Sailing from Cape Liberty Cruise Port
Cape Liberty in Bayonne is the drive-to alternative to Manhattan: same Bermuda and Caribbean routes, none of the Midtown traffic. Royal Caribbean bases one of its Quantum class ships here, which means indoor skydiving, bumper cars and the North Star observation pod sailing straight out of New Jersey.
Sailaway is a highlight in itself. Ships pass the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan within the first 30 minutes, so book a starboard balcony for the postcard view without paying Manhattan port fees.
Season: Year round with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity typically April through November.

Parking at the port
On-site parking at Cape Liberty runs about $30 per day and can be pre-booked through the port. Off-site park and cruise lots along Route 440 come in closer to $15 per day with a free shuttle, which saves over $100 on a 7 night sailing.
Where to stay the night before
The Hyatt Regency Jersey City and the hotels around Newark Liberty airport both offer park, stay and cruise packages that bundle a pre-cruise night with parking for the length of the sailing. Booking one usually beats paying for terminal parking alone if you are driving more than three hours.
