A friend of mine was in NYC for the Fantasy christening and offered this option for parking - -
I have not experienced this myself, but trust this person totally!
I am so glad someone posted this. Last month, DH, myself and our two sons went to NYC for a day trip. It was suggested, by people on the DIS, to take the ferry from Weehawken over to the City. We loved it! Finding the terminal and parking were a breeze (and cheap too). Anyway, while in the terminal in NJ, I got talking to a guy who (along with his wife) were on their way over to NYC to board the Norwegian Jewel. That got me thinking about doing the same for our upcoming DCL cruise out of NYC. It will only be DH and myself and we're only doing the 2-night cruise so we won't have much luggage at all. I think we'll be able to pack everything into DH's rolling duffle bag. I just have a few questions though:
1. Can we walk from the terminal in NYC to the pier? How bad would it be to walk four blocks in the August heat pulling a rolling duffle bag? If we take a cab, how much would that cost the two of us?
2. Is parking $10/day at Weehawken/Port Imperial? Or is it $10 for the length-of-stay?
3. If we decide to drive into the City to park how much would we pay to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel? Is it easy to find the pier once inside the City?
Thanks for any and all help. DH and I have never cruised so we have no idea what to expect when we arrive at the terminal. Our goal is to pay as little as possible to park/get into the City so I am trying to explore all options.
TIA!
