We have a while for our NY Cruise, booked 11/4/17 "Jersey Week".... plan on taking Academy bus to Port Authority night before, its 1 mile from our house with free parking $20pp each way, then a taxi to either Ink Hotel or Comfort Inn, 5 minute walk to terminal, staying the night before. taxi to Port Authority and Bus home. Hubby works near Madison Square Garden and takes these buses daily with little concerns.....
