It is an outside parking lot.

At least one of the hotels in nearby Elizabeth, NJ offers a package
including free parking during the time of the cruise. It may or may
not offer inside parking.

Anyone staying in a Newark pre-cruise hotel better be prepared to pay
that $40.cab fare to Cape Liberty...we've done it twice!

At least for Annie who asked about the parking, it would be silly to
stay in a hotel pre-cruise. She lives just about 1 1/2 hours from the
pier, an easy drive.

It really depends on what the hotel would charge for the overnight stay
and parking, wouldn't it? The pier is $20 a night, I think (maybe more
at this point). Especially if the hotel has an indoor garage, or will
shovel you out if it snows, it could be a better deal than paying to pay
at the pier.

My wife was asking me the other day if they had ever built a garage at
the port. Obviously the answer is no. She thought she had heard that
they were supposed to when we sailed out of there a while ago.

BTW I do assume they've solved the problem of the paint dots that people
were finding on their cars after returning from their cruise? That was a
few years ago.
