Directs to Cape Liberty from CountryInn

[ridgecrest]

Hello,

 

We will be staying at the Country Inn NJ on June 18 and plan to drive to and park at the port. Can someone help me with the following questions as this is our first time sailing from here?

 

1)What is the address that I would enter into the GPS for the port or if the directions are simple, can you tell me how to get there?

 

2) How far is the hotel from the port?

 

3) I read on one of the threads that the parking was $19/day. Is that still the case?

 

Thanks,

Reid

Try Port Terminal, Blvd, Bayonne, NJ. Country Inns is at exit 13A of the NJ Turnpike. Take the turnpike north to exit 14-14A-14B-14C and follow the signs to exit 14A and get off there. It's about 11-12 miles to the port. Parking is still $19/day.

 

GPS will get you to exit 14A but may be unreliable to get you into the port. Please print out my directions. Others have followed them successfully. The signage is poor. There are lots of choices and you have to make a quick decision as to where you are going. For a first timer there's not time to stop and try to spot the correct little sign and I'm not sure the names of all the streets are clearly marked. After you pay your toll you go straight across the toll plaza and get on a 2 lane ramp that goes up and curves left. This is hard to miss. On the ramp you stay on the right and make the first right, stay to the right and make another right. You will come to the light at route 440 where you will make a left, stay left, and make a left at the first light onto Goldsborough Drive. Route 440 is a four lane divided highway. You can only turn left at a traffic light - going south the first light is now at Goldsborough Drive. The left turn into the port used to be at Port Terminal Blvd (and it still is coming the other way), but they shut down that turn fairly recently and made Goldsborough Drive the main port access road coming from the north. Goldsborough Drive will merge with Port Terminal Blvd. You will be able to see the ship and you just follow the crowd about 2 miles out to the ship.

Thanks so much Carol. I really appreciate the information and the time that you take helping folks on this board. Your directions will reduce my stress level 100%. Have a great day.
