NCL Gem had shuttle buses going to La Guardia, JFK, and Newark the morning we disembarked in New York, back in November last year.

They do but Uber is cheaper

A taxi is fixed fare $52, not as cheap as uber.

 

NCL [sometimes] does not offer a shuttle to JFK. You can easily call reservations and ask if one is available. $45 per person.

I am also sailing on the Gem in June and had seen the link above but two calls to NCL and I got the same answer that transfers only available to LGA. Maybe transfers to JFK and EWR will be offered on ship.

Do you have experience as to where specifically Uber would pick up at Manhattan Cruise Terminal? Actually at the terminal or off-site on a side street?

I get to/from JFK the cheap way. :) Walk down 12th Ave to 42nd St. Get on the 42 bus, get off at 8th Ave, at Port Authority. Take the A subway downtown- HOWARD Beach train- NOT Lefferts. Then get off at JFK. pay the Airtrain fee to your terminal. Just did this a week++ ago- again.

 

IF you don't have a Metro card, you need coin for the 42 bus.

You can also go to Penn Station & take the LIRR to Jamaica, then pick up the Airtrain there.

The thing about all these methods is does the schedule operate frequently to allow adequate time for the smooth

timely connection between the methods.

Also carrying and lugging luggage through turnstiles up and down stairs to platforms.

I would also post this on the East Coast Departures Board where this question comes up every few days.

 

The locals can give you a lot of choices and recommendations.

Is that upstairs or down? And right at the terminal, not across the street. When we had limo the port workers were pushing everyone to go across street.

I don’t remember if it was upstairs or downstairs but the two times I got Uber, they picked me up right at the terminal. Not across the street. However the one time I took a cab, that was across the street.
