What time should I get to Cape Liberty Cruise Port?
Use the check-in time in your cruise line's travel documents, since Cape Liberty boarding times vary by ship. Royal Caribbean warns that security and immigration procedures can cause delays at the pier. Work back from your check-in time with the drive estimate below, and add a buffer for Turnpike traffic.
| Timing factor | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Your check-in time | Set by your cruise line; see your travel documents | Your cruise line |
| Security at the pier | Expect delays for security and immigration | Royal Caribbean |
| From Newark Airport | about 18 min without traffic (estimate) | Routing estimate |
| From Midtown | about 29 min without traffic (estimate) | Routing estimate |
How long is the drive from Newark, JFK, LaGuardia and Manhattan?
Newark is the closest airport to Cape Liberty, and JFK is the farthest. These routing estimates assume no traffic, so they are the shortest case. The tunnels, the NJ Turnpike and the Belt Parkway often add time, so a JFK or LaGuardia arrival on sailing day needs a generous buffer before check-in.
| Trip | Distance | Drive time without traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Newark Airport to the port | 9.0 mi | about 18 min (estimate) |
| Times Square to the port | 12.7 mi | about 29 min (estimate) |
| JFK to the port | 28.2 mi | about 54 min (estimate) |
| Port to LaGuardia | 19.5 mi | about 43 min (estimate) |
Drive times are estimates (OSRM free-flow routing with no traffic, checked Oct 29, 2026). Traffic varies, and rush hour, weather and airport construction add time.
Before you book the trip
Before you book the trip, gather the details that set the vehicle and pickup time. The chauffeur needs the ship and the sailing date, your check-in time, the passenger and suitcase count, any flight number and child seats. With those, you choose the right car for Bayonne and see the all-in price first.
- Ship name and sailing date, or the disembarkation date
- Your cruise line's check-in time from your travel documents
- Passenger count and the number of suitcases
- Flight number for any airport pickup before the cruise
- Child seats needed, in an SUV or Sprinter
Match the vehicle to passengers and luggage.
Match the vehicle to passengers and cruise luggage. An Executive Sedan seats 2 and a Luxury Sedan seats 3, fine for a couple. Most cruise families choose an Executive SUV or Luxury SUV, which seat 6 and hold large suitcases. For a group sailing from Bayonne together, the Jet Sprinter seats 10 and the Executive Sprinter 13, quoted on request.
| Vehicle class | Passengers | Child seats ($25 each) | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|

Are child seats available?
Yes. Child seats are $25 each and go in SUVs and Sprinters only, not sedans. Cruise families usually choose an Executive SUV or Luxury SUV, which seat 6 and hold the suitcases a week at sea needs. Add the number of seats when you book so the car arrives with them fitted.
| Add-on | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Child seat | $25 each | SUVs and Sprinters only, not sedans |
| Meet and greet | $25 | Added to an airport arrival |
| Dedicated greeter | $150 | Added to an airport arrival |

How does waiting time work?

Airport arrivals before a sailing have a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing, with flight tracking. After a cruise, choose a pickup time that allows for customs and bags, and call us when you are off the ship.
