Rare L1211 Posted March 13 Author #326 Share Posted March 13 Pro tip! Uber in PV- only $7 go go to romantica zone. Was $40 at the port! The app asked if I wanted to add 10 pesos I added $100 - he was lovely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare L1211 Posted March 13 Author #328 Share Posted March 13 Turns out the pier is on the same street as the day spa. 2 minute walk. You can hire boats here or find beach restaurants in either direction. Gorgeous! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare L1211 Posted March 13 Author #332 Share Posted March 13 So I’m confused - we walked out front of the ship and walked a very short way out of the port and crossed the street to Liverpool mall and picked up Uber. Return, Uber dropped as at a port that required a shuttle to get to the ship??? Is that normal here? Did we return to the wrong place?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In November we walked through the mall out to the street to catch the public bus. We took a taxi back which dropped us near the picture you showed above at the port entrance…then walked back through the mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted March 13 Author #335 Share Posted March 13 The girls cannot stop raving about the Metamorfosis Day Spa in Old Town. 10/10 - best massage ever they say. It was lovely inside, nice facilities. San atmosphere and a fraction of on-ship prices! About $70 USD all in for 90 minute massage. It has a 4.9 rating in Yelp and got great marks down the departure port boards! Highly recommend 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While much further away, the trolley took us right to where’d we enter the ship. DH had a barking knee so it was perfect! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare L1211 Posted March 13 Author #343 Share Posted March 13 What a great port! We really enjoyed our walk around old town, the pier and lunch. Highly recommend taking Uber (~$9) versus a taxi from the port. It’s about 25 minutes. Old town is beautiful- hills, sea views everywhere, and these gorgeous cobblestone streets. Here are a few sights- great day! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, saw the same KFC and tried yo get a pic for @cruiseny4life. Lol. I introduced a hotel brand in Shanghai in 2008. The difference between Pudong and Puxi sides of the Bund were staggering. The ex-pats living there told me about while Puxi had the most incredible architecture…the banks were still pen and paper 🤷♀️. My visit was def eye-opening.
