Thanks everyone for the information sent to me. Annie, if you could find a hotel near Newark Airport that allowed you to park there for free during your cruise, you might actually find it cheaper to get a hotel for one night. That way you could save on the parking all during the cruise. We avoid the parking fee and also the problem of having the car covered with snow and/or refusing to start because of cold and the problem of vandalism or paint spots by renting a car and turning it in at the airport and then getting a cab or shuttle to the terminal. This is cheaper for us than $15/day parking in Baltimore if the cruise is more than a week. The only cruise we would take for a week out of that terminal would be to Bermuda. When we flew to St Thomas we stayed at a hotel near Newark airport because we had an early flight. We left our car at the hotel while we were gone and in good weather it was no problem. Some hotels have fly/cruise/park packages, but the parking is not free and it looks like parking at the pier is much cheaper. Here is a great website, we used it to book our fly/park hotel for St. Thomas: http://www.parksleepfly.com/index.ph...20515&trackID= Taking a quick look, parking at the pier is cheaper. sue |

One near JFK that the night's stay and parking was 1/2 the airport parking (even got a free cocktail coupon) ... and one near Philly that was also similarly priced as compared to airport parking ... In the Newark area for some reason the deals were nowhere near as good ... |
