The New York Waterway terminal is located at Pier
78 on 38th Street and the Hudson River, a location that is readily
accessible from anywhere in the city. You can hail a taxi if you wish, but
everyone knows that the best means of travel in the Big Apple is by public
transportation. Hotel lobbies and local candy stores overflow with schedules
and maps of city buses and the subway system, but you can check out this
information at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's website at http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/.
The New York Waterway provides free bus service to the pier
from many midtown locations, including several major hotels. The buses stop at
many regular New York City bus
stops and they go straight to the cruise ship. The red, white and blue colors
of these buses make them hard to miss (even in midtown traffic), but to check
their locations and schedules, call 800-533-3779.
