ancientmariner Posted May 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Apologies if this has been asked before. I've just booked my first Celebrity "Wine Region" cruise on Constellation. The ship docks some way from the town in each port so I was wondering if Celebrity provide shuttle buses. If so, do they make a charge for this service?

Rare cruisestitch Posted May 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It would help to know which ports, but the general rule is that if the port provides the shuttle to get you from the ship through the industrial parts of the facility, there is no charge. But if the shuttle is provided by a private contractor or arranged by Celebrity, there is a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michidoeme Posted May 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2012 In Malaga, the ship was parked a bit away and we paid $ 6 for the shuttle bus for the whole day, i.e. we could go back and forth as often as we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker in Texas Posted May 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2012 As OP said, the port will have a free shuttle to take you to the entrance of the port sometimes but very rarely into a city center. We found that most of the time shuttle service was provided for around $8 to $12 pp to get to civilization. Sometimes, you are better off sharing a cab with someone. Other times, it is not that far a walk (and I am not a walker). Public buses are another alternative. I remember being told in one city (can't remember which one but it was in Europe) that the city had offered a free shuttle to get passengers to the center and the cruise line declined them (lol). You need to do research on the various ports but a ball park figure would be to budget $12 pp, per stop. Tucker in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
