Anyone have any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance! There is a cab line as you exit from the terminal. When we took a cab, there was a long wait and there was someone giving out numbered tickets. It took an hour to actually get into a cab. The cabs were coming very sporadically until a few minutes after 9am and they came more frequently. I had since read that the best way to get a cab is to cross the street and hail a cab from the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agargoyle Posted August 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hi, the last time we sailed the Breakaway from the Manhattan port we did not follow the crowd across the street to wait for a cab. We got our luggage and then headed back up to the second floor where you check in. Lots of people getting dropped off by cabs so we grabbed a cabbie as he was helping people out of the cab and asked if he was accepting fares. Of course he was, he did not want to wait in a long line either to get a fare....we had our cab in about 15 minutes or less. It is crowded and a bit confusing with people getting out of personal cars, taxis and busses but not really too bad. Actually, my husband stayed back with the luggage and I hunted down a cabbie. Worked out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted August 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It took an hour to actually get into a cab. The cabs were coming very sporadically until a few minutes after 9am and they came more frequently. Weekday or Weekend? Weekday morning wait will be long, weekend not so much. Best bet is to go to 2nd floor and get a cab that just dropped their fare off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
