Ed - We have sailed out of Bayonne several times over the last few years.   When we lived on Staten Island we had a 9 minute drive from our front door to the port - can&#39;t beat that.   <br /><br />RC has big plans for Cape Liberty but when they will begin working on them is anyone&#39;s guess.  Right now they are using an old warehouse as their terminal although they have it fixed up nicely.   The problem is that from the highway to the terminal is about 2 miles out on the peninsula and it is a one lane road going in and one going out so you can get very tied up there.  Once you pass the terminal drop off your luggage you park your car. you can easily walk back to the terminal or they have a shuttle bus.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the ships dock some distance from the terminal and once they start boarding you MUST take a bus to the ship.  The trip only takes a minute or two but you are not allowed to walk it.   Same thing happens on your return.  <br /><br />I know it sounds awful but it still beats going into Mid-town Manhattan and we haven&#39;t sailed from NYC since they opened Bayonne.   <br /><br />You will not pass the Statue of Liberty as you sail out and under the Verrazanno Bridge but the NY skyline and the Statue of Liberty can be easily seen from the port side of the ship.   Going under the bridge is a thrill and we never get tired of it.   The ship clears the bridge by less than 10 feet.   <br /><br />It would be a real easy drive from Ft. Lee - straight down the turnpike  to 14A and then a 5 minute drive to the turn off for the port.
