eddiesgal Posted Saturday at 10:48 AM #1 Share Posted Saturday at 10:48 AM Good morning. I have friends that are going on a cruise from Cape liberty that live in Allentown. What would be their least expensive option other than driving to get to the port? Thank you in advance for all of your kind answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiesgal Posted Saturday at 11:24 AM Author #3 Share Posted Saturday at 11:24 AM I’m not even certain where Trenton is. I was just asking for some friends to help them figure out the logistics of everything. I know nothing about Allentown. I live in Pittsburgh so Allentown is like another planet to me… Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggal Posted Saturday at 01:07 PM #5 Share Posted Saturday at 01:07 PM Its about a 1.5 - 2 hour drive from Allentown, PA to Bayonne (Cape Liberty). Its a very straight ride on Rt. 78. Parking is $25/day. I can't imagine a less expensive alternative. For example, we live about 25 - 30 minutes away from Bayonne, depending on traffic. For our upcoming cruise, we've already investigated car services and potential Uber prices. They range from $60 (Uber depending on surge pricing) and a local car service at $140 one way! We'll be driving our own car, pay for the parking and be on our own schedule. As an aside, it always amuses me that people pay up to thousands of dollars for their cruise, but then want to find the cheapest, if not totally free way to to get to the port. You need to build those costs into the total price of your vacation. There are no free rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need to take a taxi from EWR to Cape Liberty. So, about $150 for two people (one way). One-way car rental is about the same but an additional $250 in gas!

mjkacmom Posted Sunday at 02:08 PM #7 Share Posted Sunday at 02:08 PM If they have a car it’s a 1 1/2 drive from Allentown PA and 1 hour from Allentown NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
