Seventh, level on 39 with the Hampton Inn Newark Airport and ahead because it prints a distance. Marriott puts Cape Liberty Cruise Port 3.0 miles from the hotel, the shortest figure any New Jersey hotel on our list states, and breakfast is free.
Long-term parking and Park Here, Fly There packages are listed — without a price, and without the word cruise.
There's no ride to the ship. Cape Liberty doesn't allow arrivals on foot, per Celebrity, so those 3.0 miles are a cab or a rideshare.
