Cape Liberty cruise parking: every option and what it costs
The port's garage next to the terminal costs $35 a day, taxes included: $245 for a 7-night cruise. No reservation is needed, and Royal Caribbean says parking is guaranteed. RVs and oversized vehicles use the open overflow lots for $70 a day.
Two private lots in Bayonne run shuttles to the terminal for less: Park & Sail NJ was $141 for a November week and Cruise Parking Bayonne $197. Hotels near Newark airport sell cruise parking from $55 a week, but you'll need a rideshare to the port.
