CORKY_Q Posted September 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2013 We've got a 6:00 flight out after we debark in the a.m. Don't know the area at all and not sure that we want to spend the day waiting in the airport. Anyone got a good idea or two? Thanks.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.:) Also try posting in the East Coast Departures board: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=415 There are some folks there who are very knowledgeable about the local area, travel times to NY City, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcguy Posted September 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2013 No offense to those in the tri state area, but there's not a whole lot to see in the garden state in the time you have allotted. Assuming you are leaving out of EWR, going into Manhattan would be a challenge, but not impossible if you check your luggage then take the air train from the airport into the city. You could always go stand by on an earlier flight or purchase a day pass at an airline club. Go gators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cshgrand Posted September 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 28, 2013 If you are going from Newark, there is a mall with a bus service from the airport. They have lots of restaurants and a cinema. It's called Jersey Gardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfish216 Posted September 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Depending on your interest you can visit the Liberty Science Center http://lsc.org It's located in New Jersey about 5-6 miles from Cape Liberty, maybe a 15- 20 minute cab ride. The ride back to Newark airport is fast (all highway) should take about 20 minutes if you are not traveling during rush hour traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted September 29, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2013 You can disembark early, take a shuttle or cab to the airport, rent a car, and drive back to Liberty State Park (see previous post about Liberty Science Center) and take the ferry out to Ellis Island and/or the Statue of Liberty. This will give you storage for your luggage and would be easiy doable with a 6 pm flight, but you'd have to get going in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
