Help-Cape Liberty or Philadelphia

[voyagerII]

Driving from Indiana in September for 7 night Bermuda. Any suggestions for ease,security and parking prices at either of these ports? Horizon or Zenith choice is not the issue.

Living near Philly I drive near the port very often and fine the parlking ample and I KNOW the traffic is better around Philly vs. NYC. Knowing both places, i would leave out of Philly.

Thank you

thmsmcdnld,

 

Can you tell us how long it will take to get from Newark to Cape Liberty. We'll be flying into Newark on 22 Sept at 1230 (middle of the week)? Also do you of any good limo services?

 

Thanks in advance - Dave and Elaine

No more than 15 minutes from airport to seaport...under 5 miles

 

No need at all for a limo----just grab a cab-much cheaper for such a short trip.

Hi, We live outside of Philly and took the Horizon and had a great time but when you leave from Philly you have less time in Bermuda then you would leaving from the NY area. I think it takes about eight hours just to get to the Ocean.But with either cruise you will still have a great time.:D

The Ramada Inn - Essington offers a stay and park offer in Philly. You can also use this paid lot (Park and Jet) without staying at the hotel. We have used both and have had no problems. About 3 miles from the Airport. Shuttle service back and forth.

I live in Central Jersey and I say it is easier to sail out of Bayonne. You can find out info at http://www.*****.com/bayonne/ If you are flying into Newark the port is about maybe 15 mins. Leave the terminal and get on the line for the cabs. Parking is very secure, there is a guard at the gate and if you don't belong there you will not get in. If you are driving CapeLiberty is about 5 mins off the turnpike. Pat

About 15 minutes.Dropped my daughter off at Newark airport yesterday and went through Bayonne to Staten Island.The time from terminal B to the entrance to Cruiseport was 15 minutes.

Thanks to all of you who gave us information and advice for getting from Newark Airport to Cape Liberty. Because of the short distance, we'll probably just take a cab.

With the security guard at the port, is it possible to park your car there before your cruise if you are not cruising that day. We are doing a transatlantic so we are flying out of Newark but returning to the port. Figure that we could show the cruise document to prove we are coming back.

 

Was hoping to do this so we could hop off the ship and hop in the car.

It's cheaper to park your car at Newark Airport $10 a day for long term parking compared to $12 a day at the cruiseport.I'm sure you can park there by showing your cruise doc's but unless there is a cruise leaving Cape Liberty,I doubt that yoy can easily get a taxi to Newark Airport.If it was me I'd park at the airport and taxi from the cruiseport when you get back
