Parking question

[tarajean1962]

Hi!

 

So we will be driving to Bayonne and our arrival time scheduled for the ship is 10:45. We have never done this before and from reading some of your posts, I can see that parking can be congested. I was wondering what a good arrival time at the parking facility would be.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Tara:D

 

P.S. We leave on Sunday and I can't wait!!!!

It always seems to be a crap shoot. I'd arrive a little earlier and bring something to do in case you have to wait. I always feel better waiting a bit to board than sitting in a line of traffic.

Thanks! It's about a two hour drive for us in good traffic. I a a freak about getting there on time and we usually cruise out of a port where we go a day ahead of time.

 

I have nightmares about missing a cruise.:eek:

We arrived at about 10 for our 11/23 cruise. Yes we had to wait to board...even longer since it took longer to clear the previous cruise. It is a sigh of relief when you arrive at the port and know that you got there in plenty of time. By the time we unloaded our luggage and parked, it was 10:15 going into the terminal. Perhaps we were lucky, the traffic at the port was no worse that it was with the old terminal.

Wow, thanks you guys! I guess 10:00 sounds like a good time, :cool:

I don't mind if we have to wait a bit to board :D

we pulled in at 1230 and waited about 15 minutes before we could get to the parking turn off, but the lot itself was still fairly empty.

I have another question about parking. I know that the parking lot is open early to let the cars out for people getting off the ship, what I want to know is what time do they let cars into the lot for people getting on the ship? This has nothing to do with what time my setsail paperwork has as my boarding time. I ask because I am driving from Virginia, and I will be arriving at the pier around 7am. This is why I am asking what time they let cars into the lot. Thanks in advance.

How much does the parking cost?

Wow, I see they knocked down the old warehouse. What a difference. Or is that a new building?

Parking in December was $19 per day...

We live 30 mins from Bayonne and usually take a car service..... it's probably cheaper to just park there. Is it convenient? Were you happy with it?

Scarlet - I'm on the same cruise and also 30 minutes from port. We always park there - it is very convenient. You can walk from the parking to the port building. We have also taken our luggage without assistance to our car after the cruise (its that close). Parking is $19/day (so for the 8 days will be around $160).
