Public transportation to cruise ports General Discussion Forum

Hi,

 

I would like to let the cruising community know that I have developped a website which will give you public transportation directions to cruise ports: www.walktomycruiseship.com . I hope that you will find it useful.

Feel free to use the contact me using the form on the website ("contact me" on the home page) to make any suggestion.

Thanks,

Olivier Wagner

Thank you for your support,

I plan to add more cruise ports going forward. Regarding the ones you mentionned:

• Barcelona: I will update this page ; potentially with directions from the Airport, but also to mention the blue bus within the cruise port
• San Diego: This should be the very next port to be added to the website.
• Los Angeles: I already have directions to San Pedro's cruise port under "Long Beach (Los Angeles)" – although I would have to update it in order to specify that Carnival's cruise ships leave from a different place.
• Honolulu: Was not on my list (it is now – but at the bottom). I should get to it in a week or two.

Please note that my website has an inherent bias toward public transportation. I think that user can easily catch a taxi or book private shuttles by themselves. I  want to provide value by giving public transportation info to those who prefer this route – would it be due to save money, mingle with the locals along the way or for any other reason (ecological concern…).

In the case of San Diego, a bus line does a similar route (runs every 15 min and takes 15 min) to the one you did by taxi ; hence, I suggest the bus.

I only suggest the taxi when there is no viable public transportation (either no public transportation or one which would be clearly inconvenient). That is the case for Genoa: www.walktomycruiseship……/genoa.htm

 

Thank you

 

Hi,

 

I would like to update you to let you know that  I now have an Honolulu page up and running on my website: Honolulu cruise terminal

 

I am also rethinking the public transportation bias and I think that I will add basic taxi info (price & time required). Cruisers may easily be able to find a taxi on their own, but I am now thinking that providing these additional information would be useful to better evaluate the relative advantages/disadvatages of the public transportation options (and would therefore help them decide their method of transportation).

 

Thanks,
