we are going on the sapphire princess in Jan 2018 out of Singapore. I'm looking for accommodation close to where she docks, but I can't find where she docks. Can anyone out there help?

Thanks in advance :cool:

Searching the Cruise Critic port information I found some information on this webpage which says it's the new Marina Bay Cruise Centre.

Where You're Docked

 

Since 2012, Singapore has had two separate cruise terminals. Previously, most ships docked at the Singapore Cruise Centre, which is part of the large Harbourfront Centre and VivoCity, about a 10- to 15-minute taxi drive from downtown. With the arrival of the larger mega-ships to Asia, Singapore has also constructed a new facility, Marina Bay Cruise Centre, which is located at the southernmost tip of the country.

 

Star Cruises uses Singapore Cruise Centre, as does Holland America and some other lines operating smaller ships. Cruise lines with mega-ships, such as Celebrity, Cunard, Princess and Royal Caribbean, have moved their port calls and occasional turnarounds to the new Marina Bay facility.

Taxis are relatively cheap in Singapore, so you don't need be really close to where the ship docks.

Last year our hotel was near Lavender station, quite a distance, cab fare was 30 Singapore dollars. Very cheap for two people. Check on google there is a site that will estimate taxi fares for many cities, Singapore is one of them.
