Hi, Need some info. Five of us, adults and one child will need transportation from NEwark airport to the Port in NY for cruise ship Carnival. 1. Is there someplace we can put our luggage til 5 pm when we board the ship? 2. What are the options and apx. prices to get there from Airport? metro, or bus?
