i waited a bit too long to book a hotel for the day before/after cruise, and some of the recommended accommodations were totally booked! upon a bit of research, i found a user reported bedbug free/not gross, safer location, close to port (approx 10 minutes from Cape Liberty Cruise Port) accommodations with a great Cruise Parking Package at:
Country Inn & Suites by Carlson* - Newark Airport NJ
100 Glimcher Realty Way, Elizabeth, NJ
i doubt one is allowed to link to outside websites in this forum(?), so just copy and paste the above into your search engine or map of choice, if need be. (*i am not affiliated with RCI or Country Inn/Carlson, just sharing info to help others.)
their all-inclusive cruise package is called "Sleep-Park-Cruise", and it's very affordable. for $298 (including taxes, our particular package included 1 night king bed, complementary continental breakfast, wifi, up to 10 days of parking, and a free shuttle from the hotel to the boat and back! (amongst other things). i'm no longer a smoker, but i noticed the hotel/room is non-smoking, as are all of the accommodations which i researched in the port area, although i'm sure one could just take a walk! the associates are super friendly on the phone. they induced a 1 night stay for our arrival back at port for an additional $99, which induced tax, i believe.
i can't recall how much parking was per night *for the package* or if it was only included as a block of 10 nights, but i just a 1 Night double occupancy (w/ parking, but no extended cruise parking) is advertised as $119 + tax. again, approx 10 min from port, and they have vacancies.
i hope this helps someone seeking lodging! this is my first cruise, and i GREATLY APPRECIATE all the help i've found within the CC forums! best regards~

oh yes, definitely. what time would you recommend one arrive at port? knowing my mother, she'll want to leave at midnight the night before. ;)
