Delray2002 Posted April 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Has anyone been on a recent (2022-23) Oceania cruise that stopped in Arrecefe (Lanzarote)? At which location did you dock? We've got a car rented at the port for a cruise in June but there are 2 cruise ship piers. The older one, Muelles de Los Marmoles, is where the car rental office is. The other and newer one, La Boca de Puerto Naos, is 5 km from the older docking location which would make the rental very complicated. Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

I believe that the harbor master at the port often decides where ships dock so Oceania very well could not know... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Oceania is deliberately not sharing their docking location to specifically make it impossible for their clients to plan anything,,,. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basor Posted April 12, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Just now, shepherd really said: especially those planning excursions without going through O. Because that directly impacts onboard spend and therefore the bottom line. ...ending this conversation, I was just trying to let the OP know that the Harbor Master determines where ships dock and those decisions can be made up to the last minute,,,not get in a argument with you...I don't need the last word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted April 13, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 13, 2023 You can always contact the Harbour Master & ask them https://www.palmasport.es/en/port-of-arrecife/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechwood Posted April 13, 2023 #14 Share Posted April 13, 2023 As it happens, we’ve just returned from a walking holiday in Lanzarote. We stayed in a villa in the interior but had a good view in the distance of where the cruise ships docked. We never saw more than one ship docked and only rarely was there a second ship and this anchored just off land. On the one day we were in Arrecife, we walked up to the port end of the city where there was a cruise ship docked and can say that this was location very walkable to a nice part of town and then on into the centre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
