EWR to cruise ship

I researched this topic and it is so confusing I need help.

I want to take PATH or Airport Bus Svc from EWR to the docks in lower Manhattan to catch a cruise ship.

Anyone out there who can simplify this trip for me?

I need to now the specifics of where to catch the train or bus at EWR and where to transfer is needed and where to get off. I would like to get off as close to the ship (NCL-Jewel) as possible but realize I may have to take a cab on the last leg.

Does the Airport Shuttle and Path allow small carryon/roll aboard bags?

No one can simplify this for you because no cruise ships leave from docks in lower Manhattan.

Cruise ships leave either from the Passenger Ship Terminal on the West Side, about five miles north of ';lower Manhattan';, or from Red Hook in Brooklyn or Bayonee in New Jersey, both of which are across the harbor from lower Manhattan.

If you do not know the correct location of where you will be departing form, no one can tell you how to get there!!!

It%26#39;s the Passenger Terminal/West Side (Manhattan...not Brooklyn).

Arriving EWR the day before and will stay overnight at a EWR hotel. I have lots of time the next day to get to the ship.

you can either take the shuttle bus from the airport to Port Authority Bus Terminal and then a cab to the Piers (should be under $7.00) or you can take Path to Herald Square and a cab from there(a couple of dollars more than Port Authority)....it is possible to take a crosstown bus to 12th Avenue (both the 34th St Crosstown and the M42 go over there) but it won%26#39;t take you right to your ship and i think you are better off with a cab for the last leg

Also, you should have the exact Pier # plus the Street it is on for the cab driver

The Passenger Ship Terminal is on the Hudson River (called the ';North River'; for maritime purposes), extending westward into the water from Twelfth Avenue, which runs along the water%26#39;s edge. Unfortunately for you, no train (either railroad or subway) travels in that part of Manhattan any further west than Eighth Avenue. Eighth Avenue and Twelfth Avenue are about 2/3 of a mile (or one kilometer) apart, and with luggage you will obviously need transportation. There are buses, but luggage on a city bus is not a happy prospect; you are better off using a taxi.

I think your best options for getting into Manhattan are either the Airport Bus Service coach to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, or else the AirTrain to the NJ Transit Newark Airport train station, and then the NJ Transit train to Penn Station New York (and NOT the similarly named Penn Station Newark). From the bus terminal or Penn Station, walk outside to Eighth Avenue (you can also walk to Seventh Avenue from Penn, but you don%26#39;t want to) and get in one of the taxis which you will find at the taxi queue. Tell the driver that you are going to Pier ___ at the Passenger Ship Terminal, at Twelfth Avenue and ___ Street.

You may think ';Well, I know the pier number, but not the street!%26#39;, but actually knowing one will tell you the other: subtract 40 from the Pier number, and you have the street number. For example, Pier 90 is at 50th Street, Pier 91 is at 51st, and so on.

Unless you%26#39;re arriving very late at night, staying in Manhattan would be much nicer. Take the Airport Express bus (if you%26#39;re 1 or 2 people) to Port Authority bus terminal. There%26#39;s not much out at the airport, especially if you have all day the next day. Why not stay in Manhattan and then take a taxi to the pier. The Travel Inn is a budget hotel in Manhattan that%26#39;s not that far from the pier.
