Thank you Chauffeurboy. That is what we are planning to do. We are thinking of staying overnight in Bangkok since the distance to and from the port is significant. Any hotel recommendations and must do for Bangkok?

Celebrity does offer a transfer into Bangkok. This is a good option if you are choosing to do a self directed tour. You may wish to look out for various tours organized by fellow passengers with the local tour operators. Local tour operators will offer fully guided tours, the only requirement is that you book your hotel accomodations. However they will be happy to reccomend hotels that are convenient to the tour you wish to take.

Thank you BuzzMuzz for the information. It is very helpful.

Happy Sailing,

Celebrity probably does offer this. Most everyone on that voyage will want to go to Bangkok.

 

But if they do not - no problem.

 

In the cruise terminal there is a large desk located next to (left side) the main exit door.

At that desk are several staff who speak English.

Their only job is selling transfer tickets; one way and round trip, to Bangkok and other local attractions.

You can choose from buses, mini-buses, taxis, and private cars.

The rates for all tickets are posted on a large signboard in front of the desk.

The rates are fixed, and non-negotiable. They are quite reasonable.

After buying your tickets, you need to walk for about 30 seconds to reach the boarding location, just outside the main exit.

If you have any questions, ask a crewmember. They all visit this desk to go out after finishing work.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if Celebrity cruises offers transportation from the port to the city of Bangkok. I know they do not offer a shuttle but was wondering if they offered a two-way ride from the port to the city? We are wondering if it is worth simply staying overnight at a hotel.

Any info would be appreciated.

Happy Travels...:D

Hello fellow travelers,

I will be flying for the first time with Emirates from JFK to Johannensburg and was wondering what experiences people have had. Our flight leaves at 11 PM and arrives in Dubai where we will have a five hour layover before getting on the next flight to Johannesburg. We are not looking to two back-to-back overnight flights but are excited about the trip. How are the service and seats? Is the airport in Dubai interesting enough to entertain us for four hours?

Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences,

Melissa

Happy Traveling!!!:)

Hi Sue,

Thank you so much for replying to my post. What are some of the places you visited in A.D.? Did you do the Ferrari World tour or did you go to the actual park? Did you visit the aquarium? Any MUST DO that you would recommend? We only have a day in Dubai as well which is why we thought we could do the Big Bus Tour. Is there enough time to take the night tour bus in Dubai when we get back from A.D.? Sorry for all the questions but our time is so limited that we want to make sure we have a plan before hand. We are doing a South Africa and Dubai Tour and Dubai is our last stop before heading back home.

By the way, did you happen to fly Emirates? We hear that it is a good airline.

Thank you so much Sue for sharing all your experiences and hints.

Have a great weekend,

Melissa

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how much a taxi from Dubai to Abu Dhabi costs? We are thinking of doing the Super Deal Big Red Bus Hop On and Off tours that include both cities. We are not sure if the transportation between the two cities are included. Has anyone taken this tour? Any tips or must -do ideas from Abu Dhabi and or Dubai.:

Looking forward to hearing some ideas.

My family and I are sailling on the November 6th sailing from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale on the Celebrity Constellation. This is the first West Bound Transatlantic Cruise we are taking and am wondering about what to pack. Does any one know what the temperature will be like Spain and in the Canary Islands? What is the temperature and weather while crossing the Atlantic. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
