I’m cruising out of Cape Liberty in May, on our return will be spending a few days in Midtown Manhattan, can anyone provide any advice on best way to get to Midtown? Taxis seem very expensive from the port can’t seem to find a shuttle services and public transport would be a challenge with all our luggage, any advice gratefully received :)

(part 1) In the NY metro area transport other than mass transit is very expensive, no way around it. Rideshares spend more time on the surge pricing schedule than on "standard". Taxis & car services have very high ins. rates + million $ medallion fees, that trickles down to the customer. NYC hotels don't offer shuttles. Don't forget tolls & street  congestion pricing. . .

(part 2) In the fall it was not unusual during the road flooding rains storms (happens in Apr & May as well) Jersey City which is near Bayonne to Times Square area a rideshare would run $175 (tolls included). Many find staying NJ (if in a hotel) then taking the PATH or transit into the city 2 more cost effective.
