Montemy2419 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 We will be going out of this port for the first time next year. Good to know about the parking rates and may take the train instead of the car for our week cruise. Any recommendations for a Hilton branded hotel near the port ? We are just starting to look at the hotels for an April 2024 cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Miller Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Uggghhh... Now I really need to start considering the offsite lots. They must be overjoyed at this news. Their business is going to get a bump for sure. Jjohnb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryCS62 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 We live 40 minutes from the port, and are seriously considering doing a "park,stay,cruise" hotel the night before our B2B in August (16 nights total) as it may end up being cheaper....

KevinK Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Wow $25 per day, 8 days cruise is $200. Now they raise to $30, that's way expensive. Shay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanHardlyWait Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 I live an hour and half from my nearest airport and pay the same amount there per day. Seems average to me. Taxi, car service etc not an option. Srp431 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! I am fortunate to have family usually drop off/pick up and we are over an hour away. I have a long cruise and would definitely consider the hotel stay if I can’t get a ride.

In August she is, and don't really have anyone close enough to bring us// pick up, especially early in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will not only be our first time cruising from the port but we will have extended family so I am trying to make this as easy as possible.

The attempts to save on the parking cost will come at a convenience expense of some sort. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayFrosty Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Lots of reports last year of overcrowding at the Cape Liberty lots. This might be a way of mitigating that. Supply and demand and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just starting to look at the hotels for an April 2024 cruise. If you're driving and want something different, consider Staten Island (we stumbled onto the idea during Boy Scout camping trip) - Hampton Inn and Suites Staten Island, New York Hotel (hilton.com) (free basic breakfast, perfect for pre-cruise) https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/ewrsigi-hilton-garden-inn-new-york-staten-island/ (no free breakfast, unusual for this brand) We used Staten Island Ferry for a day in Manhattan. Then super-easy ~20 min drive over the Bayonne Bridge. Also some great pizza nearby - Joe & Pat's Pizzeria And Restaurant | Staten Island, New York (joeandpatsny.com) Denino's Pizzeria & Tavern | 718-442-9401 (deninossi.com) And if the season is right (they shut down) - Ralph's Italian Ices & Ice Cream, 501 Port Richmond Ave (near Denino's) MaryCS62 and Montemy2419 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Alt Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 and they used to have a discount for cruises 7 days + but that is gone too. No weekly rate. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
