Hi , hope somebody can help , do you have to pre book the toboggan ride or just turn up and pay on the day , do they accept other passengers when there are cruise ships in or are all the tickets sold to the ships

Osaka is my home away from home and I have just clocked up my 20th trip from Australia. The one day pass will be for the Osaka subway and not include the train to Kyoto. The difference in prices is for the difference in trains eg. bullet train (Shinkansen), local train, express train.
I have to say you might be cutting it short if your ship docks at 7am and you have to meet at 9am at Kyoto station. I only say this as Kyoto station is quite big (make sure you have clear instructions where to meet) and you want to hope that the disembarkation is on time and quick.
It is about a 10 minute walk from where the ship docks to where the subway station is. It is easy to find, especially if you have a look on google maps first. The quickest route would be taking the Shinkansen but will also need changes of several trains as mentioned above. This is also the most expensive means to get there. You will also need to factor in the purchasing of the tickets for time.
If you want a cheaper way, using the JR rapid service will take a similar amount of time.
Using the trains is quite easy and ticket counters/machines are all in English as well. I would be tempted to take the cheaper option if I was you. Will cut down on how many changes. As I said, make sure you are clear where you need to meet in Kyoto station.
I don't use a Suica card, I just buy the tickets from the machines as I need them.
Hope that helps 🙂 Enjoy Japan, it is amazing!
Hi sutt35 Where did you get these times and trains from please , need to find the earlier ones

Hi , have read on FB that train tickets from Osaka to Kyoto have to be booked in advance and reserved and it is not possible to buy them at the station , has anybody been recently to know either way please or does anybody know the website to book them , ninjarail has a really bad review score so don't want to use them , thanks

Went on a turtle snorkel tour a few years ago with a local lad and his wife brought a home cooked lunch down to the beach for us to eat on board , trying to find his details to book with him again and cant seem to find him , something in the back of my mind thinks his name may have been Jason but not sure , any help would be much appreciated

We used Spain day tours for a trip to Seville from Cadiz , very similarly priced to the ships option of Seville on your own where you are just dropped off and DIY , but with the tour you get all the information about each monument , transport , time for lunch and shopping , toilet stops on the way , I would recommend this company and plan to use them again when we can

Dreadful , allowing tourists to handle the poor turtles with no supervision , exploiting wildlife for money , we went a few years ago with our young daughters and were appalled , wont be going again

Hi
From past experience we have always used USD in mexican ports but I am sure I have read somewhere that they are now asking for pesos , has anybody had any recent experiences ? Cabo and Huatulco specifically please
-
I'm pretty sure the only company that runs the camel operation is Cabo Adventures, which is linked in with the cruise lines. You can book through other people but it will still be Cabo Adventures, there is only one camel operation.
Petlady, have you told the outside vendors that you are on P & O and that it is not offered?
Yes I have and their response was to ask the excursion manager on the ship to inculude it , don't think it is going to be that easy somehow , wrote to P&O who told me the same thing
-
I have been looking for a tour company as P&O do not offer this excursion but all the companies I have contacted or looked at do not offer this tour to cruise passengers !!:mad:

Hi can anybody recommend a good snorkelling beach close to the port , hoping to have a wander around town in the morning and a few hours snorkelling after lunch , we don't want to be paying a lot for a taxi , any help much appreciated

Hi
The last few times we have been to Mexico we have used USD but have read somewhere that they prefer pesos and that maybe the rules have changed and we have to use pesos , any thoughts please ?
