On this particular cruise, some of the ports were difficult! Amsterdam was an easy walk into town; but others were just difficult. For example, Hamburg. Le Verdon wasn’t all that easy, unless you were doing an excursion. Le Havre turned out to be a pleasant surprise, there was a shuttle for $7, which included a day pass for local buses within town. In Bilbao, there were taxis available right outside the port building, that worked very well. It was difficult to get any information beforehand; you got into port, then you got to find out how easy or difficult things would be.

We decided to sit it out, finally. There was an excursion available, to tour the wineries. We don’t drink much, so that didn’t make sense to us. People who did go, had a great time.

Good thinking! That’s what we will probably end up doing. Soulac won’t be very pleasant in October. The distance is what’s keeping us in Le Havre & Honfleur; instead of going to Paris. A cruise is still a cruise, I’m sure it will fun.

We are going to Le Verdon in early October. I know that the ship (Norwegian Getaway) offers a shuttle ($15pp), to Soulac. Not too interested in that. Apart from that, there don’t seem to be too many options. I did hear on a YouTube video, that NCL also offered a shuttle to Bordeaux. $25 We are only interested in walking around Bordeaux, mostly the city center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. I hear its stunning. Does anyone know if NCL offers a shuttle/bus to Bordeaux & back. If that is offered, I would jump at it. Are there any other ideas. I would love to hear from someone who has been to Le Verdon recently (2023). Thank you!
