 FULL DAY SHORE EXCURSION TO FLORENCE AND PISA FROM LIVORNO WITH TASTING We will be using Viator company and Need information how to travel via shuttle from cruise ship to our bus to Florence- then to Pisa and a taste. Please help I am kind of confused .Via ClaudioCogorano1 Its telling me to take the shuttle bus to the last stop-where is the last stop and which shuttle bus  do I take? Being we are taking  an excursion away from ship, will we be able to depart the ship early enough  to catch the 9:30 bus-Our ship is the NCL Escape. Thank you for your assist.

 

We have a similar situation with a tour through Get Your Guide except to a different road near the port. Did you end up making it on time?

They also need to give you more specificity as to where in/on Piazza dell'Arsenale.  According to both Via Michelin and Google maps, it's not a central location, everything from one traffic circle to the other is termed Piazza dell'Arsendale (about 180 meters/one-tenth of a mile).

 

For what it's worth, both Via Michelin and Google maps show a walking route from the area where cruise ships typically port at Livorno (banchine 75, 46-47) to Piazza dell'Arsendale of about 1 km/six-tenths of a mile.  If you're allowed to walk there it's pretty close.

 

If they force you to take the shuttle to Piazza del Municipio, the walk back to Arsendale is about a half mile.

Thank you so much. This is very helpful regarding options if I don’t get a response. There is a specific address and I suppose it’s off that road.  We leave in a couple of weeks and I was having some anxiety 🥴.

My group has an excursion to Florence and Pisa reserved with GetYourGuide and the meeting point is at Piazza dell’ Arsenale which is within the port of Livorno, but I can’t figure out how to get from our cruise pier to that area. I’ve presented the inquiry to get your guide and and the tour operator but I’ve yet to hear response. From what I understand, the shuttles only go from the cruise pier directly into town at Piazza Municipale in town. I’m wondering if anyone who has been to this port would have any information on this? 

Also, just to contribute to the experience so far, our friend’s reservation at the Comfort Inn Condado was cancelled for 1/20. Our Allegiant flight was cancelled so we decided to just book flight through RC on the sail date and not take a chance with hotels or further flight cancellations. We had planned on staying at the Holiday Inn Express but were told they were booked.

Thanks for starting the thread! My husband and I along with another couple will be sailing out of San Juan on 1/21. It’s only our 2nd time cruising and it’s been 20yrs since last so any information is helpful!
