Cruisernat Posted May 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Going to Victoria on Westerdam. Does HAL have a shuttle service to city and back to port? If so, do you need to purchase tickets in advance. Alternately, are cabs readily available. Do they take USD? Also anyone remember what time bags have to be outside cabin that night. We depart Victoria at 11.59 pm. Disembarking in Seattle next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted May 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I took this photo last year. I imagine prices are similar this year: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably is a shuttle but there usually is a fee. Why not walk to the city center ? Bags usually should be out no later than midnight preferably by 8PM.

frankc98376 Posted May 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I believe the bus was about $7.00 round trip into downtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen the 8pm request on any hal ship. Are you thinking of Princess? Luggage has to be out by 1 AM. That's what it has always said on all my cruises, the last one being the Veendam where I disembarked on May 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisernat Posted May 26, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Thanks for the info. Visual aids as well. I am impressed. I took this photo last year. I imagine prices are similar this year: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it has always said on all my cruises, the last one being the Veendam where I disembarked on May 23. 11 pm on the Westerdam which we disembarked on May 1st. Now, I did see bags go out later and they were picked up ;) Never ever seen the 8 pm and that would be tricky. the other late times are reasonable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted May 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Luggage has to be out by 1 AM. Or midnight, as it was on my recent Volendam cruise. Luggage out has never been so early as 8:00 PM. Second sitting is just entering the dining room at that hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted May 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The 11PM request on our recent Westerdam cruise is the earliest I have ever seen. It is usually a 1AM deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We depart Victoria at 11.59 pm. Disembarking in Seattle next day. We were on Westerdam May 9th-16th. We didn't use a shuttle in Victoria so I don't have any information on that. We received a letter stating bags should be in the hallway no later than 12am. Along with the letter we also received the luggage tags that needed to be put on our luggage. The tags give the time and color you're assigned to disembark the following morning. I hope the food is better for you and the weather is amazing! Enjoy your cruise.
