canada_cruiser Posted February 11, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi thanks to both of you for offering help! I have a question for you. I will be flying in to Newark on Porter on a Friday around noon. I hear there is a bus that takes you right in to NY that you can get from the airport. Could either of you tell me where in the airport I can find the bus, what the bus is called and where I should get off (I am staying at the Marriott Time Square 114 West 40th St.). Thanks!

ABay22000 Posted February 12, 2009 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We just booked EOS 03/19/2010 and will be coming by Amtrak train to NJ. We plan on coming the day before and looking for a hotel near Penn Station NJ. Any suggestions? Also should we take a cab or a car service to the pier? Thanks for your help.

Happy sailing! 1)Many years ago when I lived in Jersey City,it was necessary to have a special passport to get into Bayonne. Is that still the case? 2)Does Bayonne still have more bars per square mile than a cruise ship? 3) Is Judike's Bakery still open? Is it still as good? I loved the Half Moon cake,all the doughnuts,and the onion filled rolls. What memories I have of Venice Pizzaria,and Uncle Miltie's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted February 14, 2009 #21 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Debbie, Do you have any experience with the Hudson Plaza Motel? The few reviews I am seeing are not positive and my impression is that this a motel that might not suit folks about to depart on a cruise. Most of the folks seeking a motel room for the night before the cruise are from abroad or live more than 4 hours away. They are unfamiliar with the Newark/Bayonne/Jersey City area and are overwhelmed by the many choices. Typically a brand name hotel (3* or more) at Newark Airport will be satisfactory and there are often excellent deals. I have seen the Holiday Inn offered at $56 in the last few weeks. It becomes more complicated if they want easy access to NYC or a place to leave their car while cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
