swimsimcoe Posted December 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Noordam to Ruby Princess I told my friend that somewhere out there one person knows the answer to all questions on the board.I'm looking for that person now. Will be going from the Noordam to the Ruby Princess in March and wanted to know if anyone actually does know where both ships dock-can you walk from one to the other? Last year went from the Westerdam to the Miracle and was just through the parking garage.Easy.Hoping for the same again. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted December 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2008 About a mile or 2 between docks. :) No walking, too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJ Posted December 22, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Don't think the taxi driver will mind too much. He'll get a decent fare for a short run across the port, and can go back again for someone else. If you aren't doing a tour or something, I think you will be sitting around for a few hours before getting on the Ruby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimsimcoe Posted December 22, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted December 22, 2008 That's really funny! I know we'll be early but better than a taxi ride from Miami-which we have also done.We'll have to be really nice and tip him well. We'll meander off the ship when they say "GET THE H-LL OFF THE SHIP" and then look for the cutest taxi driver with the bluest eyes and then just beg.Piece of cake.

caribbeanboy Posted December 22, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Maybe you can look for a fellow CC member who lives in FL. and ask them for the 5 minutes ride to another pier;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coo359a2 Posted December 22, 2008 #9 Share Posted December 22, 2008 In November we went from the Royal Princess (think it was around Dock 20) to the Ruby Princess at Dock 2. At that time the Taxis were charging $10 as long as they did not leave the port area. There were 4 of us so we needed a Taxi van and we paid $10 per couple.

It was a $10 charge and the driver was very pleasant. Enjoy your cruises. Evelyn & Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCSSDRC Posted December 22, 2008 #11 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Jeez,won't we make some taxi driver happy! No, but they are required by law to take you where you want to go if they want to keep there taxi license. It is just the luck (or bad luck) of the draw.

grammy c Posted December 27, 2008 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We left the Emerald to fly home 12/20. ONLY got out of FFL on time because the shuttle to the airport(prebooked) spotted US and we did NOT have to get a cab. Previously, we had done the jump ship routine, and only(after cc advise), gotten a cab, delayed the destination AND tipped nicely did we get to the next ship. BE careful, it CAN be tricky. Cab Strike that week for us, but there are always issues with the cab drivers, which we agree with totally, BUT, getting from point A to point B in FFL is a curse! Nine ships in on THAT Sat. morn.! Go Figure! It's a cruise town, you can think smart, plan ahead, or stand in line FOREVER! Good luck!Happy Cruising, wish it was my turn, again!
