Rare travelberlin Posted March 9, 2023 #29 Share Posted March 9, 2023 We had a port shuttle in Buenos Aires from the terminal to the end of Calle Florida. Very convenient. It run every half an hour until about 17.00. Ivi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatnix Posted May 20, 2023 #32 Share Posted May 20, 2023 @fraj1 We visited some of them with Azamara. As you are mostly tendered no shuttles necessary. Which ports do you want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelingwithstyle Posted May 20, 2023 #36 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Does anyone know if there is a complimentary Azamara shuttle in Ravenna, Italy from the cruise port to the city center. My understanding is that the city center is 20 minutes from the cruise port. The Azamara excursion list for Ravenna has a city transport only (no tour) for $69 a person. Seriously, I about fell over in my chair. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatnix Posted May 20, 2023 #37 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Last summer there was a complimentary bus from port to Ravenna center and back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfastman Posted May 20, 2023 #38 Share Posted May 20, 2023 In October last year there was a shuttle from the port to the train station which was a 10 minute walk to the centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler6597 Posted May 25, 2023 #40 Share Posted May 25, 2023 We took the cruise on 5-6-23 to 5-18-23. We departed from Barcelona, and we ended the cruise in the port of Chioggia, Italy for an overnight stay on 5-17-23 to 5-18-23. If you want to visit Venice from the port of Chioggia, you have to walk over 1 mile to the bus stop. The bus runs every hour and it cost less than 5 Euros. It takes an hour or so for the bus gets to the bus terminal right outside Venice. The walk is short to find transportation via water to the area of St. Mark's square. When you leave you must again find transportation via the canals back to the bus terminal. When you get back to the Chioggia area the nearest bus stop to the ship is again over a mile walk back to the ship. If you are in decent shape the long walk to the bus stop or back to the ship is a piece of cake. Our situation was different because my wife has a walking problem in her right legs which caused her to drag her leg although she uses a rollator and in the past two years, I've had both my knees replaced. We're also both 71 years old and we're not used to walking that far. There were a lot of fellow cruisers that took that walk to get to Venice and it was exhausting. The last day we departed the ship and Azamara had motor coaches within 50 feet of the ship. Why can't Azamara provide transportation to and from Venice. How hard is it to have motor coaches shuttling paid guest back and forth to Venice on the day before we depart. The shore excursions were very limited which was very disappointing. If they can have 10 busses next to the ship at the port in Chioggia on disembarkation morning, why can't they provide busses to Venice and back to the ship at the port of Chioggia. We love Azamara cruises but the port in Chioggia quite frankly was a poor choice and I don't have a solution for that but if that's the closest port to Venice then please provide transportation for us to get to Venice and back to the port of Chioggia and closer to the ship.

KTV Posted May 26, 2023 #41 Share Posted May 26, 2023 What about Siracusa, Messina, Dubrovnik, or Sorrento? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatnix Posted May 26, 2023 #42 Share Posted May 26, 2023 @KTV Dubrovnik and Sorrento are tender ports. Siracusa and Messina I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combine Posted May 26, 2023 #43 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Dubrovnik can be a docked port if its too windy to tender. A shuttle will be provided to the Pile Gate if this is the case. Had this happen twice before. Sorrento is a tender port, there is a lift up to the town level, its just along the walkway from where the tenders arrive. You can buy a return ticket, think it was €2.

Syracuse we were docked right into town a short walk away from the city centre. Sorrento is a tender port where you are also dropped off right in the centre of town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly dropped "right in the centre of town" but at the base of the cliffs from where it is a good walk up to the centre of Sorrento, or I believe there is now a lift one can use.

JIM R Posted June 4, 2023 #48 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Does Azamara provide a complimentary shuttle from Zeebrugge to Bruges ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if they provide a complimentary shuttle to Bruges most cruise lines provide shuttles to the train station in nearby Blankenburg. From there there’s a regular train service into Bruges, not been there recently but the return fare was very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
