Mrs f. Posted January 4, 2020 #528 Share Posted January 4, 2020 We were just in San Sebastian de la Gomera.....shuttle not needed. It's a 5 minute walk go the town. The CURRENTS says taxis are available at the pier....dont remember seeing any. Pretty little town. Will check my other CURRENTS for other islands. This was the only one we didn't take a private tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallydave Posted January 7, 2020 #531 Share Posted January 7, 2020 24 minutes ago, Mrs f. said: That is only to the terminal building as you posted. Assuming I've got my ports correctly the terminal building is less than 1/2 the way to the beginning of the town and only about a 5 minute walk from where we were docked so really no difference from no shuttle to town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted January 24, 2020 #533 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Just back from 2 cruises on Regatta in Australia late December to late August. Not sure if anyone has reported on these, but this is what we had for our cruises: Adelaide Aus - tram right at port that goes to center city ticket kiosk; no shuttle Akaroa, NZ tendered to center of town Albany, Aus - shuttle to town center Burnie, Taz, Aus - mandatory shuttle to Maker's Workshop in town; meet guides/taxis there. Same shuttle goes to shopping area and museum area Geraldton, Aus - shuttle Melbourne tram 109 is 5-10 minute walk from port, buy ticket at convenience store next to it, no shuttle Napier - shuttle to iSITE info center in town on Marine Parade Perth/Fremantle - don't think was shuttle, but not sure, as we walked to nearby ferry dock. Train station very close to dock. Phillip Island Aus-long tender ride in, then shuttle to beach/boardwalk area. Limited car hire, taxis, etc. day we were there Picton Aus - shuttle to iSITE tourist info center city takes 5 minutes but can walk easily in 10-15 if follow blue line on sidewalk Sydney - turnaround day, no shuttle or ferry available at White Bay. Taxis into town available. Tauranga/Rotorua NZ- disembarked here (early); not sure if shuttle offered Wellington NZ - shuttle to several places center city In general, shuttles ran fairly frequently, leaving soon after we were cleared by the authorities, and the last one was about an hour before the ship's departure time, which was generally a half hour after "back on board" time.

delee78 Posted February 29, 2020 #534 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just an update from my recent experience in South America. I did not see an Oceania shuttle in Rio. There was a shuttle in Rio Grande do Sol that took you into town and back. There was also a shuttle in Buenos Aires that took you to/from the Plaza Hotel.

roothy123 Posted September 9, 2020 #535 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I know nobody's cruising now, but I'm dreaming of next fall. Anybody know of shuttle availability in these Greek ports: Militini (Lesbos), Rhodes, Patmos, Mykonos, Agios Nikolaos (Crete)? Or these Turkish ports: Istanbul, Kusadasi (for Ephesus), Alanya, Antalya? Paphos, Cyprus? I know the Piraeus (for Athens) situation! Thanks.

gaeltrav Posted September 9, 2020 #536 Share Posted September 9, 2020 No shuttles neede in Rhodes,Patmos or Mykonos as you dock downtown.There was a shuttle in Crete Ephesus is quite a drive from Kusadasi and best done on a ship’s or private tour. In Alanya there are taxis which take you up the hill to the fort The price is per taxi so share. I don’t remember if there was a shuttle in Paphos as we took a tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cruise in these areas were a few years ago, on an O-class ship, but: Mitilini - This was a tender port to near the town centre. Agios Nikolaos - You don't need a shuttle if it docks right near the town centre. Kusadasi - No shuttle provided. You are docked pretty much in the town centre, but of course the main historical attractions (i.e., Ephesus) are about a half-hour's drive away. We booked a private tour for this port. Hoped to avoid the sales visits (specifically asked not to have these in the request) but ended up going to a leatherware and a carpet shop anyway on the way back - I was irritated but it wasn't so bad.

fun1367 Posted May 23, 2021 #538 Share Posted May 23, 2021 We’re thinking of venturing on a fall cruise traversing the Mediterranean. Seems like our covid infection is under control! Hopefully Europe will be open to tourists by then! And vaccinations are widespread! We’re keeping fingers and toes crossed!!! Will be taking our first Oceania cruise on Mariner. Any ideas where ‘O’ may provide shuttle to at: Zadar Siracusa Civitavecchia(close to train station?) Thank you for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted September 11, 2021 #544 Share Posted September 11, 2021 On 8/23/2019 at 9:54 AM, roothy123 said: Don't know for sure, but I've read elsewhere (think port's website) that Burnie is one port where you can't walk around. The city or port offers a shuttle to a place called "Maker's Workshop," which is a warehouse with some artists working and/or displaying their creations for sale, and I believe representatives from the tourist bureau. If you're taking an independent excursion (not a ship's excursion) you meet the rep there. I believe the port shuttle goes to a couple other places, like Burnie Regional Museum, but you should confirm that by visiting/emailing the port, or a Burnie tourist rep if one comes on board the ship that morning. The cruise line and the port set the times for the shuttle, so the port couldn't give me specific info for my cruise visit on Regatta in Dec or Jan. The above info is my understanding of shuttle information; I haven't actually visited Burnie yet! But hopefully it's a start! Just wanted to post that what I had read (as above) was correct for our Jan. 2020 visit to Burnie, Tasmania. The shuttle was useful, and the Maker's Workshop has nice Tazmanian things for sale, plus the shuttle does one drop at a shopping street, plus one drop near a nice water area. Also, if you go outside to the back of Maker's Workshop, you can see your ship a bit in the distance, and also walk along a boardwalk to see where (at certain times of year) penguins build homes in the grassy area.

In case anyone in the future wants to know about wo ports in the Canary Islands: According to the Oceania Currents paper, in Aug 2014 there was a free shuttle in Arrecife (island of Lanzarote) to "downtown (Calle Juan de Quesada)." It started 8:30 (half hour after arrival); last one 4:30 for 6p departure. I don't know how far that was, as we rented a car from right there at the dock. (CI car, great car/experience, great roads, went to Timanfaya National Park - a must do.) Rented from CI Car in Santa Cruz de la Palma, too, at port - great experience as well. Didn't keep more than one page from Currents, so don't know if there was a shuttle, just that we docked in Dique del Este. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently from the port there is a public bus that goes up to Taormina; a crew member was telling this to another cruise passenger. If you can find less expensive means to get up to Taormina, definitely do that - the town is compact and easy to tour on your own. A definite must see. I did that, but I can't remember any more than that. Might want to google. And then when in Taormina, there's a bus up farther, to Castelmola. That was a great place.

ShibaInuMom Posted March 28, 2022 #547 Share Posted March 28, 2022 We're going on our first Oceania cruise in May/June this year. Thanks for the list on page 19 and other port comments. However, I didn't find anything regarding San Sebastian, Spain. Does anyone know if we need a shuttle to get to town and if Oceania provides one? TYIA!
