is there like a ship that can take me from North Carolina to New York?

if there is, how long does it take?

Your best bet would be to hop on a train.

I don't think there are any ships that leave from NC to NY.

why would you even want to take a ship?

cruise ships are notorious for spreading diseases at a high concentrated rate.

i'm just looking for an alternative to taking a plane. i know a road trip would take like 9 hours right? never been to north carolina.

how long will a train ride take?

No clue I have never done it, you will have to do some research on that.

You could probably also take a bus but I know that the bus will take longer than the train.

From my experience, train rides aren't that much faster than driving. Maybe 1 or 2 hours is shaved off, but that's it. I don't think we have those super fast European trains in North America.

Edit: buses take as long as driving, maybe longer because they might make more stops.

yeah America's 30 years or more behind Europe in train travel, it's pretty bad. Still faster and less annoying than driving though.

Way more comfortable and probably more affordable as well, in the long run. Some rail lines also offer WiFi and other luxuries for trips that are longer than an hour too.

buses are awful you DON"T want to do that. They take way longer than driving because of all the stops that they take. It will probably take you a day or so to get to NY from North Carolina on a bus.

Been searching about boat rides... google doesn't give me much.

I definitely don't want to drive. If there is no middle ground between a plane and driving, i'll take the plane.
