Thanks to all for the info. I'll go ahead and order a few cases for our stateroom-

It may seem a silly question, but can anyone share the brand of bottled water that Princess offers for purchase? I would like to order a case or two for our room, but some brands actually have sodium and I am trying to avoid that. Thanks so much!

Hi all,

Does anyone  have a recommendation for a car rental agency close to the port?  We would like to explore the area on our own during our cruise stop in November.
Thanks for any suggestions-

Didn't really think about that since this is a stop on our Canada/New England cruise....thanks for the tip!

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a car rental agency near the Norfolk cruise terminal?

Our ship will be in port from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. and we would like to explore the area on our own, visit Colonial Williamsburg, etc.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated-

Thanks so much!

I just googled it........it seems easy to walk, especially since it will be early morning or possibly have Enterprise pick us up. Their office is closed for the day, so I will call them tomorrow.

Thanks so much for your help! :)

Thank you so much for the information.

Is it easy to access from the port? We like to walk, so even if it's a few miles away, that would be okay.

Thanks again!

Hi all,

We will be arriving in Boston on Saturday, November 3rd and will be there from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.

Since we have been to Boston many times, we would like to head out of the city to meet up with family in Portsmouth, NH. Are there any car rental agencies close to the cruise port? I would prefer not to go out to the airport.

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

We have always had good luck using Rick Steves guides and Tom's Port Guides. Also, ahead of your trip you may want to watch some of Rick Steve's travel videos which are available online for free.

We did the SPB 2 day tour in St. Petersburg last summer and it was amazing! We actually did tours with them in every port on our Baltic cruise and all were excellent. Their tour guides are among the best we have ever had. They offer a discount if you book more than one tour and if you put together a Cruise Critic Roll Call group, you may get additional discount. Our Baltic cruise was one of my favorites!

Also want to add that we did not have to wait in a dining room to exit the ship. SPB takes care of your immigration papers, etc. and it's a very easy process.

So disappointing to hear all of this as we will be on the Silhouette in a few weeks.

Last April we were on the Reflection for a transatlantic crossing and had excellent connections all the time, even out in the middle of the ocean!

However, I have heard many complaints about Silhouette and I too hope they are paying attention!
