Kayak25 Posted March 29 #1 Share Posted March 29 We will be arriving at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal at the end of a cruise we are doing in September and as our flight is not until 6.30pm we would like to spend two or three hours in New York. Can anyone recommend anywhere that will store luggage near the terminal? I have noticed that there are storage facilities at Penn Station, will they take two large bags, are they easy to use, do they have to be booked in advance? One further question is it a straight forward journey by train to JFK from Penn Station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexddd Posted March 29 #4 Share Posted March 29 Maybe see if MKing can swing by and watch it for a flat rate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare debenson0723 Posted March 29 #5 Share Posted March 29 Usebounce.com. Be advised, these are local deli's, hotels, hair salons, etc. that store your luggage in the back. Make sure to check business hours as some close sooner than others. We successfully used a souvenir store on 8th Avenue and it was easy drop off/pick up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billslowsky Posted March 29 #6 Share Posted March 29 There are a couple of online services like usebounce where you set up a drop off time and - I guess - businesses promise to hold bags for you at a quoted rate. There are numerous locations. I just went to a show at a theater and they watched my bags during the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of LIRR trains from Penn Station to Jamaica, Queens - where there is a fairly easy change to the JFK AirTrain which goes to all terminals - workable, but the large bags you mention could be a bit of a hassle.

Happy Good Friday & Easter to you, yours & rest of family. Mobile storage, that's an idea as a sidekick, hmmm. Not with congestion pricing, unless I can impose a surcharge plus round-trip tolls crossing the East River - besides, booked on a 9 nights on Royal that month, probably no. Seriously, see below - for OP @Kayak25 Stasher is another App based tool to find available storage - quick look again (explored this before for someone) - some associated with hotels in the area and others are 24/7 deli places in the midtown west neighborhood ... $7 a bag/per day - which seems reasonable & fair, between MCT and Moynihan Amtrak/LIRR, formerly referred together as NY Penn Sta.

You can use the apps but most major hotels will be glad to store your bags for free if you just tip the bellman well. Usually it helps if you are dropping in for a late breakfast/early lunch or a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayak25 Posted March 30 Author #10 Share Posted March 30 Thanks for all the advice on luggage storage, there seems to be a number of options so will now have a look at them. I've decided that we will have a taxi to JFK as according to what I've read it is a fixed price of $70 dollars from Manhattan to JFK. This actually, if I'm right, is not too bad when compared with the price of the train for two people and cuts out a lot of the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually, if I'm right, is not too bad when compared with the price of the train for two people and cuts out a lot of the hassle. The taxi fare will be more than $70 due to various state and city surcharges. Depending on the day of the week and time of day it will be either about $75 or $80, plus any tolls, plus tip (15 to 20% is customary). Figure on your total cost to be in the $90 to $100 range.

Rare Got2Cruise Posted March 30 #13 Share Posted March 30 Go to a hotel. Obviously not a five star hotel. Go to the bell desk. Say Hi can you keep our bags until check/in. Have a $10 bill in your hand. 99% of the time it will be sure no problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it will work 100% of the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
