Timetable for ports

[zebs]

Hello

Is there a website that shows how many cruise ships will be in each port on the same day as your ship, so then you will see how busy it will be for bus/taxi services

Thankyou

Cruisett is currently so wrong it is pathetic. One cruise I checked on had my ship sailing from Barcelona instead of Miami. Another had one of the two ports wrong.

Cruisetimetables is very good, especially in Europe. Cruisecal is another, if you use the Itinerary Lookup from the menu bar. Otherwise, it is a pay site.

The sites mentioned all have their pluses and minuses. None of them have ever been very accurate, as almost all exclude the luxury lines and smaller ships. To get a true picture you need to go to the port site of each port on your itinerary and check there.

 

The mentioned sites only rarely update their listings after they post them, and unfortunately the ships in port change pretty often.

Your best bet is to find the site for each port on your itinerary and then check the date your ship will be in that port. You might have to fish around a bit, but if you try something like "St. Maarten cruise port" for St.Maarten - and comparable stabs for each other port, a few minutes should give you a goo idea.

Here's one site:

Remember, no one site is 100% accurate.

This is the right answer. If you really need to know how many ships are in a given port on a given day, check the website for the port/harbor. The rest of sites/source can be from moderately to seriously inaccurate.

 

Of course, it is rarely critical to know this info. With 18 cruises, over 220 days on ships, and possibly 60 or so different ports, the number of ships on port has affected us maybe 3 times, tops.

This and other sites are good showing cruise ships that are ones that many sail particularly North America but if you are saying outside North America they don't list many or even any of the lines sailed mostly by others outside North America. You can have situations as we have where there are four ships in port and only one listed. Also try to google the ports you are visiting to see if you can pull up their own schedule which is the most accurate.

After you determine what ships will be in port with you -- write their names.

Then go to this site which will give you the approximately number of people on each ship:

Following up, we were in Santorini once. Three ships were listed. I counted twelve different ships plus the ferries that appeared that day.

 

I'm not sure why people worry about how many ships are in a given port on a particular day. If the ports couldn't accommodate the number of passengers it would not allow the ships to stop.

The ports can accommodate the ships, but the facilities ashore can range from uncrowded to overwhelmed. At St. Maarten, for example, if you are interested in renting a car, and it happens to be a six ship day - with a couple of 4,000+ passenger behemoths involved, you really need to have a firm reservation - and even then get off the ship early; if your plans involve the airport at Maho, getting back to the port in the afternoon will be a lot more challenging than on a two ship day.
