BILLP1 Posted July 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Does anyone know if they are ever going to build the new parking garage adjacent to the new terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted July 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Construction started a couple of months ago. Here's a picture taken in early May: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=46516693&postcount=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickdon19 Posted July 6, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi, I have a cruise that leaves Port Liberty on July 25. I need to park in the area. I see there is parking by the ship at 14 Port Terminal Blvd (Bayonne). Can anyone tell me how far this is and is it walking distance? Much appreciated, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see there is parking by the ship at 14 Port Terminal Blvd (Bayonne). Can anyone tell me how far this is and is it walking distance? Much appreciated, The parking is across and to the right of the terminal. It is definitely within walking distance (no worse than mall parking a bit away from the entrance), but if you don't want to walk it they offer a shuttle bus. I took the bus one way just to see what it was like and it was empty. On the way back I just walked with my luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickdon19 Posted July 7, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thank you! Big help. Is this road very crowded? Should I get there early just to park? Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicKen Posted July 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Although we haven't had the opportunity to cruise from the new terminal, we have parked at the port on all of our cruises from Cape Liberty. As for traffic, the line may get a bit long early in the process for boarding and parking, BUT it moves with military precision and will get you to the ship in a timely manner. The port staff has a lot of experience moving vehicles and folks efficiently to their vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted July 7, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 7, 2015 When I had my flat tire, I had a front row seat to observe the inbound road for 3+ hours. It never backed up to the south side of the parking lot, which it frequently did before. A major reason for this is that folks who just want to park and roll their luggage to the terminal can bypass the chaos of in front of the terminal and go directly to the parking. There is also a shuttle bus from the parking area, which can reduce the number of cars stopping at the terminal. There are now drop off bays for the cruise buses, so they are no longer in the way. It's still a crazy place, but it seems to move much better than it did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix1949 Posted July 21, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Progress as of 7/19. Probably be complete in eight to ten weeks. Doesn't look nearly big enough. Edited July 21, 2015 by Phoenix1949 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred30 Posted July 24, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Great Photo's! Thanks for sharing. The garage is coming along. Looks like they are planing elevators in the front corner. Hopefully it will be setup to go straight to the garage instead of needing to drop luggage off at the terminal first. Maybe it will have its own luggage drop. Any bets on how much the price will go up. New York is now at $40.00 Edited July 24, 2015 by fred30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLP1 Posted July 26, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted July 26, 2015 For us who live in the New York area there is a price point at which it will pay to take a car service rather then pay some outrageous daily parking rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also betting I'll be posting te public transit directions a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred30 Posted July 27, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2015 When they first announced they were building a garage the amount of spaces seemed low to me but a significant price increase may greatly reduce the amount of cars parking at the pier. This will also make the off-site parking lots look much better. I'm within a 2 hour drive with no other reasonable transportation options. I'm actually looking forward to the garage. Then I won't need to pack the snow shovels and gear in the car on our winter cruises as long as I get there early enough to get a spot on a covered level.
