Yes, I took one on Royal Caribbean 2 or 3 years back but it was only a 5 day cruise to Bermuda and back.  For RC, they have a parking deck right next to the terminal. 

Only thing I remember about parking was that when leaving, there was a long line at the elevators inside the parking deck.  Fortunately I didn't park that high up and didn't have any issue hoofing up 3 flights of stairs with my bags. 

Cost was a bit high but I don't know that there is any other option.  There used to be a 3rd party parking lot over there but not sure if it's open any more.

Better off going out of Florida. Leaving from Bayonne is a rough ride down the coast.

Why go out of Bayonne or Baltimore? Where do those cruises go, anyway? Can they even make it to the Bahamas in less than 3 days? Makes no sense to me unless you just want to go out on a boat ride and get shitfaced and gorge yourself

I agree with the above, unless you're just going to sit on the ship and get sh*t faced drunk every day and don't want to see any islands or other sights, spend a few extra dollars and go out of Florida. You'll go to more islands and won't spend days "cruising at sea".

GF and I took a cruise out of Bayonne in Feb.

Our last two vacations we had lost 1-2 days sitting in airports due to flight problems.  We wanted an absolutely zero stress vacation this time, so we took RCL out of Bayonne, and she got to reconnect with a friend she hand’t seen in a while  who coincidentally was on the same cruise.

I can’t offer any guidance on the parking - we took an Uber to the ship and a friend picked us up on the way back.

Trip down the coast was not rough.  It was perfect for what we wanted, a low travel-stress vacation.

I have done it many times, cruise out of bayonne, never used long term party, always had someone drop me off and pick me up. Best option in my view.
