Aus Traveller Posted August 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If the Sea Princess docks at Portside, you can catch a ferry (CityCat) to the CBD and other places. It would be cheaper and more scenic than a bus. We don't know what date you will be in Brisbane. Sea Princess docks at Portside if a P&O ships isn't there. You can check on the Brisbane Ports website to see where the Sea P will be docked when you will be on her. Last time we used the CityCat service we were able to buy a ticket on board. I am not sure if this is still available. Someone else will know about this than I do. I you do go with this option, and if you are a senior citizen, bring your senior citizen card or some ID with you. You may be able to access the concession fare for seniors.

(I posted on the Princess section and got no Replies so trying here.) I think Sea Princess is small enough to dock up river at Portside. If so there is public transport and no shortage of taxis for the the short trip in to the CBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane.in.ny Posted August 22, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted August 22, 2018 According to everything I've found, she'll be docking at the FI terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted August 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2018 According to everything I've found, she'll be docking at the FI terminal. What date will you be in Brisbane on the Sea Princess? If the ship docks at the Fishermans Island terminal, I suggest you either take the shuttle for $20 or if you have a group of four or five people, you could get a taxi. The terminal is a long way from the CBD so you would need a sizeable group to make a taxi an economic option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2018 We tried an Uber once but they tend to give up as it can be difficult to find the terminal. It may be different now as it was a few years ago. There were ample Taxis available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diane.in.ny Posted August 22, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Just confirming I understood this as $20 RT but just wanted to make sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relaxing Robbies Posted August 22, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 22, 2018 In May 2017 the price for the shuttle bus into town from Fishermans Island was $25 return. I have checked the port schedule and that is the port that will be used by Sea Princess on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It varies from line to line but one good thing is it should be in AUD for Princess as opposed to USD for Royal or X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosee Posted August 23, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 23, 2018 We will also be on Sea Princess at Fisherman's Island wharf in late October. Am also interested in the shuttle.......where does it take you to in the city and can you get off along the way, like at the Maritime Museum? Does anyone know if the shuttle's route passes near to the M. Museum, otherwise we will need a taxi, I guess. Thanks for any help here, Rosee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help here, Rosee I met a passenger off the shuttle at Anzac Square in Ann Street, Brisbane. There was a small tent with tourist people offering maps and assistance. The bus returned to the wharf from the same place. We walked along Ann Street to the beautiful Roma Street Parklands, then across the bridge to Southbank (Museums and Art Gallery, etc). Returned to the pick up point by ferry to Eagle Street, then walked back to Ann Street. The Maritime Museum is at Southbank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn2003 Posted August 24, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Once you are in the CBD there are 3 free bus services running Mon-Fri only. Look for the red stops. Bus route 40 travels clockwise https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/timetables/bus/t/40 Bus route 50 travels anti-clockwise https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/timetables/bus/t/50 Bus route 30 is the Springhill loop https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/timetables/bus/t/30 A pdf can be downloaded https://translink.com.au/sites/default/files/assets/timetables/170109-40,50.pdf There is no tourist commentary or anything.

SinbadThePorter Posted August 24, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Just a reminder that the Brisbane CBD is not the only destination available from the Grain Terminal. It's a short taxi ride from there to Manly, where you can catch the ferry to St Helena Island. http://www.sthelenaisland.com.au/ If you go a bit further to Cleveland, there is a 20 min ferry ride to North Stradbroke Island, a large sand island very similar to Fraser Island. From there a connecting 25 min bus ride takes you across the island to Point Lookout which has very scenic walks, beautiful beaches, and whale watching. There were some whales there last week, but I can't promise any in late October, although it's still barely in season. https://www.stradbrokeferries.com.au/ I know it's not what you were asking about, but I sometimes get the feeling that the Brisbane CBD is a bit of a tourist letdown.

Beanb41 Posted August 24, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 24, 2018 When we were at the grain terminal on the Solstice which uses $US they were charging $US20 return on the shuttle, so around $A25 would seem about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been into town before and around Southbank, but it is quite a walk from there to the Maritime Museum as I remember it. :):):):)Rosee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silky*** Posted October 12, 2019 #21 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi Diana, Our upcoming Princess cruise will dock at Grain Terminal. Could you pls. advise on how much did Princess charge your for the return shuttle & where did they drop you off? Many thanks, Silky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanb41 Posted October 12, 2019 #22 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I can only comment on what Celebrity charged so the costs would I anticipate be similar. They last charged $US20 return which is approx. $30 Australian. The drop off was in the middle of the city behind the large carpark. It will give you an indicative cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
