Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Looking at Google Maps it appears that pedestrian access starts at the intersection of Robert St and Buchanan St. A long walk from the nearest bus stops. There is no ferry service at present. I doubt that Holland America would offer a shuttle service. Realistically taxi or Uber is the best way to get there.

Sally0101 Posted August 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The bus from QVB stops at Robert St at Crescent St Stop ID: 203933 From there it is a 15min flat walk (1.3 Klm). As long as you don't mind walking and don't have too much luggage it is very doable. Done it myself a few times. I'm in my late 60s and find it easy to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted August 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2023 P&O does a direct transfer bus between White Bay & Central station in both directions. I don't see why HAL wouldn't do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes also have done a few times for P&O cruises . The $2:50 bus fare makes the walk easy knowing you have another $50 still in your pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colourbird Posted August 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2023 We've also done this walk between the bus and cruise terminal. The walk is easy and the buses are frequent with adequate space for luggage. We wouldn't go there any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzygirl Posted August 16, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted August 16, 2023 thanks everyone , dont mind the walk find it difficult to justify a $50 taxi fare when I have travelled from Gosford for $2.50 quay is so much easier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is important. A last go, cab from Central to White Bay was under $40, which for us is halved to $20 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
