5waldos Posted January 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2009 We will be at the Hotel Galvez the night before our cruise and wonder if anyone knows what time the shuttles to the ship begin? We are hoping to get there early enough to get on quickly. I'd rather wait before than end up in a huge line of people. Is it also within walking distance? We will not have a lot of luggage, being of the pack light then lighter school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheerBelleMom Posted January 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2009 No, the Galvez isn't within walking distance of the ship. The valet had a shuttle schedule, and asked us the night before what time we wanted to head on over. I think the earliest was 1030--he wrote our name down at that time. We came down about 930 the next morning, and requested an earlier ride, and we were able to board a van around 10 or so...just the 5 of us!

5waldos Posted January 9, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted January 9, 2009 That sound great- thanks for the info. I really prefer waiting around an emptyish dock to get on early than waiting in crowds to line up. It ends up the same amount of time usually- but then you are on board!

They told us to call on Saturday and they would put us on the list, it is first come first serve.....so you can call on your way into town even.

BirdmanBilly Posted February 15, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It is a first come first-serve situation. You should try and see how many ships will be returning and going back out. When there is only one ship it is easier to get and earlier time. If there are two such as Conquest and Voyager of the Sea then you are competing with another shipload of people. The lobby area can get pretty hectic and busy on sunday mornings and you want to make sure that you give the valet guys who run the shuttle the heads up that you have arrived for your scheduled shuttle.
