cruisinfanatic Posted April 14, 2014 #27 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Parking is fine. It is $15/day. It's been $19 for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted April 14, 2014 #28 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I hear you maddy. You live in New Jersey. But there are 16 MILLION of us in NYC and Long Island. Seems the market is large enough to have ports BOTH in Bayonne and NYC! I live on Long Island, and I would much rather drive to Bayonne than into Manhattan. It's an easy peasy drive! The only time we cruised from Manhattan, we took a car service, and it was a nightmare (and cost almost double). Never again. I like the port in Red Hook Brooklyn that Princess sometimes uses, too. Very convenient and easy to drive to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharod Posted April 14, 2014 #29 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's been $19 for years Oops, everyone else is correct, it is $19/day. I just got it crossed with Baltimore that we just payed $15/day :p I take it you didn't read several posts after I quoted $15/day. I corrected myself hours ago :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIE 13 Posted April 14, 2014 #30 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If you want convenience and to be on the road in a short time after you leave the ship park at the pier. We have done this quit a few times. A Baggage handler picks up our bags in the terminal, we go through customs, he takes our bags to the car, I load the car and we are on our way home. Of course you can also carry your own bags which is even faster. $19.00 a day is correct and of course a tip for the baggage handler. Believe me its a lot easier and cheaper then going out of New York which I have done before Cape Liberty was built for RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogimax Posted April 14, 2014 #32 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I live on Long Island, and I would much rather drive to Bayonne than into Manhattan. It's an easy peasy drive! The "Easy Peasy"??? Can you drive us next time? How many bridges did you cross? How many tolls did you pay? How many traffic jams did you encounter? How long did you wait on the road to the pier? "East Peasy"??? You jest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted April 15, 2014 #33 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) "Easy Peasy"??? Can you drive us next time? How many bridges did you cross? How many tolls did you pay? How many traffic jams did you encounter? How long did you wait on the road to the pier? "East Peasy"??? You jest! We crossed two bridges, the Verrazzano and the Bayonne bridges. Very little traffic and we pulled right up to the tents all three times. Really it was painless Edited April 15, 2014 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many traffic jams did you encounter? How long did you wait on the road to the pier? "East Peasy"??? You jest! I live on Long Island also and would MUCH rather drive to Bayonne than NY anyday. Getting to the pier is horrendous and once you are there it can get very overcrowded. I happen to like the drive to Jersey. Not so Manhattan. I am leaving on Explorer on May 3. Even if I have to be diverted due to construction on the bridge, I am ok. If we leave from Manhattan we always take car service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacruiser Posted May 7, 2014 #35 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The last time we sailed out of Bayonne you would park the car then take a bus to the ship. Have they redone the port so you don't take a bus to the ship. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribbean sailor Posted May 7, 2014 #37 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Premier Parking is NOT a well run, nor properly insured nor licensed company..they'll hire ANYONE with a van to drive them... The paint issue has been resolved.. Park at the pier for $19 bucks a day..be safe, convenient and happy... Anything is better then leaving from New York.

marci22 Posted May 7, 2014 #38 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I would much rather go out of Bayonne than NYC. Park your car and it's a short walk to the waiting area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
