Creator's Key Takeaways

The Statue of Liberty is in the background and and Ellis Island. And it's it's literally goosebumps. Just feels bigger than life.

We got an Uber ride for $20 using the app, and the drivers in port were asking us for $85 to $95. Big difference.

New York moves fast. Don't try and see it all. Pick a couple of neighborhoods and really soak them in.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the Uber/Lyft app to avoid inflated prices from drivers at the terminal.

✓If interested in a ship's tour, do it to get priority in the CBP line.

✓When taking the Staten Island Ferry for views, stay on the starboard (right) side when departing Manhattan.

✓Check the TKTS booth in Times Square for discounted Broadway tickets.

Getting to hotels — Choose a hotel in Brooklyn or downtown Brooklyn; Red Hook has limited walking distance options like The Lodge Red Hook.

Navigating security/customs — Have cruise documents and passports readily available and factor in 45 minutes to 2 hours for the process.
