5kitty Posted May 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2007 We have an upcoming cruise out of Port Liberty in New Jersey. Has anyone ever taken Amtrak into Newark (the airport)? How far to the pier? Cost for a taxi? I know that there are two Amtrak stops in Newark. Is it easier to get to the pier from the stop at Newark Airport or the other Newark stop? It seems that the trains from CT run more frequently into the airport stop. Is it easy to hail a taxi at the pier at the completion of the cruise? Thanks.

The airport or newark penn (which is probably the other stop you are referring to) is about 15 minutes away from the cruise port, maybe 20 if there is traffic. Either stop is fine. There should be taxi's available at the pier. If there aren't just have a cab company number available to call in case. Archie's and Bayonne Cab would be fine. I'm sure you could google to get their info. Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost of a taxi from Newark Airport to Cape Liberty Cruise Port is about $35.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJPNYC Posted May 31, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2007 A couple of quick words about Amtrak and Newark: 1.) there are 2 stations - Newark Penn Station (the main stop) and Newark Airport 2.) At the Newark Airport stop, not all trains stop there (none of the Acela trains do) and there is no connecting ground transportation except the Airtrain to Newark Airport. 3.) Your best bet is to get off at Newark Penn Station and get a cab there. There is a taxi line there and as mentioned it's probably about a 20 minute ride to Port Liberty from there. There's also many more trains that stop at Newark Penn Station as ALL trains stop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgh20037 Posted June 4, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I have been researching this same info - and found that Newark Penn is the best place to leave the train. (We will be coming in from D.C.) This is a link I found to cab fares in Newark - but bottom line is from Penn Station and the Airport the fare is $30 (plus tip of course). http://www.bayonnelra.com/press/cab.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
