What is the best and cheapest way to get from the NCL Cruise dock in Dover to Stansted airport?
Best way is booking with NCL coach transfer
Cheapest may be taxi to train. It will be 2 trains and a taxi or tube or bus between the 2 trains.
I'm sure someone will give much more concise information on this.
National Express is probably your best bet. That's the large, bus company that goes all over the UK. Their site says they stop at the cruise dock, and I'm sure they'll take you to Stansted or at least close by.

It depends on how much time you are prepared to spend set against how much money.
Fastest way will be taxi (or bus) to Dover train station, train to London, then take the Stansted Express train (stops underneath the terminal building).
www.nationalrail.co.uk for train times and fares.
Coach will be cheaper, but slower. Although National Express lists the port terminal as a stopping point you will find you still have to get into Dover central bus station to get the Stansted coach (taxi or bus from the cruise terminal). The journey takes 5+hours.
I would advise you to book your coach tickets online if you choose this option (seats cannot otherwise be guaranteed). Be aware that National Express coaches have a limit on the amount of 'hold' baggage you can take ('2 medium-size suitcases wweighing no more than 20kg each'): carrying extra is at the discretion of the driver.
An alternative might be to get the train into London, then take a coach to Stansted. Links and info here:

Dover Castle is quite large and from on top of the ramparts you can gaze across the English Channel (weather permitting) and see France. We went to Dover with my sister and two sailor friends that only had a short port call. They really wanted to go to the races at first, but thanked me for diverting them to such a cultural icon. They have circumnavigated the globe and really enjoyed their visit to Dover.
Spending time with Aunt Ann and Uncle Dave. I was originally to spend two nights with them, but as I couldn't get a berth on the Friday sleeper to Glasgow I had to take the Thursday one, which meant one less night with them. So we rushed about on the Thursday, going to Dover Castle in the morning and Canterbury in the afternoon. A quick dinner at a restaurant and then back to the house to pack my things. Dropping me off later at Chatham Station to get to London to catch my train to Glasgow. Thank you Aunt Ann, Uncle Dave, it was short but sweet!
Dover's Waterfront offers great views of the cliffs, harbour, and local watersports,hehe really something for me It's always busy and active during the warmer season.
On the Esplanade,near the sea.
Pencester Park, right in the middle of Dover, on a nice day is really good, but busy. There are skateboarders and also a bandstand, though I have never seen any bands! It is the recreation space neaxt to the town centre
Dover even has it's own race circuit!
It is about 5 miles out of town on the way to Canterbury. It is a friendly circuit and is suitable for all the family.
I think that nowadays it is mainly motorcycle racing that takes place here. Bring suitable clothing for the day!
