Eartha Kitten Posted August 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We are leaving in two weeks and have conflicting departure information for embarkation. The Final Cruise Vacation Summary document from Oceania say one pier # but the actual port website indicates a different pier #. Which should we believe? Thank you.

StanandJim Posted August 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Sometimes the Port Authority finds it necessary to change the dock, after the blue books are printed. I would use their information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Travel Agent MAY have received an update e-mail, which then should've been forwarded to you. If no TA, perhaps you have received it directly from O and it's in your spam filter(?) OR O has a wrong e-mail address. In any case, you can call Oceania directly for the most up-to-date pier location. Also, check your CC Roll Call for any posts regarding the pier.

StanandJim Posted August 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2018 you can call Oceania directly for the most up-to-date pier location More up to date than the PORT would have?? Frankly, I don't see the point. Why not go to the horses mouth? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2018 So what quay does Oceania tell you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Rosebery Posted August 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Which city? 2 different piers could be side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep checking the port's website up until embarkation day. The port authority can keep changing piers to meet their needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not go to the horses mouth? :confused: I agree with you except that, sometimes, even a port website hasn't been updated for quite some time.

Eartha Kitten Posted August 3, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It is in Stockholm. An email with PDF of final summary was sent to our TA and states Frihamnen 650. But the website for the port says Frihamnen 638. Although I also see another ship listed with #638 on the same date. Very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to know ,in order to arrive safely, is that the ship is at the Frihamnen Cruise Terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted August 3, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 3, 2018 1. The cruise ship berths are right next or close to one another. You’ll be able to see your ship as you approach. 2. Chances are 95%+ the taxi driver will know exactly which to take you to. If not he’ll call his dispatch and they’ll tell him. Don’t over think it!

I only see Marina listed for the 19th :confused: http://www.portsofstockholm.com/vessel-calls/ The Costa ship departs before Marina arrives Looking at the map of the port area 650 & 638 are close so when you arrive you should see the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eartha Kitten Posted August 3, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Sadly we only arrive the morning before so will have the balance of Saturday and then Sunday morning. Definitely want to see Vasa Museum though not sure whether there will be fewer crowds late in the afternoon vs. an early morning. Also plan of course to walk around Gamla Stan.

Also plan of course to walk around Gamla Stan.There is also a lovely outdoor folk museum that I believe is right across the street from the Vasa. Glass blowing demos, folk singing and dancing etc. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted August 4, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Don’t plan any of the restaurants on your sail away. The archipelago one sails through entering and leaving Stockholm is truly spectacular. Try to get a seat outside on the Terrace for the view!

cbb Posted August 4, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 4, 2018 we caught a local bus to the Vasa across the street from where we were docked and were there about 10 minutes before it opened. Other than the other 5 people waiting in line with us, that was all for at least 45 minutes....then the tour buses arrived. Take your pictures quickly, THEN look at the info! we always like to go everywhere early rather than later--we both get a little stressed that we might arrive back in port too late. 3 pieces of advice for arriving at Disney World 1) arrive early 2)arrive early 3)arrive early--we have adopted WDW advice for all of our travels!!! and I agree with the idea of being out on Terrace or up top for the departure--one of the best sail away worldwide!
