A helpful guide for getting transfers before and after cruise holidays
When you book a holiday with us here at Cruise Nation, you’ll find that we don’t include transfers as part of the package. The reason for this is we try to book the best possible hotels that are closest to the cruise port so that you can reach them in a short taxi ride from the airport or cruise terminal. By giving you the opportunity to travel by taxi, we’re able to pass on savings to you that wouldn’t be possible if we were to organise transfers on your behalf.
We understand that booking transfers and using public transport can be a little confusing when you’re in a new country for the first time, so to help with planning your transfers we’ve compiled our best advice and tips below.
THING TO CONSIDER
When planning your transfers, we’d suggest thinking about some of these points:
- What time are you due to arrive at your destination? If it’s the early hours of the morning or late at night we’d recommend checking if taxis are frequent during these times.
- If you’re travelling with young children, it’s likely you’ll want your transfer to be as easy as possible so choosing a taxi over public transport is a good idea.
- How much luggage are you bringing? If it’s difficult for you to manoeuvre it, we’d recommend opting for a taxi rather than a bus.
- Are you travelling with someone in a wheelchair or on crutches? If so you may need to book a taxi in advance which can accommodate a wheelchair.
- If you’re getting a transfer from a hotel to your cruise ship, make sure you allow extra time to get there and to board. You never know when traffic jams and other delays can occur and the last thing you want is for your cruise ship to leave without you.
- If you are planning to get a taxi or use public transport, ensure you have enough cash with you in the local currency to cover the cost of the journey.
