If you’re flying into New York City (JFK, La Guardia, or Newark Airport) and trying to get to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal, you may think that purchasing the cruise line transfer or hopping a cab is your best bet. And yes, both of them will get you there but it could be a little pricey.
A cruise line transfer will run you about $30 per person from JFK, La Guardia and Newark. According to the NYC Taxi Fare Calculator, the rates from airport to cruise port can run anywhere between $50-$75 each way, before tip. Uber is a little cheaper but even their almost as bad as cab fares in the city.

Final Thoughts
If you have a ton of luggage, you’re better off avoiding the subway all together. The speed of the stops and crowds are better off being avoided all together.
