roothy123 Posted February 24, 2018 #356 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Thanks for doing this - it's wonderful. I was curious about Venice, though - is that a shuttle by coach to P. Roma, where you can then take a vaporetto somewhere else for sightseeing, or a water shuttle to San Marco, or free ride on People Mover, or what? I'm hoping the poster who reported this will see this and reply! Venice is such a tricky port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted March 19, 2018 #358 Share Posted March 19, 2018 We are going to Alaska and Canada/other U.S. ports. I don't think anyone has commented on those yet. Does anyone know if there's usually a shuttle in Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka (all Alaska), Prince Rupert, Canada, or Astoria, Oregon? We're also in San Francisco, but since the cruise port is right in the city, I don't think a shuttle anywhere will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're also in San Francisco, but since the cruise port is right in the city, I don't think a shuttle anywhere will be needed. Ketchikan, dock at the town, no shuttle needed. Juneau, dock almost at the center, no shuttle needed. Sitka, docked outside the town, shuttle provided, thought is was about 10 to 15 min. ride to town. Can't comment on the other places.

the mice Posted March 23, 2018 #364 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Is there shuttle service from:Brest Ferrol, Spain? Thanks to all We were on Marina in September 2017. We had tours to other places in both ports so did not use the shuttles, but this is from info provided to us onboard: In Brest we were docked from 10:00 am - 7:00 pm at Pier QR4. We were provided with a shuttle schedule, starting at 10 am, last shuttle from city at 6:15pm. Note at top of schedule : "Shuttle with 3 stops: Brest Castle (Navy Museum), City center and Quay de la Douane. It's about 8 minutes ride to the first stop." In Ferrol we docked from 9:00 am - 7:00 pm at Muelle de Fernandez Ladreda. The shuttle info was listed in Currents: "There will be a complimentary port shuttle bus service running continuously from the pier to the 18th Century city district, also the main shopping area, beginning at 9:00 am, with the last shuttle departing from town at 6:00 pm. For those who would prefer to walk, the city centre is within walking distance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy from MV Posted March 25, 2018 #365 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Our ship, Marina, stops in Honfleur not La Havre. Is there a shuttle available from Honfleur? This list is a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mice Posted March 25, 2018 #366 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Our cruise on Marina in September 2017 also stopped in Honfleur from 8:30am to 11:30pm. From the Currents: " Today in Honfleur guests may use complimentary shuttle buses provide by the local port authority to reach the City Center. The shuttle will run continuously from the ship beginning from 9:00 am, with the last shuttle returning to the ship at 8:15 pm. " FYI on Honfleur- We were there on a Tuesday when both the Eugene Boudin Museum and Maisons Satie were closed. Honfleur is lovely and quite picturesque but can be seen in a few hours; however, it can be a lovely and relaxing day. Many people arrange for excursions to the Normandy beaches for WWII history, but this can be a long day. We personally rented a car from Sixt and drove to Giverny to visit Monet's Garden. This was a drive of approximately 1.25 hours on very good roads. Easy and rewarding and we still had plenty of time to explore Honfleur before returning to the ship on the shuttle around 8pm.

the mice Posted March 28, 2018 #370 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Happy to help. BTW, from my research, Brest isn't particularly interesting if you are looking for a city with Old World charm - it was/is a naval base. We did O's excursion to Morlaix and Chateau de Kerjean -Morlaix is a charming town, and we had a lovely guide. In Ferrol, someone organized a private excursion to Santiago de Compostela through Spain Day Tours. Was great. Enjoy your cruise.

levenlinks Posted April 29, 2018 #372 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Anyone know if there is a shuttle in Livorno and if there is , where does it take you? Thanks! KIm From Livorno you can take a train into Florence. Just be sure to take one back by 4:00pm. We had a woman commit suicide in front of our train and couldn't get back until after 8pm even with that 4:00 train. As much as I am not a Princess fan, they sent two buses to pick us all up from the train station since I didn't know how many of us there were and held the ship for us. It was much appreciated!

The key is getting to the train station as many taxi drivers are not interested in cheap fares. You can take the shuttle to the drop off spot, and then you have to take a city bus to the train station. We've done it a couple of times. Once we went to Lucca, which I would recommend.

We used the bus from the drop off spot as well. It's not hard to do (although may need coins; don't remember), and reasonably fast. Others: Anyone know of shuttle availability in Alaska ports like Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka? Or Prince Rupert in Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
