mdaviswv Posted July 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Unfortunately probably not unless you park in New Jersey and get transportation over to the pier. I've read some creative ways to save money on parking on here. Hope you find something you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted July 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2014 the least expensive way is to park in Port Imperial and then walk to the pier(about a half mile or so) ,, http://www.nywaterway.com/indoorparkinggarage.aspx check with them and make sure they still allow overnight parking for 9 days. also if its bad weather you really may be better off at the pier. there are some parking lots that offer a small savings in the area...but. https://www.google.com/search?q=discount+parking+NYC&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=sb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find out if you can park at a metro north station in lower westchester. New Rochelle has a huge parking facility and since Amtrak makes a stop in new ro they should have a plan for long term parking. Just take metro north ( not Amtrak) into grand central and cab to port. It will cost$480 to part at the port so even with the inconvenience of my plan you should save money Also it depends on where you are coming from as to wether or not you should even bother to drive and also how many of you are cruising If just 2 or 3 public transport might work For a family of 6 coming from Pittsburgh well then just figure it as a cost if cruising and be happy you don't need to fly Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited July 14, 2014 by luvtheships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvtheships Posted July 14, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Not sure why you quoted me but it must have been because I said $480 and not $400. Oops my bad. Lol Personally I would pay the $400 if i didnt live as close as i do and driving and parking was my only option because the pier is the safest most convenient place to park. No worries at all. However I only live 30 minutes away by train and on my next 12 day in a few months I am just getting a ride in from a close family member at no charge as there is no way I am paying $400 because I live too close but if I lived further and less convenient the pier is the best ace to park IMHO Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited July 14, 2014 by luvtheships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We considered metro north but for 5 of us the savings was only about $100 and not worth the hassle as we would still need a cab from home to train and train to port Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbaraanne Posted July 14, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted July 14, 2014 We're staying at a Residence Inn in NJ and then taking Dial 7 car service. Parking at the hotel is free as long as you stay at least one night. Wow, thanks everyone! I should have stated that we are from upstate NY (Utica) and have a 4-5 hour drive to the city and/or train ride. We have never taken the train, so we aren't familiar with how to do it. The Hotel/parking option seems good to me, but the cruise is 12 days...wonder if that would be a problem? I thought I saw somewhere that there was a nearby parking that charged $28/day and had valet service to the pier. Anyone know anything about this? Also, thanks for letting me know that $400 is the most we will pay at the pier...that is good to know! Thanks all, and any more help you can give me would be great!

luvtheships Posted July 14, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Ok so now that's another wrinkle being its February and you are coming from Utica. If I were you I would be coming in the day before the cruise and getting a hotel So free hotel parking is what you are looking for probably in jersey and then a car service to the port. Or better yet I would do public transportation into NYC and stay in the city and cab it to the port. Amtrak? However I would still do it a day early and depending on the forecast maybe 2 days early The price of port or any parking is moot now since it is February but the beauty of it is you can carefully watch the weather and might still be possible to leave home at 4 am and park at the port or you can have a hotel ressie that you can utilize or cancel if need be. Do buy a travel policy that will cover you in case of a car related delay on the way to the port. A flat could be as devastating as a 10 mile backup due to an accident. You don't say how many of you are cruising so that of course needs to be factored in My 2 dds and I are cruising in January and even though we are only 30 minutes north we even have plan b at the ready. If dh can't drive us due to weather we are doing metro north and cab or subway( then walking) to port Going home I fully plan to utilize my feet to the subway to metro north to home because the cab line will be tremendous and having dh drive in at 9 am on a Friday morning seems like madness Oh and we always only travel with a 21 inch roll on and tote/ back pack that will attach to the roll on Regardless of what you choose to do I would be within quick driving distance on the morning of the cruise be it a jersey or NYC hotel Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited July 14, 2014 by luvtheships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanee Posted July 14, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 14, 2014 If you want to be a complete penny-pincher, and have some time to spare, try this. Drop everyone off at the port, pretty early. Drive over to Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, and you can park on the street for free. Tons of parking and no street cleaning. Take the Q train to 47th street and cab to the pier. I park there all the time when I go on a trip. No tickets and free parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw the op is coming in from Utica. I say plan to drive to a hotel near the gwb anywhere from 24 to 48 hours ahead If need be book a room in jersey and leave the car and get into NYC early as possible maybe even an extra night in NYC if need be Another poster said they are staying a few blocks from the pier This would be my plan in February.

Not to mention digging the car out from a snow mound and then there are all the others cars and people to deal with not to mention what if the car won't start!! To the op my bottom line suggestion is just come in to NYC via public transport and enjoy a night or 2 pre cruise in NYC You got an incredible deal on the cruise so why not get half price broadway tix at the tkts booth? Buy a room thru groupon at a deep discount? Enjoy the extra time!!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited July 14, 2014 by luvtheships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
