steveandjen Posted April 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Hello, DW and I are leaving on Anthem on Sun Jan 3. We are staying at the Hampton Inn at the airport and will be there for 4 days prior to the cruise (NYE in Times Square = bucket list item) What would be the best, economical way to get from the Hampton to Bayonne? We will then be arriving back to Bayonne (From Anthem) on Thur Jan 14. What is the most economical way to get to EWR from the port? Our flight does not leave till 6pm so time is not a factor. Thanks for your help! Steve & Jen Edited April 26, 2015 by steveandjen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted April 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) What are you paying for the Hampton? Why did you select this hotel? Edited April 26, 2015 by 138east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

138east Posted April 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2015 What are you paying for the Hampton? Is it a park/sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted April 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2015 To get to the port you are going to have to arrange a car service fir $55-60. Coming back you can take a shared shuttle to the airpor port for $16/pp. How are are planning on going in and out of NYC, particularly on New Years Eve?

steveandjen Posted April 26, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted April 26, 2015 We figured PATH from the Penn Station to and from. We thought we would leave around 9am and hang out in NYC and then sleep will be not an option on NYE with the millions of people trying to get out of Times Square. Does that sound about right? (We have never done this before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We have never done this before) How are you planning to get to Newark Penn Station from the Hampton? You need to understand the transportation system better.

steveandjen Posted April 26, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted April 26, 2015 We figured the shuttle to the airport from the Hampton, then the train from the airport to Penn Station to NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted April 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 27, 2015 We figured the shuttle to the airport from the Hampton, then the train from the airport to Penn Station to NYC. The NJ Transit train from Newark Airport Station to New York Penn Station is $12.50/pp each way. From there you can walk to Times Square. The train from the airport to Newark Penn Station is $8.25 and PATH to downtown Manhattan is $2.75. On New Years Eve there are two trains back to the airport at 1 and 1:22 am (check schedule). If you miss those trains you should consider taking the airport bus back to the airport for $16/pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
