I got 2 different answers as to whether carnival stock and other obc could be used for gratuities. Have not been on this line since before Covid so am asking what cc members have found

I forgot to ask if taxi drivers expect to be tipped and if so what percentage is the average?  I haven’t been to England in quite some time and wasn’t using taxis on my last visit.

Thanks so much for answering my questions John. It looks like taking a taxi from the cruise terminal to the White Cliffs Visitor center makes the most sense and then walking from there weather permitting. I assume from there a taxi to the castle won’t be a problem.  Not sure of distances between the terminal, visitor center, castle and back to the terminal but am guessing it’s not very far.  Could you hazard a guess on fares?
 

Thanks again for your assistance.

I am very interested in taking the train from Le Havre to Rouen. Is there any tourist information at the train station in Rouen?  Is the station convenient to the historical center of town? Is the tourist train worth doing or is this city a great diy?

It seems like in Portland the shuttle will get us to Weymouth and the castle so no need for a taxi. Thanks for information regarding taxis in Dover as trip from terminal to the castle and lighthouse would be convenient.  Any suggestions you might have regarding the path from the castle to St. Margaret’s Bay would be appreciated.  Is it a difficult walk? How long Would it take? At St. Margaret’s Bay will taxis be available?
I am hoping the weather will cooperate!!

Can you Uber in le harve from the port to train station ?
If you use a taxi are credit cards accepted?

Does Uber work in Dover or Weymouth?
If you use a taxi will credit cards be acceptable.?

Does anyone know what a taxi would cost between these locations and is it difficult to get a taxi back from the beach?
 

is there a public bus between the 2 areas and about how long would it take for the trip to and from the beach?

We are considering Peppers tours and am concerned that longer tour May have too much walking. Needing water shoes was mentioned but how strenuous is the walking? Are there rocky and lots of uneven trails? We are in our 70s and I have some knee and back issues.

Any feedback would be appreciated 

Has anyone done this tour recently? Looks like fun and was looking for recent info. Saw listing on Viator for 4 and a half hours and have not been in this type of vehicle.

Hi Diane and Mike,

Yes we are on Rotterdam and would be glad to share some adventures with you both. It seems like in these ports a diy would be possible.  
 

Let’s talk at meet and greet on the 14th.

Rhoda and Nancy

We will be traveling in April to these 2 ports and have some questions:

Brest-Is there a shuttle from the port into town? Can you get by public bus to the local museums and botanical gardens?
 

Le Havre- Am considering going to Rouen and Givency or just Honfleur. I feeling going to Paris in one day isn’t worth it.  Any feedback from those who were in port for 12 hours on a weekday would be appreciated. 

We will be going to these 2 ports on the Rotterdam in April and are hoping that someone who has been to them before can help.

Portland- Since we have already been to Stonehenge and Canterbury before is a train ride to Weymouth a good idea? Any other suggestions for a Wednesday excursion?
 

Dover- Can you get to the castle and lighthouse with public bus from the port? Does the footpath from Dover to St. Margaret’s Bay start near the port?
 

Since I have never been to either place do they have a shuttle into town or tourist office at the port? Can you buy tickets on the bus or use a credit card for payment?
 

Thanks for posting your information.  Please let us know how your meeting goes tomorrow when further clarification will be given on this complicated situation.

We are appreciative of any details you can share regarding the new itinerary and comps offered.

What ports in Asia are you skipping and what ports around Africa have been added?  

I am really looking forward to hearing what the options are for the Onward and Journey which are supposed to transit the Red Sea and Suez Canal!

Information is long overdue!!

As has been discussed it seems that Azamara is only line that has not made a decision on their itinerary and shared it with their passengers. I thought I had read a rumor that March 1 might be the day we heard something. 
 

please post as soon as you receive authentic information on changes as the waiting is providing additional anxiety to all involved!!
