lexdisic Posted September 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hi, We are booked on this cruise in November. Does anyone know how far the ports are away from the destination. for example Dubai, Muscat , Bahrain ,Are they a way out and long journeys to anywhere, Cant seem to get any information. Thanks in advance Muscat - port bus to gates where taxi's congregate ( rip off prices so walk towards town and hail one) then 10 min walk to souk etc. Dubai - port is about 2 miles to gates - not allowed to walk - taxi's outside terminal bldg but charge 2-3 times as much to get from there compared to going back. Don't know if Marella have buses that usually go to nearest Mall but will be limited in number as taxi's have stranglehold so expect long delays for bus if there is one. Once outside taxi fare very reasonable or get metro card for 24hrs unlimited travel for about £4-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexdisic Posted September 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2018 We will be in Abu Dhabi 2 days after the F1 Grand Prix on the previous Sunday. As we are in the area and it is the last GP of the season, is there any chance it will be televised on board ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexdisic Posted October 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2018 A couple of points about our stop in Muscat from the roll call thread :- https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?p=57169265#post57169265 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted October 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Taxis in Dubai charge a 20 dirham surcharge to leave FROM both the cruise terminal and the airport. There is no surcharge to travel TO either. Port info on where you dock, currency, what to do, see etc can be found here on cruise critic in the RESEARCH section. Top of the page. Use the drop down to find Destinations. Also on many other cruising websites eg whatsinport which we find very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
