The ferry doesn't go to Horseshoe Bay. We took the #7 bus, which lets you off at the top of the hill. There is a jitney that will take people back up the hill, and if you catch it already at the top, it will bring you down. It is $1pp each way. We didn't find the walk down that bad, but at the end of the day, when you are hot and tired, it was great to have a ride back up.

 

Get your bus/ferry passes at the terminal (if you have kids, don't get them on the ship, they don't sell kids passes, and they are 1/2 price). You can pick up the bus or ferry there. They also give you a map and a schedule, or you can ask the drivers. They are very friendly. The buses can get crowded, especially to and from the beach, but they aren't that bad, and the ride isn't that long. I think it took maybe 20 minutes to get from Horseshoe Bay back to the ship.

 

Have a great cruise!:D
