We are booked on a cruise that leaves from Cape Liberty, NJ. We would like to take the train from Maine and overnight before we depart for our sailing (which gives us a buffer, should we encounter issues/delays).
My problem is that I can't figure out where to take Amtrak to. Newark Airport, and stay at a hotel there? Or perhaps Newark Penn Station?
Cape Liberty is difficult to navigate to and figuring in the cost of transfers from the hotel to the port is an issue.
Also, when we return from the cruise, we'd like to get back to Maine in the same day if possible-although we realize we may need to overnight in Boston. Regardless, which Amtrak station is closest or easiest to get to via taxi, from the port? It's possible that going into Newark is best because of the variety of hotels offered, but maybe Newark is closer to the port for the return?!??
Any help is appreciated! I'm getting confused as I read about PATH, New Jersey transit, etc etc.
