138east Posted May 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't see a problem doing this. When do you sail? The train costs $11 and takes 45 minutes to an hour. They run about twice an hour. The only issue I can think of is if you have to park your car at Hamilton Station on a weekday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted May 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Provided you're capable of getting your luggage onto the train at Hamilton and off a Newark Penn Station without any help, yes. I don't recommend you travel on a rush hour train as it will be very crowded and NJ Transit trains aren't designed with a lot of room for luggage because they're commuter trains. You'll have to take a taxi from Newark Penn Station to Cape Liberty...which will cost about $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted May 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Good point. However, the train platforms are level with the train - no train steps to go up and down. There will also be ramps to get to the platform level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty83 Posted May 9, 2011 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Parking at the Hamilton station is $10 every 24 hours. You may wish to consider the additional $9/day at the port vs. the hassle of taking luggage on the train/in the taxi. (I live in Hamilton - I plan to drive to the port) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted May 9, 2011 #6 Share Posted May 9, 2011 That's pricey parking. It will cost you $44 for the train, $100+ for the cab, plus $10/day to park. A 12 day cruise would be about break even and anything less it is more expensive to park and take the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
