Tips for Cruise

Explore the Other Districts

Don't stay alone in Manhattan. Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx have vibrant neighborhoods, great food, and a more local atmosphere.

Cross the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan

For the best skyline views as you walk, start in Brooklyn (DUMBO) and walk toward Manhattan.

Fast Pace

Walk to the right on the sidewalk and don't stop suddenly in mid-step. If you need to stop, step aside.

Be Direct and Concise

When ordering in a store or a cafe, be clear about what you want. Efficiency is valued above formalities.

Tap Water is Excellent

New York tap water is high quality and perfectly drinkable. Refill your bottle to save money and plastic.

Essential Travel Insurance

The US healthcare system is extremely expensive. It is absolutely crucial to travel with comprehensive health insurance that covers any emergency.

Surveillance in Crowded Areas

The main risk is pickpockets in places like Times Square or on the subway. Carry your bag closed and in front.

Common Sense at Night

Avoid walking through parks or dimly lit streets late at night. If you travel on the subway at dawn, stay in the cars with the most people.
