Thanks but no thanks.  FYI, I am now following the more specific thread.

Glad I found this.  We cruise (Princess) from Monday Feb 19, 2024.  Looking forward to any post cruise comments here.  For the leg from Santiago to San Antonio, I am looking at the taking Pullman bus, simply because there is *English* on their website.  Wondering if we could buy tickets online.  Or where to board the bus in Santiago.    Thanks in advance.

2022 Annual Report is available now.  Found on page 189, the benefit is now applicable on sailings through July 31, 2024
 

Still an open question ? ... Let me post what I did perhaps to help others still waiting for an answer.

Our cruise ship (Crown Princess) docked at Livorno at 7am and it was Thursday. IMO, walking off the dock area would not be sensible. However, there is shuttle (5 euro round trip) provided by port livorno to city center. If taking train to Florence, then one can take a city bus at the city center to reach the Livorno train station. However, there is a 9:45 am bus provided by TuscanyBus.com to Florence (30 euro round trip) at almost the same spot the port shuttle drop off. I took the bus to Florence instead. Turned out all passengers that day were from the cruiseships, so on the return, they dropped us back directly at ship side. We have about 4.5 hr at Florence that day.
