EPIC Shuttle to town for Palma de Mallorca?

[m4rcla]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if Norwegian (Epic) has shuttle that takes you from the port to town? I read on some of the port reviews for Palma de Mallorca that the Royal Caribbean for example, have shuttle from port to town for around $10.

 

When I login to my NCL cruise online, I do not see an option for the shuttle, only regular shore excursions which are around $60-$80.

 

Thanks in advance!

Don't worry about the transportation in Palma de Mallorca. The pier is actually in town -- only it's the farther end of town with respect to the Cathedral and old section.

 

A taxi from the pier to the Cathedral is only about 6 euros (maybe a little more if it's a Sunday, nighttime, or there is a lot of traffic). And taxis are plentiful from old town to go back to the pier.

 

Kind regards,

The Linea 1 bus stops at the end of the pier and will take you into the centre for just a euro or two should you prefer not to walk. It's a lovley walk to say, the Cathedral along a flat promenade but may take you half an hour or so. The bus is a cheap and convenient option - they run every 15 minutes I believe.

 

Here is a link which shows fares and route;

The Epic did offer a shuttle from the pier to the cathedral area--$12 pp round trip. We used it to leave the ship, but ended up walking back to the ship, since our wanderings took us closer to that direction.
