penk99 Posted May 9, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2007 We are booked on the Noordam S. Caribbean cruise sailing on 10/20. Does anyone have an opinion on the best way for 4 of us to get from JFK to the ship? I've never been to New York, so I wasn't sure. Thanks!

Cruisinetta Posted May 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I did the inaugural on the Noordam. I flew into and out of JFK. Arriving, I used Taxi. Expensive! The have a Super Shuttle. It's kind of like a small bus, but much less expensive. To go back to JFK, I used HAL's transportation. It was nice but when I cruise the Noordam in December, I will use a taxi. Hope this helped.

mamaofami Posted May 9, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Four people and all that luggage will need at least two taxis. I wonder if a limo can accommodate all of you. If so, I would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u4ea Posted May 9, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Since there are 4 of you, you can share a cab or arrange for a car service. The cab should be a flat fee plus tolls.(not sure though) Either way, make sure you know the price beforehand. Have a great cruise:cool: Mark… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Cruises Posted May 9, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2007 We live in NY suburbs but have talked to many people on cruises we have been on out of NYC. If they were not on the HAL transfer plan, most traveled to the ship by taxis they got from JFK and LaGUARDIA. At the end of our last cruise this past March, we were on the taxi line and there was a lovely young couple on line ahead of us. They did their own travel plans rather than using HAL. They said that the transfer that HAL was offering from the ship to the airports was much higher than getting a taxi on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel Limo - both for pickup from JFK to the Hotel and Hotel to Pier. http://www.carmellimo.com/ 4 people and their luggage will never fit into a single taxi - even a Minivan-taxi, so you might as well go for the Limo...

penk99 Posted May 10, 2007 Author #7 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks so much for your help! I think given the luggage issue, the limo is probably the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
