PSR Posted August 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We are going on a HAL cruise that stops in this port. We have been there before, but every time we have gone on a shorex, so I have a question about access to the city from the port. If you do not go on a tour, is there access to taxis or a shuttle bus or rental cars to take to the downtown? I know the port is industrial, so not much around for tourist access to anything like most normal ports. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted August 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Yes, you have to take the complimentary shuttle bus out of the port area. It takes you to the downtown area where there is the visitor center and the convention center. You will meet the shuttle again at the drop off point when you are ready to return to the ship.

Rare tupper10 Posted August 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2023 @PSR you should join the roll call for this cruise. There is an organized meet and greet. Looking forward to this cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how often the shuttle runs? If your ship is there overnight, any idea what the timing restrictions are in the AM for leaving and PM for returning to the port?

We will have an overnight when we sail on our 28 day Alaska cruise in 2024. We’ll find out then! I wouldn’t be surprised if the ship has a curfew since the port is a working port, although the port could be open 24 hours due to the long daylight hours in June. Good question! The shuttles should run continuously throughout the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
