Nana4x Posted February 27, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Our booking for this cruise included tranfers for $289:mad: One would think that a cab ride from the airport to the ship in Hong Kong and from the ship to the airport in Singapore can be arranged for much less. Will we be expected to pay for the cabs in local currency? OR can we pay in US dollars? Are there places to exchange currency at the airports? OR should we bring local currency with us from home? Thanks in advance for your reply. Bobbi ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTGRL Posted April 3, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2005 We took a mercedes limo, private, to and from the airport- it was $60usd each way. Far better than a minivan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana4x Posted April 13, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Artgirl, How does one find a private car company for Hong Kong. Did you make the reservations in advance or arrange something on arrival at the airport. Thanks, Bobbi ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meow! Posted April 13, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2005 We went to (then British) Hong Kong a decade ago, before the airport moved to its present location. Back in those days, you got passengers and taxis both queueing up in good order right outside the airport. All Hong Kong taxis were neat and air conditioned, and there was no need for pre-booking limousines. Some luxury hotels would provide you a Mercedes-Benz or even Rolls Royce (in the case of the Peninsula Hotel) if you bought their special package. I don't know the situation there now. Presumably, taxis still queue up for passengers. Of course, there is the mass transit system, but with luggage, it will be much more convenient to just get a taxi. Hope this helps.
