Help, first time for New England/Canada

[REGINA]

Hope someone out there can help us. We have always gone out of FL (and San Juan).

 

Oct we are going out of NY on the Triumph. We are driving to port from Baltimore, MD. Any suggestions?? Not sure how long drive will take. How easy is it parking at the port. Can husband drop me and luggage at terminal and then park. Any other info will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

We are on our first Carnival from NY to Canada/NE in September and here is an article I thought was interesting. We may plan to try this:

Parking - We parked at Port Imperial in Weehawken, New Jersey and ferried to midtown. Parking was $7.00 for weekend days, $9.00 for weekdays, for a total of $66.00. The ferry is $5.50 per person, per trip. The total was $88.00. This pales in comparison to $198.00 at the pier plus tunnel or bridge fares of $6.00.

 

When we got off the ferry in midtown (West 38th and 12th) we rolled our baggage up 12th from 38th to 50th (12 short blocks) when the ship was waiting for us. We don't mind walking and are very physically fit, so the 10 minute walk was a breeze. From the ferry pier to the ship and beyond in both directions is a Harbourwalk pathway. This path is paved and completely improved for walking, running, biking, blading, or rolling luggage. We walked to and from the ship.
