Fourth. Marriott sells a Park & Cruise Package here: stay one night, park for 8, with transportation to and from the port and a complimentary breakfast.
It's the only named park-and-cruise package with a ride that we found on a New Jersey hotel's own pages. Two gaps remain — there's no price, and the package says "the port", not Cape Liberty.
The hotel's local page does name Cape Liberty, "just a short taxi ride away". We only count a ride that names its terminal, so the parking scores and the ride doesn't.
Call and confirm the shuttle goes to Bayonne before you book the package.
Book it if
- Drivers sailing from Cape Liberty on a cruise of up to a week
- Families who want a kitchen and a free breakfast
- Pet owners
Look elsewhere if
- You want the price before you call.
- You want a restaurant or a pool on site.
