Stevie44875 Posted April 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Does anyone know of shuttle services to the airport to contact to schedule a pickup from dock to airport? I am looking for options to get to the airport without taking a taxi. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted April 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2013 There are shared ride shuttles available at the port (turn left after you exit the terminal building and you should find the dispatcher) with no reservations required. Latest reports say the fare is $16 per person to EWR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfiveoh Posted May 1, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Can you tell me how much time to allow to get to EWR on a Sunday morning? I'm hoping that a 12:30 pm flight will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about 20 minutes if there are no traffic delays. Assuming the ship arrives on time, is cleared promptly for disembarkation, and there are no unusual delays getting through customs/immigration at the cruise terminal or TSA at the airport, you should be OK with a 12:30 pm flight.

shoesonfire Posted May 1, 2013 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Does anyone know the current taxi fare from Cape Liberty Pier to Newark Airport. I've seen anywhere from $30 to $50, does it include 4 people and what if any additional fees or toll costs. Curious if its less expensive than taking shuttles at $16 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted May 1, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I haven't seen any quotes for a taxi at $30 and even $50 may be low. Look at Independent driver - 888-816-0973. They should charge you $40 or $45 for 4 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cos24 Posted May 2, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 2, 2013 On the shared shuttle ride back to the airport from the cruise port, does anyone know what is the approximate wait time the shuttle hangs out at the cruiseport before taking off for the airport?

138east Posted May 2, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's my understanding that they leave when they are full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEcruzr Posted May 9, 2013 #10 Share Posted May 9, 2013 How big are the shuttles to the airport... as in, how many people do they hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted May 9, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The most common vehicle I've seen is a 9-10 passenger van. They're small compared to a cruise transfer bus. They fill them up and send them off. This is big business in the area - they want to make as many trips as possible to the airport. The ships often arrive at a really dead time like a Sunday morning. The locals want to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

138east Posted May 11, 2013 #13 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Unfortunately no. There's not enough concentration of folks arriving to support a shuttle operation to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
