Yes, that Hilton has a shuttle....it's a bit farther away, maybe a 15-20 minute trip due to lights and traffic but they do have an airport shuttle, it'll say NEWARK PENN STATION HILTON, so be sure to get the correct one.  They have, in the past, asked for your name so that they can verify you're a guest.  

Ok, so I am interested in this hotel. I called to confirm the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. They said they run them 24 hrs a day and to call when we are in. No carseats required on the shuttle bus. However, what is our best means of transportation from the hotel to Cape Liberty? I'm thinking of leaving the carseats behind now if we don't need them, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to get to Cape Liberty without them.

If you’re going into The 911 Memorial, also look at the Newark Penn Station Hilton because of the easy PATH access.  PATH will be $2.75/pp each way. This cuts out the train from EWR to Newark Penn which will cost $8.50 for adults each way and $1.85 for children under 12 - almost a $40 savings plus cutting the travel time by at least 30 minutes each way.

Is there convenient transportation from the airport to this hotel?

First let’s clarify the car seat situation with your children before we find you a hotel.   How old are they and exactly how tall are they?  I think the kids can ride the airport shuttles.  They can definitely ride the train.  Would you be bringing the booster seats?

 

The Best Western cruise package is competitively priced for your date.

 

 

Yes, I will be bringing their seats. 5 & 6, and both are in high-back boosters. 

Hi All,

New to this site, and to cruising. I am looking for advice. Family of 4, 2 adults 2 young children will be cruising on Royal Caribbean from May 31st-June 8th. We are planning to take an early flight into Newark International Airport on the 30th, and I am looking at the Best Western nearby the airport as I have read that they provide a shuttle to Cape Liberty. Open to other options that are nearby, and have means of transportation with kids. Breakfast included would be a plus! We are fine with 2 queen or full beds. 

We would like to do some sightseeing, the day we get in, particularly interested in seeing the Twin Tower Memorial. Kids are both in booster seats so this impedes on traveling, is our best option to take trains? Are we able to take the shuttle with booster seats? We have never been to the city, so I'm not even sure where to begin. Advice would be greatly appreciated!
