Re: Car barge
kmom, never used cc for fare nor seen anyone use on any of 4 barges we've used through the years but that doesn't mean they don't accept cc. you have a good arrival time and plenty of barges to get you to stj after you arrive. we normally go straight to redhook but stopped twice at costuless but won...
