Lanzarote port?

[thames_side]

QE 16th Sept to Canaries. Does any one know what is the name of the port we go to in Lanzarote?

[Mid-Atlantic Ridge]

Arrecife, there has always been a shuttle bus service to take you from the port to the edge of the town when I have been there. There is a small car hire depot but otherwise the port is very basic with no amenities.

 

M-AR

We called there on QV in May. There was no shuttle provided and everything was closed!

Cruise ships moor up At 'Los Marmoles' which is quite a distance (on foot ) from the centre of Arrecife. If there are no taxis or shuttle busses available I suggest you stay on board unless you are exceptionally fit !!!:

Some of the tours are intersting, but Arrecife does not wow us!

 

Certainly would not pay for a shuttle, been there, got the T shirt:)

We've seen quite a lot of the island on holidays so we used the shuttle bus (there was one from QM2 in November 2014).

We had a pleasant stroll and lunch.

Well it was a Sunday.

Yes, been to Lanzarote twice before. Reckon it's stay on th ship day. Could do the shuttle to Puerto del Carmen but I reckon I might get bored after 3 hours, Anybody done that?

AND it rained! Really, really dreary.

I would prefer an overnight in Funchal instead!

We were due there on QE last Christmas; however, strong winds prevented us berthing. Some would say this was a narrow escape - and we got a proper sea day and not just a 'stay on the ship' day.

We are getting an overnight in Funchal but, strangely, no call at Tenerife. Not that that worries me much.

To each his/her own. Though stark we thought the island beautiful.

 

Some photos if you are interested.

From the photos it looks like you went on a similar organised tour to the one we took.

Like you we found the volcanic landscapes which we drove through quite amazing, we also visited a vineyard and stopped halfway for an excellent lunch. Superb value at €45 for the day.

Don't stay on board, get out and explore!!

I just hired a driver/guide for Lanzarote, and I can't drink wine, but close. :)
