According to Pullmantur Madrid - their winter season shuttle bus transfers - Colon to Panama City/PTY commence on Oct 8th - as in the day we arrive - and they will be offered for booking onboard a day or so before arrival. hope this helps

Good news. Did you post to the other thread?

Hi

Which other forum?

Please let me know.

Also had a reply from someone else at Pullmantur who also said the transfer bus is not available until October until the start of regular weekly cruises. However their tours from the ship to Panama (6-7 hours) start at just $39 which is much less than the $90 you need to pay for a private transfer with one of the reputable companies offering the service or pay upwards of $120 on the day for a taxi. Plus Pullmantur offered me 20% off the Panama tour price. Oh I was booked on to a weekly cruise in November and they had no trouble adding on the bus transfer then (same person) so doubt they were pulling a fast one. Thanks

I took the tour last Sept, and then a taxi to my hotel from the drop off point. The other forum is a roll call for this sailing.

Hi everyone - there is another forum on this cruise so its going to get messy and confusing with information being posted on one and not on the other - might be nice if everyone was on the same page (literally)

 

I will speak to Pullmantur HO in Spain and find out about the transfers issue - sounds very fishy to me - more like she is trying to sell you an nice expensive excursion

I just booked this cruise, I took the Lisbon -> Colon last Sept on this ship, and a group of friends and I took the May 9 Limon -> Lisbon cruise this year.

I would share transfer to Panama City.

Anybody going

I booked from Sept 19th Lisbon -> Colon.

I am excited as I think this will be a great opportunity to practice my Spanish. I am a Canadian, who lives in Mexico most of the time. My Spanish is weak as most people I know speak English, including my Mexican friends. Should be interesting.

I am really interested in meeting people. I had three friends who started out with plans to go on this great, bargain of a trip.... but they found the airfair to expensive. Its great, both directions, from Cancun!
