Transportation from GCT to Red Hook

[911 RN]

We are taking Metro North from CT for the 9/30 sailing of the Crown Princess. What is the best way to get from Grand Central Terminal to the port in Red Hook? Cab, limo service, subway??

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks....:)

Your best bed is to take a yellow cab (dont pay more than $40). it is more convenient for you, so you wont get confused on the train.. its a lot of work with your luggage. you can look into a super shuttle from grand central station. General Reservations 1-212 Blue Van (212-258-3826)

Take a car service, $30 or less. :)

I priced several car services and didn't get anything lower than $115 one way.

Lildantat,

My husband works in NYC so he's fairly subway savvy, but only around Manhattan. He doesn't get over to Brooklyn. In any case though, I don't feel like dragging my luggage down the stairs into the subway! :( The car services are expensive, so we'll probably opt for a cab. Thanks.

It's good that you've opted not to use the subway. Besides the fact that you'll be dragging your luggage, not to mention possibly some valuables, from what I've been told, the area surrounding the passenger terminal in Brooklyn is not the safest area to wander. Now, I've been flamed before for saying this, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. The closest subway stop is not that close to the port either. Start your vacation on a positive note...and a relaxing one....by taking a taxi or car service. BTW, try calling other car services. It shouldn't cost $115 round trip from Grand Central. Good luck.

 

We are on the Oct. 9th sailing and we've opted to drive in and park at the terminal. After thorough research, it's the most cost effective for us.

Wow $115, that is ridiculous.

We just did it $30 plus tip.

 

 

Try Arecibo or Cadman Car service, check their website's. :)

Colo Cruiser,

Thanks so much! I'll check into that. And, you're right, the prices I've been getting are completely ridiculous.
