Rare NorbertsNiece Posted April 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I thought I would repost here pictures from my blog of the terminal to help those whose ship has to unfortunately make a stop here. Visited on Solstice in March. Two long covered walkways to the terminal building There were numerous cabs (cars and 10 seater vans such as this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted April 1, 2016 Author #2 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) A 10 seater cost around $75AUD and dropped us off by the Wheel of Brisbane so we could walk to the Mirimar boat pontoon on this side of the river just on the other side of the Victoria Bridge. There was no public transport from the terminal at all. No Hoho there. Back to the terminal...... it's laid out in a very convulated way Doesn't seem far Took 8 minutes to get here Edited April 1, 2016 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted April 2, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Linda, Didn't Celebrity arrange for shuttle buses to the city? Did everyone have to get taxis? :eek: They did indeed arrange for shuttle buses at $20.75AUD pp return. $15.75AUD for children. They dropped off at the Treasury Casino near the Victoria Bridge. If there's a group to go into town it would be more economical to take a taxi for 10. The driver will be more than happy to arrange for the return trip. I know people tried to book a maxi taxi to meet them at the pier but this was not possible. Edited April 2, 2016 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks, Linda. I had this mental image of a couple of thousand passengers all fighting for taxis. :D We'll be there next Friday on Golden Princess, and I think Princess will arrange shuttle buses as well. We're just planning on heading into the city for coffee and a nice lunch somewhere. It certainly won't be as pleasant as when we docked at Portside last year. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbon Posted April 4, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2016 how very sad they charge for shuttle buses.. Azamara docks about 30 minutes away and the shuttle is FREE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted April 4, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It's standard for Celebrity to charge wherever they put shuttles on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted April 4, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 4, 2016 how very sad they charge for shuttle buses.. Azamara docks about 30 minutes away and the shuttle is FREE!! It's standard for Celebrity to charge wherever they put shuttles on. It all depends on whether or not they include it in the fare . Nothing is "free"...someone has paid for it.

Hello Linda, Voyager of the Seas will be also docked at the Fisherman Island Grain Terminal outside of Brisbane. Do you know how much the price is for a taxi to Treasury Casino and back? We want to grab a rental car at the near of the Casino (there are a lot of rental car stations) and drive to Surfer's Paradise. How long did the ride take? Thanks for helping!

I don't know the specifics about the ride to the Casino itself, sorry. We were dropped off across the bridge from there. Ride is about 40 minutes. I want to go right back now.....
