Cheap Cruise Holidays & Latest Cruises Deals

We took the Explorer of the Seas from Cape Liberty in Feb this year but booked cruise only. We flew for a good price via Virgin Atlantic to JFK and had 3 days in a Manhattan hotel whihc is definately where you need to stay to enjoy a taste of NYC. However whilst a yellow cab JFK to Manhattan is okay, most won't take you to Cape Liberty because it's in New Jersey and they are not allowed to collect fairs from there so want to charge for the return trip if they will go. We used a company called Newyorklimo.com - they are not cheap but considering they transfer you is style and comfort and you can incorporate a tailor made tour when you travel Cape Liberty to JFK it is definately worth the peace of mind. They have a UK redirect contact number (020) 7 993-8083. One word of wanring though they want you to reserve with a credit card but if you then use up your spare dollars and pay in cash on the day they may accidentally bill you card as well but they did rectify it and refund straight away with a simple email. If you fly to Newark aiport taxis to the cruise port are fine but you will have to consider the cheaper train into Manhattan for your tour if you stay in a Newark hotel and check tripadvisor before you commit because it is not the nice safer area that Manhattan is.

We use Supershuttle from Liberty/Newark. They are a shared ride 10/12 seater bus, about $20pp into central Manhattan, about a 20 minute ride. Just do a search on the 'net' & best to prebook online...Wilba

Not completely sure what you mean. Which airport do you fly into? Where are you hoping to spend the night? Are you there just for one night? Are you aware of the geography of Cape Liberty, by the way it is probably one of the worst ports to embark from, and what were you hoping to do? If you are considering a hotel on the Newark side of the water read up about them on sites like tripadvisor. Sorry to be so negative but answers would help us decide what to tell you. ......Neil
