A few things to keep in mind.
- Start from your cruise line's boarding window, not the sailing time.
- Cape Liberty is about 18 miles from Carlstadt, commonly 30 to 55 minutes.
- Count the bags as carefully as the passengers.
- Book the return transfer for disembarkation day at the same time.
Work back from the boarding window.
Cruise lines give passengers a boarding time well before the ship sails. Plan the pickup so you arrive within that window, with extra time for traffic on the approach to Bayonne on a busy sailing day.
Typical drive times to Bayonne.
Cape Liberty is on the Bayonne peninsula in Hudson County. From Bergen County the route stays in New Jersey.
| From | Approximate distance | Commonly |
|---|---|---|
| Carlstadt, NJ | 18 miles | 30 to 55 minutes |
| Newark Airport (EWR) | 10 miles | 20 to 40 minutes |
Luggage decides the vehicle.
Cruise luggage takes more space than an airport carry-on trip. Share the number of large cases so the right vehicle is chosen: a sedan for a couple, a Sprinter for a family or group.
