Newark is physically the closest major airport to Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne but being a "best option" will depend on where you're coming from. Is there a direct flight? Are flights into LaGuardia or JFK less expensive or at better times? Do you have a good early afternoon return flight option for the day you get back?

What is your budget? There are all of the usual suspects in and around EWR. Personally I prefer the full service Marriott that is right on hotel grounds but there are a ton of options depending on what brands you prefer and how much you want to spend.

Newark is the absolute best option unless it is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive.

 

Hotel depends on when your flight gets in and if you want to do any local sightseeing before the cruise.

 

Late at night stay at the hotel at/near the airport and taxi/uber the next day.  If it is not rush hour maybe a 20 minute drive from the airport to the port.

Budget? If you want to start your vacation early, depending on when you arrive, waterfront hotels in jersey city/weehawken are nice, restaurants and shopping, gorgeous views of Manhattan, easy transportation to nyc. You will need a taxi/Uber/Lyft from all hotels, I don’t think they have shuttles to cape liberty.
