pkamison Posted April 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hope you can advise and help - sailing on QM2 - disembarking in Red Hook - Brooklyn (have never been there) and need to get home to Delaware. Are there Cunard shuttles to Amtrak stations in Mid town Manhattan or (preferably) in Newark New Jersey ? Would a car service be better and which one ? Are there car services that would take you to Philadelphia or Wilmington ? Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the cost would be to Delaware. (Carmel and Arecibo also get recommendations). If you want to do a Cunard bus to Amtrak, I believe the NY excursion lets off at Macy's, which is across the street-ish from Penn Station. (Although you'd be paying for a round trip - and if using this option, I'd make sure to notify the driver that you won't be returning) A combo option might be to use a car service to Penn Station.

pkamison Posted April 28, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted April 28, 2017 thanks - we figured that worst case we could have a car/driver take us to Penn Station but we would really like to avoid that if possible. As two slow walking young seniors with luggage (and bad backs) as direct a route would totally be the best way to go - also thought prehaps the Newark/Amtrak station would be less hectic that Penn Station. I had heard about Dial 7 so I will call them. If I have a car service take me to Penn Station and then take the Metro liner I will be most likely spending $300 +- and be dog tired by the time I hit my front door.

Your shuttle for 2 would likely be more expensive than a car service. I understand trying to avoid Penn Station (even when not a senior with luggage!) - Perhaps the airtrain shuttle in Newark would be less tiresome, but I have no personal experience to provide.

Camillus112 Posted April 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Mark, absolutely loved your Arecibo comment! You would need an airplane to San Juan, and a "Carro Público" to Arecibo. Wonderful town! Halfway to Mayagüez, my family's home town. I am very much enjoying the Cunard posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in this case I was referring to a Brooklyn-based car service (whose founders, I expect, are Puerto Rican) http://www.arecibocc.com/ - Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
