That will allow you to calculate for yourself

Terry, did you figure it out?? How do you find out the exit numbers if they don't give you a reference?

[dolfinmusic]

Thanks Joe for the website - I will have to try and figure it out.

Renee - I guess I will have to look on Mapquest and get the directions - that should give me the #'s for the entrance and the exit but I don't know if that will give us the rest of the tolls. Did you talk to your b/f about driving us? A person that we cruised with last October thinks that it was almost $20 for the tolls one way. I just want to know in advance so I know how much money to keep aside for tolls!!!

[Joe_Antonelli]

That's why I invested in EZpass a while ago! :D

That one gives you the exits.

Well, according to that site to get from exit 7A to exit 16E costs $3.75. Does anyone know how much it is to go through the Lincoln Tunnel?

$6 for bridge or tunnels

[dolfinmusic]

Thanks again Joe!

So that is a total of $9.75 one way then??

[Mysteryreader]

Bridge/tunnel tolls between NJ and NY are only *into* NY. No toll coming back. Your $3.75 sounds a bit low to me. (We drive up to NY and CT from exit 6 north frequently.) You might want to look carefully at your route. You can get onto the NJ Tnpk from the Phila area from exit 2 up to exit 6. The difference is more than $1 in tolls.

Hey Renee - isn't your bday on Saturday? Are you off the rest of the week or couldn't wait for the roses either??? I think I might be pushing you overboard on the CTN - your making me sick!!!!! LOL!!

Not sure about Carnival, but Celebrity Zenith added a bus trip onto our cruise and charged about $69 per person roundtrip. It took us from Baltimore Travel Plaza to the pier up in NYC. No tolls, no hassles, no traffic to worry about. We watched movies on the bus too. Check into Carnival and see if they offer this option. IF not, see if there are any bus companies that do the same thing. All people on our bus were on our cruise. Well worth it.

I remember parking my car at some place..(sunpark I think) and there were buses departing for the piers at New York. Maybe this is something you want to look into.

me-- I am taking amtrak.

[dolfinmusic]

Are you still coming up from Washington Cheryl?

[serene56]

Dunno that yet- cant seem to find a decent hotel. not even priceline can help me. Motel 8 are selling for 250 for that week. thats per night.
If I dont find something soon I will cancel the washington part.

[dolfinmusic]

So Cheryl - how much is it to take Amtrak?

[Bunkie103]

Hey guys I paid $44 one way on Amtrak from 30th Street Station using my AAA discount three weeks ago for my CTN. It was nice to sit back and relax, then a cab to the pier was $7.50 plus tax. Just FYI.

[serene56]

Yep, its about 80 bucks round trip from Philly. Beats parking and fighting the masses that SUnday Morning. I wanna be one of the last off- since I got reserved seating on amtrak I can go at any time, They seem to run every hour too
