Taxi fare- Boudicca 19th. Oct.

[Popsey Wopsey]

Does anyone know the taxi fare from Liverpool Lime St., to Langton dock and anyone else on this cruise.:)

[westmorland sailor]

It's about 15 minutes from Lime Street to the terminal so the fare should be in the region of £7-8, but could be £10 if he has to go around into the New Seaforth Dock to the berth. I usually pay £10-11 out to Crosby which is just beyond the Dock by another 5 miles or so. It shouldn't be more than that, but a lot depends on the cost of petrol at the time I guess.

We just received a load of bumph this morning from Victoria travel. Looking at Crown Princess, but will check out Fred as well. Crown Princess is huge :eek:- can it get into little places like the Braemar? Wasn't it wonderful coming down the rivers on French collection cruise?

[Popsey Wopsey]

Our first one was on Grand Princess ,sister ship to Crown,it was enjoyable but not as "quaint" as BP.

 

I thought the Braemar cruise one of the nicest I,ve ever done,what a great atmosphere on the ship as well.Wish Olsen had another smallish ship that could get into these ports,I,m sure it would be a great hit.:)

We loved it, I hadn't been to any of the places before, OH had "passed through" Amsterdam, but not been to any of the other places. I had reservations about France before, but now love it. I'm recommending Fred to everyone:D and as you can see have already booked the Cuba/Caribbean cruise for my birthday in Feb 2011

Hope you realise that this cruise starts in Newcastle and relocates to Liverpool.

Have no fear ,there is a free transfer from Langton dock to Newcastle at the beginning of the cruise,also a shuttle from Norton St., National Express coach station to Langton dock,there is also a free shuttle for passengers going back to Newcastle at the end of the cruise.:)

I live in Liverpool and tend to avoid the taxis as I think they are expensive. From my house to the Pier Head around 3 miles cost me £8 if I included the tip.

 

The journey from Lime Street is over twice the distance and it will depend which of the dock entrances the taxi uses. Strand Road gate is shortest to Langton Terminal - but is only open weekdays during normal working hours and even then can close.

 

Going via Seaforth Gate - the main entrance adds almost two miles.

 

Though I have paid for port parking when using Liverpool, some friends who have used the port without a car get the train to Bootle New Strand (change at Lime Street) and catch a taxi from there.

 

There is a frequent service to Bootle on the Southport line.

 

Bootle New Strand is a shopping complex with bus and taxi stands.
