Have anyone been in these cabin? Are they noise? We are afraid that we may feel the engine move below.

Hi,

 

Dublin port is an industrial area and there is no public transport to the city centre. You can either take the shuttle bus which most cruise companies seem to organise or else a taxi. Dublin has a glut of taxis and there will be plenty of them looking for business at the cruise terminal, so there will be no queuing.The journey time to the city centre is approximately ten minutes and a taxi should cost around €10-12.

 

If you insist on walking, then it would take you about an hour to get to O'Connell Bridge. You will be walking through an unattractive, industrial area with articulated vehicles speeding to and from the port as your only company.

We need to go to the City Hall to join a walking tour. Our ship, Infinity will dock at 7:30 and the tour starts at 11:00 am. We have plenty of time,so, we wonder can we walk from the port to the city hall? if not, is any public transportation available?

Thanks.

Thank Twickenham, Thank John Bull, Thank Ashland, thank Cotswold Eagle for all your help. It certainly make our trip from airport to the hotel must easier. We always try to use the public transportation first everywhere we travel. Besides to save money, we consider it is an adventure.

One more question please should we buy the Oyster card for the trip?

Thanks again.

The underground would be the way for you to go. From LHR, it will require a change somewhere; your hotel is actually between 2 stations, but I would probably choose to go to Liverpool St., so that you can familiarize yourself with the walk from the hotel and so you have somewhere to kill time if you're early. From the tube map, the mody obvious change options are:

 

-Holborn for the Central line;

-King's Cross-St. Pancras for the Circle/Metropolitan/Hammersmith & City lines;

-South Kensington for the Circle line;

-Hammersmith for the Circle line.

 

I'm sure one of the London posters can advise on which of these connections is the easiest/most convenient.

Thanks.

Let me try to understand your suggestion:

from the airport we take Central line to Holborn. Get off at King's Cross. Either take Circle line to St.Pancras or City line to Metropolitan

or Hammersmith. Get off at South Kensington .......This is the part I am confused, do I get off at South Kensington or do I take the circle line that go to South Kensington, and Liverpool Station is one of the stop at the route?

Thank you, I didn't know about this one. As you say, very basic and no frills, but a bargain - currently an advance rate of £38 for the OP's Sunday night stay!

I need your help to map out a route to get to the hotel from the airport.

We arrive at LHR on May 10 at 7:00 AM. we know we can hire a private car or take the express, but we want to do the cheapest way and take the public transportation. We don't have much luggage and we are used to walk. And we could not check in the hotel until noon. So we have time.

Thank you.

We are flying into Heathrow Aug.18 and know we need to get transportation from airport to hotel. We are staying one night and hoping to take train to harwich next morning and need to stay near liverpool street because of luggage. Trying to do this as cheap as possible. Any information will be appreciated!
