Question about the shuttle in Victoria

[MilliesMom]

As one of the excursion options for Victoria, Princess offers a round trip shuttle/motor coach from the ship into Victoria and back. It is purely transportation into town (as it is $9 per person roundtrip and each way is only 15 minutes).

 

Has anyone booked this thru Princess before? Is there a set location in town where you catch the bus to return? Does the shuttle run every 15 minutes then back to the ship or every 1/2 hour? Felt they probably have more than one shuttle but wasn't sure.

 

OR are cabs readily available at a reasonable price?

 

Thanks.

There is a shuttle service from the cruise terminal to across the street from the Empress Hotel which operates for $8 pp rtn or you have the option of a cab for about $10 each way. There is also public transit from just outside the gates of the terminal which costs $2.50 pp each way discounted to $1.65 for seniors...CDN funds only. The downtown is a very pleasant, safe, 20 min , level walk if you wish.

If you do like to walk, it is a very pleasant walk.
