- Local food: Battello (waterfront dining in JC), Antique Bar and Bakeshop in Hoboken, or head into Manhattan for the evening
- Night before: The Jersey City and Hoboken waterfront gives you Manhattan's skyline lit up at night — one of the best views in the NYC metro area
- Getting around: PATH train from Manhattan to Jersey City; rideshare to Cape Liberty terminal runs ~$20–$30 from the JC waterfront
Hotels in Bayonne itself are limited, so most cruisers stay either in Jersey City for a shorter rideshare to the terminal, or in Manhattan for more to do the night before at the cost of a longer trip to Cape Liberty.
Residence Inn in Bayonne, about 15 minutes from the port, is a solid choice close to Cape Liberty itself. If you'd rather stay in Manhattan the night before, a Weehawken ferry crossing plus a short shuttle up 12th Avenue is a popular way to avoid driving straight into the city.
