  1. Hi, It's a 15 min taxi ride from the port :https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Palma-Port/Illetes. and yes the beach bar will call you a taxi back to the port. any problems call an Uber. https://www.uber.com/es/en/r/cities/taxi/palma-es-ib-es/ Roger b
  2. Hi I like your plan for your day in Palma, https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Palma/Jardins-d-Alfàbia Go on to Pt de Soller get tram back to Soller pay on tram . Have lunch there . https://www.cafesoller.com/ Is my choice good veggie options. Then get Train back to Palma . Train tickets will have to be bought in Soller. This should be no problem at 14.00. Roger b
  3. Hi Carrie, Your Canadian license is O.K,just do Valdemossa and Soller. You could Do Pt zde Andrax but would be rushed . Roger b
  4. Hi, You should not have any trouble getting a taxi from the port. It will be more difficult getting a taxi back to the Port , you can book an Uber . The beach bar can ring for a taxi, but it is a peak day and will be very crowded. Leave your self plenty of time to get back to the port, failing this the Number 4 bus stops right outside the beach. Get off at Porto Pi you can see the ship from there. Roger b
  5. Hi , Unfortunately your ship docked on the west quay. You could have been on the main terminal quay then it is a 2 min walk to the car park. Roger b
  6. Hi , Either you can get the taxi to drop at the Main cruise terminal ( see post a few back). Or it is about a 10 minute ride to the start of the Ho-Ho bus this in the Bourne which is the main street in Palma. The stop is opposite the Cathedral. https://city-sightseeing.com/en/25/palma-de-mallorca?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=city&utm_content=Plm_Mllrc_gmb&utm_campaign=QR-CS_Mllrca&utm_term=csaffiliation Roger b
  7. Hi, Unfortunately, I have no control over where your ship docks, and as seen in the post below it could be a very long walk to the bus stop where the Ho-Ho bus stops. The luck of the draw I am afraid, my advice is to get a taxi into town and board the bus there. Roger b
  8. Not a lot of difference about 60 eu Roger b
  9. Hi, It should be no problem at this time taxis pass the entrance to the beach all the time. You could also call up an Uber , also there is a bus stop right at the entrance. Number 4 bus will take you within walking distance of the cruise terminal get off at Porto Pi,or take you into the town (2 eu ) Roger b
  10. There are two terminals see below: https://yes-mallorca-property.com/blog/mallorca/palma-de-mallorca-cruise-port-guide-about-palma-de-mallorca/ Roger b
  11. Hi, I am afraid it's luck of the draw , there are car parks in all of these villages . Deia is probably the most difficult, Soller try to park on the main road and walk down into the town .Pt de Soller there is a large car park off of the 1st roundabout going into the town.Valdemossa several car parks if full carry on the main road and you can park in one the streets on the right hand side. The ship should dock at the main terminal añd the wil be in the car park opposite the entrance. Roger b
  12. Hi, I would probably go into Porto Christo , you have a choice of waterside restaurants. It is a lovely fishing village ,and is very close to the caves. Roger b
  13. Hi, Yes both in the centre of the best shopping streets . https://www.abc-mallorca.com/avenida-jaime-iii-palma/ Roger b
  14. Try the skybar wonderful views, Menu del dia 22 eu inc wine for 3 courses. https://www.hotelalmudaina.com/en/sky-area. For the best tapas. https://www.elcaminopalma.es/ Would need to book !! Roger b
  15. Hi, You can get the 1.30pm train , you should have plenty of time ,if you want to be back by 6.30pm.. A taxi will be 65/80 eu , back from Port de Soller. Roger b
  16. Hi , Yes if you decide on a beach day neither of these would be my choice . Try https://balnearioilletas.com/ No problem with protests They are on the other resorts than those near Palma . If you have not been to Palma before take a tour the most beautiful island in the Med. Roger b
  17. Put your Phone on Google maps and you will have no problems, very good wi fi nearly everywhere.
  18. Hi, Please see my post 659 about 6 back!! Roger 6
  19. O.K the car is left in the car park at the port , the key is in a locked box with a code attached to the window. Arash will tell you exactly where the car is , just confirm everything with Arash Roger b
  20. Hi A taxi would be 110 eu each way and no guarantee you would get one back,then you would have to fit in the beach which would be difficult to sort out . I have a driver that would be about 400/450 eu for 4/5 hours. You will find my reply to the reviews by reading my answer. Car hire wold be about 75/85 eu for the day including insurance. This the cheapest and best option !! Roger b
  21. No !! You can do everything on line ,it's so easy . Roger b
  22. Hi. Yes , it would be possible allow at least an hour either way for the trip . Personally I would hire a car drive to Porto Cristo which has a beach and is a lovely place to visit. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187462-i124-k13631222-Beaches_near_Caves_of_Drach-Majorca_Balearic_Islands.html Then you would not be rushed , see Arash Rent a car will meet you from the ship and return car to port when you return. The easiest and cheapest way to do it . Roger b
  23. HI I have no hesitation in recommending Arash I have known them for 20 years and have had many people thank me for recommending them. Ask for Carlos !! Just to put your mind at rest : https://www.google.co.uk/search?sca_esv=e561d0ec59a4f4d7&sxsrf=ADLYWIKfSFQT0TJ5wqv0oUkKIWIg8A-RNw:1720110672311&uds=ADvngMjcH0KdF7qGWtwTBrP0nt7dWh3pMQ8boPWDC5mbLmmB-Sya94XnqixNsTmr1wIW6c9PLwHa-mwoipIGtVBkz8Sgw1DNfRM1QogIptthu7KjGNkAwPjMRj2SQkrdh4M8Fr8EYLiV&si=ACC90nzcy7sviKw0NTZoUBUzhQehr3jouizIrVSf6avWI23m1T2gGEDDKnjOB0vRIPJAYvfuHFuvbia-4p2D8Q7b0TRv12AZ94hU5IsTm0RHKUf63jCyT5w%3D&q=Rent+A+Car+Arash+Reviews&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwilr-PM542HAxU_Q_EDHdHzCcgQ3PALegQIPRAF&biw=1280&bih=599&dpr=1.5 The journey to Valldemossa and Deia will take around 30/40 mins then on to Deia for another 20mins carry on to Port de Soller and Soller . From Soller it is about 30 mins back to Palma , do the trip in this order. TOO Cold to swim ,but lots do !! Roger b
  24. Response from Travel agent : On the invoicing that you sent the guest what cat shows up as a zero percent obstruction. As if it states GTY and not a allocated room that is why it says no obstructions. The only time we would be ablet o advise of obstructions is if there is a room number showing. GTY rooms will always show a zero obstruction until the room is allocated. Snookered !!! Roger
  25. BEWARE TO THOSE THINKING OF BOOKING A Y- GTY !! Even when your invoice Below : Stateroom: Y-GTY Oceanview Guarantee Stateroom Obstructed View Percentage: 0% I paid on this basis it does not mean this !! Azamara can give you whatever they please !! I was given 6047 with a lovely view of the inside of a lifeboat Sharp Practice !!!
