Open to shuttle companies, taxis, or any advice you can give. Thanks in advance! All of those services available to/from Sydney Airport, however, we always use the Airport Train which goes Circular Quay in about 18 minutes.. It is a short walk from station to the Overseas Passenger Terminal from where RCI sail.. https://www.airportlink.com.au/ Sue and Phil (currently in USA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this is our first trip to Australia and we are trying now to wing everything ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this is our first trip to Australia and we are trying now to wing everything ! Can buy paper ticket at the airport station.. :) If staying Sydney may be advantage in getting an OPAL CARD, which can be loaded with credit for all transport needs..

Aus Traveller Posted May 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2018 We always get a taxi. The cost would be around $50-$55. It is door to door and we don't have to handle luggage on the off the train, then down the street to the cruise terminal. It is a little bit dearer than paying for two people on the train, but not much in comparison with the total cost of the trip. Uber would be an excellent alternative.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2018 It very much depends on how much luggage you have. If you travel light then the train is the fastest way to get to Circular Quay, otherwise a taxi or Uber would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted May 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 19, 2018 There are 2 cruise terminals ,circular quay is the main one.smaller ships sometimes us white bay cruise terminal. Don't use airport shuttles they have a bad reputation in every way. Train,taxi and uber are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted May 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Train about $18 each, Taxi about $60. I don’t use Uber so can’t say. Train has about 200 metre walk from station to Dock So comes down to do you want to drag luggage on and off train and how many of you there are.

JohnGc Posted May 19, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 19, 2018 We used the train last time,we like being independent, trains are very regular. No problem with the flat walk to the cruise terminal if you have the 4 wheel suitcases. By the way the wife & I are old age pensioners in our late 70s.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted May 19, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Agreed, train is pretty straightforward for OPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
