raria Posted June 2, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Hi, As many people have advocated, its quite affordable to park in NJ (imperical pier) ($7 per day) and take the ferry to NYC 38th street. However, can anyone who has done this recently vouch if everything is still okay? Is it still okay to take luggage on the Ferry i.e. no security problems. Is it still $7 per day to park. Anyone done this recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvwater Posted June 2, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Another couple and I did this on my April 3rd cruise and had no problems at all. I have used the ferry on my last couple of trips. I like it better. A little walk so you have to watch how much luggage you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raria Posted June 2, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I tried calling the port authority and no one could help me. But an email said everything was fine. Where do you park and do they accept cash or plastic? the cost is now $9 for weekend and $7 during the week. But it looks like they charge by the day, so it will cost 3*$9 + 5*7 = $67 for parking plus $21 for the ferry. So this sames you about $80 over using the NYC pier parking facility. But not having to drive through Manhattan ... Priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasifguvui5uh Posted June 2, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I'm a little confused about "driving through Manhattan". I've seen this posted numerous times. I know absolutely nothing about NYC but have sailed out of NYC 4 or 5 times and never been in any heavy traffic. Am I missing something? We travel on 95 from RI, so would be heading south, and get off at the last exit in NY which is Exit 1. A couple of twists and turns and we are on what eventually becomes the Henry Hudson Highway- it's one long road but seems to change names every 100 feet. Am I going the long way around or something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raria Posted June 2, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The problem with Manhattan is that sometimes there are huge events that are just known by everyone in Manhattan but few other people. For example, I know that next Sunday (June 12th) is Puerto Rican day and can really stop the city in places. I'm sure all Manhattanites know how to overcome these issues, but I don't!

RJB209 Posted October 1, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I went to the NY Waterway site. They didn't show a schedule for a weekend ferry. Do they run on weekends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted October 1, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I went to the NY Waterway site. They didn't show a schedule for a weekend ferry.
