braxx20 Posted June 1, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2011 We were thinking of the sailing from L.A. to Papeete. Oceania, with free air charges $125 per person for the transers. That is a ripoff. what's the alternative especially in Papeete? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted June 1, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Depends where is your hotel or if you are going directly to the ship. Many hotels have a transfer service -- they a reasonable and should not exceed $40. The airport is not too far from the port which is in downtown Papeete. Taxi ride is about $25 to $30 maximum.

Thanks You are not required to use the transfers nor the included air & hotel Just cancel them & make alternative arrangements You have to do what works best for you Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted June 2, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Taxi. A bit pricier if after dark, but still reasonably-priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted June 2, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Will I need the local money for the taxi? When we were there before we didn't ride in any taxi's as the transfer was included with Regent. I'm assuming I will, I guess I'll get a little money in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might take Euros (being French territory) but they are not likely to take US$ - they seem to be worthless these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
