cruisinnewbie Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hi all, I searched the archives and didn't see this topic - my apologies if it's been covered. Any advice on parking at or near the port in Bayonne for our upcoming (March) Anthem cruise? Is it best to use their parking? Is there a convenient and/or cheaper option nearby? Thanks for any experiences you can share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I always park at the port, especially Bayonne because of how isolated the port is. They built a new garage and it's great. cruisinnewbie, D Alt, RCIfan1912 and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va4fam Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 @Matt is correct! The parking garage is just a few feet from the the entrance to the terminal. Super convenient. cruisinnewbie, RCIfan1912 and D Alt 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinnewbie Posted November 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Thanks, all! Glad to hear it’s easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK6404 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yes, very easy! As you enter the terminal area, you pull over to the right to drop off your baggage and then drive a few hundred feet or so more just past the terminal to the parking garage.

Shay Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Parking at the port is $_25/day, which on a 7 nite cruise is about $175= too much. Can anyone recommend a safe parking option with a cheaper rate? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no help with parking alternatives, I've only parked at the terminal. Good luck. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellcee Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 The terminal is easy enough to access and park. $30 a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 I heard the price was supposed to increase to $30 a day on Oct 15… I just got off the Oasis after a back to back and paid $350. So….$25 a day. I boarded on Oct 17. Maybe the increase has been delayed? Shay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff P Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 It’s probably not the cheapest but it’s definitely the most convenient, plus if it snows your car is covered at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karl_nj Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 I was still charged $25/day when I disembarked Oasis on 10/31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozswoman Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 There was a secondary parking location but unfortunately it is listed as closed due to COVID with no reopening date. They are correct the parking is right next to the port and when we were there in Sept it was $25 per day. You can see if any hotels in Newark area will allow parking and then Uber over. I joked that we should just park at the apartments next to the port and Uber over. We drove around and there isn't designated parking or passes for the ones we went through! LOL Unfortunately all of my family has left Bayonne so I no longer have free parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geektastic Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Not sure where you're coming from but a friend I know mentioned this as an option. Cruise Shuttle Hotels and transfers are the only options I could think of but I don't think that's really going to save you that much.

Shay Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi everyone, Has anyone cruised out of Bayonne in Nov. 2021? If so, has the daily cost to park increased to $30 yet? It's been confirmed that parking was $25/day in October. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I got off the Oasis on Oct 31 and it was still $25. I get off the Anthem on Sunday and I’ll see at that time what it is……unless someone already knows?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WannaCruise Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Does parking at the port ever run out of spots? Or that's not a worry? i.e. wondering if we need a backup location if we drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also Celebrity ships that sail from the same port, and the parking is enough to accommodate passengers from the Summit (smaller ship) along with Anthem (larger ship). So until Celebrity sends Summit back next late spring, there is extra parking. WannaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be one on 69 Hook rd. It's closed until further notice. Bayonne terminal now charges $25 US a day. We are Canadians, so the exchange kills us. Can you explain how the terminal parking works? drop off your bags and park? Whats the procedure at disembark ? Drag you bags to parking? how far is the walk?

You drive your car about 150 yards to the parking garage and take a ticket. You park. You walk out of the garage and about 100 yards to the terminal. Couldn't be easier. If the garage is full, there is a lot across the street, same price. After the cruise you put your ticket in a machine and pay $25x#days. You can either bring your bags to your car, or someone in the party can wait with the bags while someone else gets the car. Load up the car. Put the ticket in the machine on the way out. Drive home. cruiserccl and emmef 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leesam82 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Just got off the Anthem OTS at Bayonne today. It was $25/per day. I did not use the porter for disembarkation as the garage is so close to the exit from customs.

JJBones Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 @Edmund I have driven from the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Even with the exchange(I think I paid somewhere around $1USD=$1.40CAD), it is well worth the price. Considering airfare if you fly in / transfers from airport to terminal. What I found amazing was doing the self-disembarkation(with my luggage), I left the ship around 7am was through the terminal and back in my car around 7:30-7:45am. On the road and back in Canada around 3pm. Recently priced airfare (for 3)from Toronto to Newark, with taxes, over $1000. Had to do it this time as I was unable to take off time from work to accommodate a drive down. Plus wasn't sure the land border would be open in time for my Dec 12 Cruise.

This is what we are doing for our next cruise. Considering the 2 hour drive for us to Pearson airport, all of the waiting at the airport and delays etc can add up to 15 hours to get to Miami. 10 hours to drive to NJ and it sounds like a great spot to board a ship!
