Hotel near Bayonne - Port Liberty Cruise Port

[Diva Onboard]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good hotel somewhere near the Newark airport or the cruise port? I've searched some sites but it appears the choices are few and far between.

We've stayed at the Residence Inn in Elizabeth a couple of times, very nice. Free airport shuttle.

 

Also check the East Coast Departures forum here:

Thanks Clarea - I'll check these out.

We have also stayed at the residence inn in Elizabeth. There are several hotels there, a mall and a few restaurants within walking distance.

 

We used the airport shuttle and took an uber to the port.

I believe the other hotels in that complex are Courtyard and Country Inn & Suites. If I recall correctly, the Country Inn has a cruise shuttle package.

We are staying at the Embassy Suites in Elizabeth which is right near the Country Inn and Suites and the Residence Inn.

What's your exact date? How much are you willing to spend?

 

You can stay at the Airport or if you're willing to spend an extra taxi fare, you can stay in the Newport area of Jersey City on the Hudson River.

We've used the Embassy Suites and had a great stay with hot fresh made breakfast in the morning. It was only built about 2 1/2 yrs ago.

I like using Embassy Suites prior to my RC sailings. Are there any restaurants/stores near the hotel?

Yes....there is a Ruby Tuesday and Ihop in front of the hotel....and a gigantic mall is across the street.

 

Google the Mills at Jersey Gardens....place is huge!

Check the hotels in Elizabeth NJ there are a lots of them. That is the nearest hotel to airport and the cruise port.

They are in a great little cluster all across from the Mills....Country Inn, Residence Inn, Courtyard, and Embassy Suites.

Try trinityreservations.com. They specialize in stay-park-cruise specials and the prices are very reasonable. We are booked in the Ramada in Newark (near airport) before our Anthem trip. Paying $202 for the room, but it includes transport to and from terminal and parking for up to 21 days. Since it's a 12 night cruise and parking is around $20 per day...we're coming out ahead of the deal;).

 

I also use this site when we are flying to someplace as well. Only thing to know is you will have to pay the reservation in full on booking BUT you can cancel up to day before with no penalty. And their customer service is top notch:D

We booked the Ramada Plaza Liberty Airport Stay, Park and Cruise Package through trinityreservations.com prior to both of our 12 night Anthem cruises last winter and were very pleased with the hotel and the service provided by them and Trinity Reservations. We highly recommend both Trinity Reservations and The Ramada Plaza in regards to where to stay prior to your cruise. Also the Ramada is only 8 miles from Cape Liberty or half the distance away than are the Elizabeth, NJ hotels being mentioned. We previously stayed and parked our car at the Country Inn in Elizabeth for our X Silhouette cruise out of Cape Liberty but now prefer the above.

FYI, the Trinity Reservation package rate is good for up to four persons in a room at no extra cost including shuttle between the hotel and the port and EWR airport if needed.

I agree...we have used this several times and have been pleased with our choice.

if you're willing to spend an extra taxi fare, you can stay in the Newport area of Jersey City on the Hudson River.

 

We were just in that area last week, it is very lovely, several hotels, lots of restaurants & shopping, train into the city is right there ... and beautiful views of NYC, especially at sunset.

 

If we ever decided to cruise out of Port Liberty, that's where we would stay.

Currently sailing on Anthem of the Seas. Stayed at Country Inn and Suites. It is across the street from Residence Inn and $75 less. They have a free shuttle from Newark Airport. At the front desk I purchased a round trip transfer from the hotel to the ship returning from the ship to the airport. Cost $35 per person round trip. You will be happy!! Have a fun cruise!!😎

I actually work at the Marriott at Newark Airport. We have park and cruise rates as well as hotel car service that will take you to and from the port! I love the weekend mornings with everyone coming and going from cruises. Let me know if you have any questions

Victoriacoe, does your hotel have transportation for disabled guests? You may email me at kacruiser@sbcglobal.net.

We also used Trinity Reservations for our stay at the Ramada Inn when sailing out of Bayonne. The hotel was clean and staff were very helpful. You get free shuttle to the port and free parking for up to 21 days. The hotel has a shuttle that will take you to NYC for the day and the cost was $25.00 per person the last time we did that.

Try Jersey City, which is only a 10 minute easy cab ride away from the Bayonne cruise terminal, plus has easy access to New York City if you arrive a day or so early. There is a Westin, a Courtyard by Marriott, a Hyatt Regiency, and a Doubletree ... there are great restaurants here too (Komegashi Too has TERRIFIC sushi and Japanese, and Confucious has some of the best Chinese we've ever had).

Next time I cruise on the Anthem, I'm parking in Mike's driveway and he's going to drive me to the ship. ;) :D

Excellent price for the transfers. I assume it was a shared shuttle. How does it work on the way back to the airport, are there several shuttles leaving at different times?

Would be a pleasure, Merion Mom ... though in the spirit of candour, I should say that my wife and I lived in Jersey City until 2008, and then moved to a small town in Monmouth County, about 45 minutes away. As fate would have it, my company recently transferred me to our Jersey City office, and my building is less than one block away from the apartment we used to live in.

 

My wife has said, "If only we knew then what we know now, we never would have given up the apartment". This little area of Jersey City is absolutely terrific.
