Santos (Sao Paulo) to Lisbon March 2009

[Mikey2611]

I am booked on the above transatlantic cruise and am seeking to chat with others who may be taking (or have taken) a similar cruise.

Specifically:

I am flying into Sao Paulo 2 days prior to the Cruise on March 28th ( Cruise leaves on Match 30th). and staying in Sao Paulo at the Staybridge Suites Hotel. Does anyone know this Hotel or have any comments about staying in Sao Paulo.

 

How do you get from Sao Paulo on the morning of the Cruise to Santos where the ship is docked? I gather that its about a 2 hour trip. Anyone want to share a taxi/bus etc from Sao Paulo to Santos Cruise Terminal.

 

Does Royal Caribbean have a transfer from Sao Paulo to Santos? How much?

 

Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is a active roll call for the Splendour March 30/09 transatlantic. I know for our last three cruises we got this type of information, arranged private transfers and excursions from our roll call. Go to

Please try to stay in Lisbon for a few days afterwards as well. It's a great city, not to be missed!
