skiladyldp Posted March 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hello, where will I find a water taxi to take me to Hotel Ala in Saint Marco Square? I will be disembarking off the Riveria in October and will be loaded with luggage. Do we have to walk a ways to find a water taxi stand? Do I need to make reservations ahead or can a porter arrange it. Thanks for any information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Caroldoll Posted March 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2012 is the new cruise terminal YES there is a long way to go and with luggage. I think the last poster is right, ask the hotel if they can send someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you exit the hall, there will be a desk with a guy coordinating water taxis. As you approach the desk, look for some one to share with. With a lot of luggage, 4 is ideal. Or find someone on the ship to share with. The guy at the desk has a telefonnino and calls in water taxis as required . He will ask where you want to go, how many you are and will give you a slip with the number of the taxi on it. The dock is about 40 yards from the exit from the hall. Depending on the no/size of ship, the dock area can be a bit chaotic. Marina isn't too huge compared to some. The screenshot shows the custom hall at the top (exit at left end) and the dock with some taxis just below. To see for yourself, cut and paste these numbers into google earth or google maps 45.438131,12.312326 include the comma Asking the hotel would IMO be a waste of time as the water taxi would have no where to wait.
