Karynanne Posted January 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Do you of you have the actual name of the port that the cruise ship use in Papeete? We have a Circle Island tour booked, and our driver emailed me, requesting the name of the port. Apparently there are two ports that can be used. Thank you in advance, Karyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikesgirl Posted January 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Everything I've looked up says Port of Papeete. The TP used to dock right beside the ferries and the PG docked right beside the TP, although closer to shore. They were constructing a new pier that was more south when we were there in 04'. Perhaps Meherio can be of more help - sorry Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted January 11, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I can't imagine a tour operator not knowing the location of the cruise port. If he knows whether it's the PG or the TP, it should be obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karynanne Posted January 11, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The inquiry our tour guide asked was, " Is it Cooks Bay or Opunoau Bay?" Anyone know? Thanks, Karyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cheznandy Posted January 11, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The inquiry our tour guide asked was, " Is it Cooks Bay or Opunoau Bay?" Anyone know? Thanks, Karyn Karyn, arn't both those bays on Moorea? Lonely planet guide says all cruise ships moor at the Quai d'Honneur in Papeete, hope this helps, we have a private guide booked and he is meeting us at the wharf, he didnt ask which one, and on Moorea he is meeting us at Cooks Bay at the Kaveka hotel.

laurieb Posted January 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2008 those are on Moorea. the Tahitian Princess anchors at both, you may have to call Princess to find out which one when you are there. if that doesn't work, I would think that your tour guide could figure it out.

Karynanne Posted January 12, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thank you all for your reply. Our tour guide emailed back, and it's all set now. I'm assuming that Mercury/Celebrity uses the same dock that Princess uses. Karyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted January 13, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Ah, so it's Papeete for sure, not Moorea. It's certainly more complex in Moorea, since sometimes the ships themselves don't know which bay they will anchor in--sometimes it depends on weather. And I agree that if it were Moorea, your guide could figure it out--the local tour operators always do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin123185 Posted January 13, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Never seen a cruise port other than the main one. Since you always get to the port an hour or 2 before you can get off - the driver would surely see where you are ! I can't beleive a local driver would email for such info. I think the port is called finger something - that's what I remember about my last Princess Patter the other day. Have fun ! Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
