Thread: pre cruise hotel

we have a cruise booked on explorer of the seas next march,sailing from cape liberty can anyone recomend a hotel close to the port for our pre cruise stay

Hi chrisjan

What port?

Chrisjan, I responded on another post but here it is again.

Not much of anything in Bayonne.
There are lots of hotels near the Newark Airport and it is only 20 minutes away. There are a couple in Jersey City- also about 15 minutes away.

Lots of options in Manhattan which is not terribly far and you have the benefit of enjoying the city before your cruise.

I heard there are plans for a hotel right at the cruise port in Bayonne but, unfortunately, right now, there is nothing I would recommend.

I'm from NJ so if you want to ask me about some hotels that you are considering, feel free to email me at mindy@myvacationlady.com and I'll do my best to give you some feedback.

We stayed at the Sheraton at the airport (before a very early flight) and the beds were wonderful.
