Here's a site to figure it out. Put in your starting exit number and your ending exit number. Then select Cash or E-Z Peak or EZ off peak to get the various rates.

Guess dial 7 rip people off on the toll . Will never use them again . Shows 1.65 cash or 135 for ezpass they charged us 15.00.

Can you tell me what the toll is for the nj turnpike?

Thanks, we will be getting two rooms, hopefully free Marriotts as I have two free ones.

There is a Marriott right at the airport

Is the Hilton at the airport?

There one near there and then there's one near Newark penn station

What's the best way to get from the Newark Hilton to the World Trade Center ??

Hello , just wondering if a flight out of Newark @1057 am is cutting it close with coming in Cape Liberty @7am?

I have an 11 am flight home from hobby and wondering if I do self assist is it doable in August ?

Hi folks just wondering if we do self assist off the ship can we make an 11am flight out of hobby ? We booked 2 super shuttles for our party of 14

Maybe at Hobby. Some people are off the ship by 8 a.m. and others much later. If you are off at 8 a.m. you could even conceivably make a flight at Bush Airport.

Yes it's out of Hobby and have super shuttle set up for 825 am .

just wondering if its possible to catch an 11 am flight out of Houston if we do self disembark in August ?

Can anyone tell me if an 11 am flight out of hobby is cutting it close when return from Galveston

Not sure what discount AAA is but if you use code 424kt it's a 5% discount .

Extremely frustrating... Leaving on the Navigator of the Seas on Aug. 16... Trying to find a hotel for one night seems to be a quest for the holy grail.

 

 

 

All the decent hotels don't have rooms available... or a two night stay is required.

I noticed that harbor house opened up for that date but it's 287+ tax on hotels.com

We recently stayed at the Hilton Galveston Island resort and used their free cruise parking/shuttle service. It worked out very well. If you choose this hotel, book a tower ocean view. Those rooms are updated and have beautiful views. Get on the Cruise shuttle list early. We were on the 10 a.m. shuttle and onboard by 11:00.

There hotel is it a one night or two night stay? And how far out do you need to book ?

We will be on the Jewel for the 1-10-15 sailing from Bayport. At the moment, we are booked into the Drury Inn and Suites Houston Hobby Airport. They do free shuttles to/from the airport and offer some amenities like free light dinner, free pop and popcorn and free breakfast. I haven't made up my mind on how to get to the ship yet, but figured I could do the ship transfers or on my own if a better deal comes along.

 

I am somewhat concerned about all the fog talk on the boards. Never left from this area before and so wasn't aware of the possibility. Right now we have departure times at 1:25 and 2:00, is that safe? Any input appreciated.

Have you ever stayed at this hotel before ? We have a party of 9 and trying to suit everyone and budgets .

I'm trying to figure out the same for our group of 9. Either Marriott or another close by Hobby.

I'm surprised that you did not point out that Port Canaveral is also on an island and that there are car rental companies on that island. The lots are compact, but they do a brisk business. One way rentals come to the island with new cruises and one way rentals leave with disembarking passengers. Reservation systems cause are designed to balance the ins and out. the location of the renta

 

Lot is not too important. If they provided a shuttle (even for a fee), the car rental could be located off the island.

 

 

 

Often cheaper than paying for parking, sometimes I rent cars in my town and drop them at O'Hare (60 miles). sometimes shuttles work, other times a car rental is more suitable. I'd think locals there might also find one way rental nice once in a while.

 

 

 

The points everybody has made are certainly valid. I think the cruise business is bigger and better established in FL than in TX. As the cruise business in TX grows and matures (as cruise lovers from TX and beyond likely desire), associated business are apt to also arise, grow, thrive. As those supporting businesses grow, the appeal to far flung cruisers grow, hopefully creating a virtuous circle as they attract more cruisers.

 

 

 

I believe this is underway. several years ago, I saw a nice price on a Glaveston cruise. flights were easy to find, and I was psyched to get back to visit TX. Then I went to cruise critic and google to look for ground transit, and I found few options. back then, people said the best option was to stay overnight near the airport, return to the airport on the day of the cruise and take cruise transport bus to port. I wanted to stay in Galveston per-cruise. Or Houston or an interesting burn nearby...not the airport. I found a different cruise then. My desire to visit Tx and also enjoy a cruise persists, so I am planning again. this time I am finding more transit options then before. not as many as FL and not as cheap, but more than years ago... progress:). I look forward to more of the same over the years.

Oh we are still doing our cruise out of Texas for our friends 50 th bday . And Want to stay in Galveston .

But looking at prices of hotel and transportation for 9 is a bit pricey for Galveston . So still deciding where to stay .

Many of the hotels will allow you to park for free and have free shuttle both ways. I know the Hilton and others will do that

Does the Hilton require a 2 night stay pre cruise in August ?

Heck Orlando ,FL to Port Canaveral is further than hobby to Galveston and it's still cheaper in Florida .

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

I don't find it expensive at all . There are 9 of us and we are using super shuttle . Final cost with tip is 37.00 pp round trip . Not bad if you ask me
