  1. Shuttle to EWR is $16/pp. No reservations. They just fill the shuttles up as folks get off the ship and send them off. When you come through customs,you make a left and go to the dispatcher at the end of the tent. He will put you on a shared shuttle or will get you a private taxi/car. $45 sounds a little low - I'm thinking at least $50 for a private car.

     

    Thanks for the information. We will look for the shuttle and if that does not work out we will take a taxi.

  2. Relatively new to this thread. Is there a shuttle from the port Cape Liberty to the EWR airport? If so, are reservations needed and what is the cost?

    I have read that taxis are abundant and charge about $45.00 per couple for the trip to the EWR airport?

    Thanks for your help.

  3. Does anyone have the phone number of Independent Driver? We need transportation from the Springhill Suites by Marriott (about 4 miles for the airport) to the port and from the port back to the Newark airport. I have hear that there is a shuttle as that may be another possiblity.

    Thanks for your help!

  5. Thanks for your help. You do a great service for people new to the area.

    I booked the Country Inn & Suites. Just as a matter of info, they have a senior citizens rate of $114.

     

    Thanks again,

    Hi Mike,

    Country Suites for $114.00? Is this hotel near Newark (EWR) New Jersey airport?

  6. Terry and Judy,

     

    We did a Game Drive before we boarded the ship in Capetown. We did it in the Sabi Sands area of South Africia. It was absolutely fantastic and I would urge anyone who has 3 spare days to do at least one. I will send all the details in my email to you.

    Jennie, would you mind please forwarding the information to me at tbrowneller at gmail.com. I must have misplaced what you sent before.

    Thanks.

  7. Princess did not offer an overland tour to the game parks.

    A number of people came to southern Africa early for a safari to one or more of the game parks.

    Thanks for the information. If you know of anyone who went early to go on a safari I hope that you may give to me any information that you may have. I am at tjbrowneller at wbhsi.com.

  8. MoniqueMontreal,

     

    If you give me your email address I can send you my diary which covers the cruise from Capetown to Le Havre.

     

    I also have a list of the Tour Guides we used in all the different countries.

    Hi Jennie:

    We are also planning on doing a West Africa cruise from CapeTown to Dover on the Ocean Princess. Would you mind forwarding your itinerary and tours to me at tjbrowneller at wbhsi.com? (replacing "at" with @ sign). Please include any comments that you may have regarding the tours.

    I also have the cruise segment right before the one above that goes from Singapore to Capetown. Cannot do both time wise but my wife thinks that the West Africa would be safer and away from pirates:))

    Thank you so much for helping us with all the information that you can give to us.

  9. Hi all

     

    Just returned from my 28 day Amazon River Cruise on the Pacific Princess.

     

    If anyone is interested in my review with photos or has any questions I am happy to share just let me know ann at century 21 vancouver dot com

    Hi Ann:

    Judy and I saw your posting on Cruisecritic.com and would be interested in your write up and photos of your Amazon cruise. We are hoping to take the Royal Princess to the Amazon later this year or in early 2010. In addition, we are also interesting if there are any contacts that you may have for private excursions.

    Your email address keeps coming back to me so please email us at taz1 at wbhsi dot com

    Terry and Judy
