Janie, you're welcome.

 

I was on 30th Sept sailing, Using Japan public transportation is not necessary a subpar travel. Under certain conditions, I will use taxi like visiting Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyoto, because no public transport nearby and temple locates on a steep hill slope. If you plan taking a taxi from Tokyo station to cruise terminal, expecting >17,000 yen on fare, travel time is 40 min if no traffic congestion.

Bon Voyage.

Thanks Michael.  I think I will take the train to Osanbashi.  Sounds easy enough! Just curious, was there many taking the bus from YCAT to Narita with it being disembarkation day? The schedule shows a bus every hour or is it kind of continuous?  I thought we may need to pre-book or may miss the bus we want to catch if it's full and have to wait an hour for the next one.

I disembarked at 8:50am, the ship was 2/3 empty already. Taxi stand is at left side of the terminal building exit, taxi queue was short - 5 min wait, there was a dispatcher and two port workers assisting passenger luggage load onto taxi. Most taxi are sedan but saw a few large taxi vans.
Be flexible, if the dispatcher cannot get you a taxi van, then settle with 2 sedan taxi. 

Show the taxi driver the following YCAT address,  without lost in translation

 

YCAT Yokohama City Air Terminal (横浜シティ・エア・ターミナル)
220-0011 Kanagawa, Yokohama, Nishi Ward, Takashima, 2 Chome−19−12, Sky Building, 1階
〒220-0011 神奈川県横浜市西区高島2丁目−19−12 スカイビル1階

Everyone is pay as you go. For Narita bus ticket, purchase through ticket counter, the vending machines are for Haneda buses.

I disembarked from Celebrity Millennium 4 days ago. I took taxi from Yokohama cruise terminal to YCAT costs 2,100 yen. Luggage carts are available at YCAT taxi stand, the building access ramp is at the right side. YCAT airport bus  to Narita runs every hour, fare is 3,700yen, travel time is < 2 hrs.

Hi Monkey@cruise,

Was it a long wait for taxi when you disembark?  Is there taxi vans at the port or just 4 passenger Taxis?  Do you have to pre-booked your YCAT Narita bus?  Looking forward to your reply.

Hi All,

I will be on a cruise disembarking in Osanbashi in a couple of weeks.  I am trying to find the best way to Narita after we get off the ship with luggages and all 😅😅.  I am thinking of taking the coach from YCAT.  Is it quite easy to get a taxi to the bus terminal?  There is 8 in our group.  Is there taxi van at Osanbashi? Our flight is not until 6pm. We want to store our luggage somewhere to tour around town or go to Narita right away and store our luggage at the airport and train back out to Narita city to walk around and get lunch.  I am also looking at possibly a Hiace day hire that will take us to Narita with a tour. We still haven't decided what to do.  Any suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Not on a roll call yet but I am pretty sure we might try and book a private Game of Thrones tour while in Belfast. While we are not hardcore fans of the show, we both enjoyed it and the some of the private tours from Belfast hit a lot of the stops from the show as well as a few hours at Giants Causeway as well. It seems to encompass much more of the north eastern coast + Giants Causeway. Just trying to narrow down the exact provider who can fit this all in an 8 hr window

We will be in Belfast at the end of Sept on the NCL Dawn and I am trying to find a private tour for our group.  It seems most of the tours will take you to a few of the Game of Throne film sites as well as Giant's causeway.  I have contacted a few of the local companies  but we have 10 in our group and most take 8 or less.  I have looked at Odyssey tours, it will be our last resort if I can't find a private tour. 

Thanks again for the information, JB and MAVIP 🙂  

Thank you all for the great information.  

I am wondering if there will be enough time to visit the town of Weymouth and some of the nearby sights, like Durdle door and Lulworth, or will it be too rushed.  Also, is it easy to get a taxi tour to these places in town or at the port?  or best to book an excursion?

Miriam, so you did clear the wait list! We will be leaving from Amsterdam on Norwegian Dawn on 24th May then up around Scotland, Kirkwall Orkney’s and via Ireland to Southhampton. We will stay in Richmond with my sister and family and also celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend before flying back to Amsterdam on 5th June.

Will keep notes on Portland.

Happy planning

Hi Roslyn,

I will be on the NCL Dawn this September doing the reverse itinerary.  This will be my first time doing the British Isles.  I am starting to do some research on the ports, any advice from your cruise will be appreciated.  We will be staying in Amsterdam for 3 nights after our cruise.  This will be our 2nd time to Amsterdam, loved it the last time when we were there on Kings day.  So jealous you will be there for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.  Happy sailing.

I am bringing the cards but it's not the same as the real thing.

Our family have an upcoming reunion on the Carnival Dream. We have a few sets of grandparents travelling with us and they love playing mahjong. I know some cruise ships have them in their games room with tables. Does anyone know whether they have it on the Carnival Dream?
