We're sailing next summer on Celebrity's Zenith out of NYC to Bermuda. Six years ago we sailed to Bermuda on the then Dreamward. We parked right on top of the pier right next to the ship. Easy to get to, very safe, somewhat reasonable. We live in upstate NY and to take the bus to the pier would be about $70 per person and with 8 of us going that would be pretty expensive! Has anyone driven lately to a ship in NYC? Can you give me an idea of how much it cost? Where the parking is? Parking 2 cars in NYC has got to be cheaper than $560!

Hi,

Parking at the cruise terminal is about $18-$25 per day. I usually mass transit it from Phila.

Get there early in the morning, even if you ahve to leave your house at 4am

From upstate NY, take the Taconic State Parkway, to the Sprain Brook, to the Saw Mill River Parkway and not have truck traffic and scenic views. The Saw Mill takes you right into the Henry Hudson Parkway [great views] which ends at 55 street where the cruise termianl is.

---Be sure to leave no valuables in car, and leave nothing visible that is a temptation for thieves---

We did this in September this year, travelling from Burlington. It was so easy that we wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Thanks to advice from cruisetalkers.

After passing Binghampton we took Rte.81 to Scranton,Pa, then Rtes. 380 & 80 to the George Washington Bridge. Across the bridge we took Rte.9a South, which became Henry Hudson Parkway.
The road ended at the pier so we had no city driving.
Parking at the pier was $18 day, tax included.
Traveler's cheques or cash only - no credit cards. Parking area was well signposted.
