    There isn't a shuttle as there is a direct subway line from the airport to Waterfront Station (3 blocks from the cruise terminal).

    Trains run every 6 minutes, it takes about 25 mins end to end.  Exiting international arrivals, cross the street to the parkade, take the elevator to the top level where the station is.  Cost is C$9.25/ea and if your credit card has tap (wireless icon on your card), or you have Apple/Android/Samsung Pay, you can just tap that to get through the fare gates.

     

     

     

    Thanks the directions are especially helpful

    Yes, and yes. Since you said 'we' that means there are at least two of you - so a shuttle is more expensive than a cab (which are fixed rate, $36 to the pier - less to almost all downtown hotels as the bulk of downtown is in the $32 zone).

     

    Edit - I'm guessing whatever source came up on your googling Husky was at least a year out of date. Taxi zone fares get reassessed every couple of years, and went from $35 to $36 last time around.

     

    Second edit - I'm guessing that you were hoping to save money with a shuttle. The cheapest way to downtown is SkyTrain at $8 or $9.25pp, depending on day and time. It's clean, safe, faster than a cab and pretty frequent, with only ~300 yards walk on the other end from WaterFront station. If it's an RT cruise, coming back is even cheaper as the $5pp fee only applies when leaving the airport, not returning - so price would be $3 or $4.25pp

    Thanks for all the info

    We will be joining you.  We booked the cruise over the weekend.  We cancelled a B2B on the Breeze for next year and moved the money we had paid on those 2 cruises over to this cruise.  Those 2 cruises couldn't come close to being as good as this one is. 

    This Cruise does look amazing. Even my TA said she was going to look into it for her family because the itinerary is so great.

    There is a roll call for the cruise. Hope to see you on there.

    That is correct.  None of the cruises start or end in Athens.  But they are a few that make stops in Greek ports. We are looking at the Legend on October 4, 2021.  It stops in Mykonos, Santorini, Athens, Katakolon, and Corfu, which are all in Greece.

    We just booked this Cruise. Will you be joining us?

    Raise.com has them. They are the AARP type. Do not use. They are not usable with travel agents or casino rates among many other restrictions. They are a PITA to redeem. We learned the hard way!

    Can you expand on what you mean that they are a PITA to redeem?

    We are looking at this Cruise as well. Was hoping to do it during this deposit sale but the deposit is still $400.

  7. We are trying to decide between these two cruises for our first, and likely only, Mediterranean Cruise. NCL is costs more but the ship/ports may be worth it?
