Transportation to the Cruise Port in Manhattan

My husband and I will be staying at the Hilton Penn Station and be going to NY City for a cruise. We want to take the train to Penn station NY. What is the line we will get on? Also how do we get to the Cruise Terminal at 711 12 Ave at 55th St. Is it to far to walk? Can we get there by Subway? Or do we have to take a taxi? Thanks

Just take whichever train that stops at Newark Penn Station bound for NYC Penn Station. Then I would take a taxi from there to the cruise terminal.

That should be take whichever NJ Transit train. The Amtrak trains are 2x as expensive.

Can we get to the Cruise Port by subway?

Nope. The furthest west that the subways go near the cruise terminal is 8th Avenue. If you look at a subway map you will see what I mean.

Unless your an employee of Amtrak you will not be able to use them to goto NYC from Newark. Here are a couple of links.

I have no idea what you just wrote there.

Amtrak *does* stop at Newark Penn Sation. And they *do* pick up passengers there before continuing on to NYC Penn Station. I just verified this myself on Amtrak.com

However, as I mentioned before there is no reason to take Amtrak since it is so expensive.
