myfeethurt Posted June 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We are really late in trying to figure things out. We are doing Gdansk on our own. Has anyone figured out how to get there from the ship? The things we read about the train didn't sound so great. We were thinking about getting a cab for the day - maybe sharing one with 2 other people. We've done that in other cities and the driver kind of become our tour guide, etc. Any thoughts? Karyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted June 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Welcome to Cruise Critic You might want to post this on the Ports of Call boards or do a search there for Gdansk. That way you will be speaking to ALL cruisers and not just limiting yourself to Oceania cruisers who have been to Gdansk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitraveler Posted June 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We found taxis waiting at the port. The driver took us and another couple into town and we walked about for a couple of hours. Meeting back in the plaza at a prearranged time we returned to the ship. We paid in euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfeethurt Posted June 18, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks for the response and tip! I am really new to this and there seems to be a learning curve and I am short on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfeethurt Posted June 18, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks for this info. Since we are short on time, it sounds like a good plan. I am sure we'll meet someone who wants to do the same thing. Karyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reply via the forum and we could make arrangements. Thanks. Chris and Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuAnn Posted June 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2013 and it was simple and easy. But if you don't feel comfortable...then the taxi (sharing) would be a good idea. Have fun...what ever you decide!! LuAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfeethurt Posted June 18, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Chris and Ann, Yes, we are on the Marina sailing on the 25th of June. It would be great to share a taxi. I've read a few other things and some people have said that the driver becomes their guide, too, for the day. I saw, too, that the Oliwa Catherdral is a wonderful place to see, but it is outside of the Old Town. Would you want to do that as well? Looking forward to meeting you?

We have a private guide and he wants only 2 people I feel driver/guide may be available at Viator. Taxi also sounds good Happy hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
