Rare LHT28 Posted September 27, 2017 #326 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I thought I read on Oceania's site that they offer free shuttles at all ports to the city center. Or maybe I'm delusional ;-) but that's what we plan on doing for our March cruise. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Forums mobile app It may depend on how far the city center is from the dock Some it is a short walk some it is a working port so you are not allowed to walk in the port area Some ports the port provides a shuttle See the list above to see if your ports are listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Forums mobile app You got to watch those qualifier words, here's what the website says. The highlighting is mine. FREE shuttle service from ship to city center in many ports of call – a daily value of up to $50 per guestThere is definitely a difference between many and all.

YoHoHo Posted October 1, 2017 #329 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I thought I read on Oceania's site that they offer free shuttles at all ports to the city center. Or maybe I'm delusional ;-) but that's what we plan on doing for our March cruise. Much like LTH28 wrote, it depends on the port location, safety, etc This is O's FAQ. I'll have to inquire next time on board for the shuttle list as I have never seen one. Perhaps kept at the Destination counter Does Oceania Cruises provide free shuttle service ? Free shuttle busses are offered when: The ship is docked a long walk from the main thoroughfare Taxis and or public transportation are not easily accessible from the port. . The port is industrial and not pedestrian-friendly. The decision on whether free buses will be offered will be based on the port used and will be made closer to or during the sailing Once on board, a list of ports that will offer a complimentary shuttle into town will be provided.

NO! there is one I can add... later) I think it would also be good to add the date the update was made such as : Alesund ..........................

You hopefully will get more replies if you start a new thread with this question. I suspect most folks don't notice when this sticky thread has been updated as it is always at the too if the list and so just look past it. When you do know about these ports it would be helpful if you would copy the list and add your updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare debsjc Posted November 16, 2017 #341 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Does anyone have information on Basseterre, St. Kitts Castries, St. Lucia please? I can't seem to find them in this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted November 16, 2017 #342 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Does anyone have information onBasseterre, St. Kitts Castries, St. Lucia please? I can't seem to find them in this topic I'd say that's because there is no shuttle needed there. At St Lucia you're right in the middle of town where Oceania docks. Pretty much the same for St Kitts except it has one of those insta towns at the dock full of Diamonds International, bars etc, then you can walk out of that and into town.

gaeltrav Posted December 10, 2017 #343 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just back from Middle East Cruise on Nautica In Valetta there was a free boat shuttle across the harbour as there were a lot of ships docked In Limassol there was a shuttle. No shuttle in Rhodes as you are docked downtown. In Haifa no shuttle on Sat but there was one on Sunday.In Sharm el Sheik there was a shuttle bus to a resort area and in Safaga,Egypt there was a shuttle downtown. There was a shuttle in Aqaba, Jordan as well. There is a shuttle to the Souk in Salalah, Oman and also in Muscat. And there is a shuttle from the port to the Dubai Mall in Dubai. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoHoHo Posted January 6, 2018 #347 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi - Does anyone know exactly where the shuttle drops you off in town in Livorno? Is it anywhere near the main train station? Thank you!The train is a ways from city centre.Take a taxi to the train or popular option is shuttle which goes to main square and from there can take a local bus to the train. Take note of where the shuttles pick up as might not be in same place as drop off but nearby. Check the Ports of Call board for most recent info and bus/train tips and advice on whatever is your destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted January 6, 2018 #348 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The train is a ways from city centre.Take a taxi to the train or popular option is shuttle which goes to main square and from there can take a local bus to the train. Take note of where the shuttles pick up as might not be in same place as drop off but nearby. Check the Ports of Call board for most recent info and bus/train tips and advice on whatever is your destination. The reason we took the bus is that the taxi drivers didn’t want to take us to the train station from the ship. They wanted the more expensive fares to Florence. When you get off the shuttle you buy a bus ticket at the tobacco stand across the street from the shuttle stop. Then you walk a block or so to where the bus picks up on the Main Street.
