diverward Posted February 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hello all, would like to know if Princess will provide a shuttle from Aotea Dock to the downtown area in Wellington New Zealand. All information greatly appreciated. Also posted this on Australia/New Zealand port of call and the Princess Board as well. Thank you for all info.

Te Aroha Posted February 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2017 We sailed on the Diamond princess in Feb 2016 and there was a paid shuttle from Princess. It was $10 (AU) for a return trip and it dropped you off opposite the cable car entrance in the city centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2017 For Royal the Shuttles (free) took you to Wakefield street in the CBD, very easy location to various points of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sama10 Posted February 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2017 On the Emerald in Dec 16 and on the Sun in 2010 there were free shuttles from the port to Brandon St, very close to David Jones and only a few minutes walk to the cable car.

Lanwood Posted February 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Yep - provided by Wellington, and not Princess though. Was free, and regular (Dec/Jan just gone) You actually don't have a choice if not on a tour, as port authorities have forbidden people walking off the ship privately due to damage of the wharf in the previous earth quakes. So if you're not on a tour, you'll have to take the shuttle. The shuttle was dropping off and picking back up from Brandon Street (next to witchery) on our day in port recently. So a nice central location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
