Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hi Taxis and bus pass at the entrance of the beach ,the taxi stand is 10 min walk. There are 3 beaches there with beach bars they will call a taxi for you also. Roger b
  2. Try this beach only 20 mins from port in Palma 20eu in a taxi.
  3. Hi, Yes Ho Ho bus does stop as the main cruise terminal, but if your ships quay is at the far western dock you will be better off picking it up in town as it is a long walk to the pick up point https://city-sightseeing.com/en/25/palma-de-mallorca?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=city&utm_content=Plm_Mllrc_gmb&utm_campaign=QR-CS_Mllrca&utm_term=csaffiliation See routes Roger b
  4. Hi , I used to dive every week and have explored the snorkeling spots closest to the cruise terminal. We're I live in Illetas which a 10 minute taxi ride from the port. There is a rocky shoreline and small island about 200 yards from the beach. You will see lots of fish , rays ,octopus, sea bream and on the far side of the island large bolders and ravines to a depth of 35 ft . Rogerb
  5. Hi , You should have no problem a taxi will take about 30 minutes from the port,about 35/40 eu Or you could take the bus (No 1) starts from in front of the main cruise terminal will take around 1 hour . ,but it will require a change to (No 31). You should have no problem getting a taxi back to the port. It is only a short walk to the beach. https://tickets.palmaaquarium.com/es/schedule/ Roger b
  6. Hi, If your ship docks at the quay nearest to the. Passio Maritimo the stop is just outside the terminal, the bus is wheelchair friendly. If the ship docks at the farthest quay you can get a taxi into the city about 10/12 eu. The streets are not cobble stones and if you pick your route generally flat. https://www.hop-on-hop-off-bus-tours.com/tour-city-sightseeing-palma-de-mallorca-hop-on-hop-off-bus-tour?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAibeuBhAAEiwAiXBoJHP84mVruRpK1rxSUmQd6xcTlmCnR1diQtoiFVwp7lrM4g3ZbpLQWxoCbdsQAvD_BwE Roger b
  7. Yes you are right with your observations, Personally I would not venture in sea until May ,living on the beach I see kids run in and out of the sea and can't understand why they don't feel the cold ,early April we usually get a week of rain so this might put a dampener on a beach day !!

  8. You could rent a small car for around 38 eu for the day from : https://www.arashrentacar.com/2/disponibilidad/2/17-06-2024/2/1/18-06-2024/2/1/ They will leave by the ship and you return it there !! Hassel free
  9. Hi , The sea temperatures are changing due climate change yesterday the sea temperature was 60 degrees and it was 70 in the sun with lots of people swimming,so a day at the beach should be O.K. Roger b
  10. Hi , Everything will be open by April , Portixol beach is quite open and not pretty there is only one beach club ,l have been there but would not rush back as it can be quite windy there, personally I would go for a beach club in Illetas . https://balnearioilletas.com/invierno-balneario-illetas/ https://www.purobeach.com/es/beach-club-illetas//?utm_source=google&utm_medium=GMB&utm_campaign=PuroBeachIlletas_GMB Roger b
  11. Hi All, You no longer have to worry about finding a taxi or a pick-up from the port , since you can book an Uber also you will not have to worry about cash as it goes on your credit card. https://www.uber.com/es/en/r/cities/taxi/palma-es-ib-es/ Roger b
  12. Hi, As there will not many places open on a Sunday, you will only need a couple of hours in Palma . Ombu is good but as it is your anniversary. I am going to give you my favourite restaurant for a true Spanish experience, this where the King goes when he holidays in Mallorca. It will be very busy so you will have to book ,try to ask for the terrace. Try for around 6pm .its a 20mins in a taxi . https://www.canpedro.es Roger b
  13. Hi Tanya, Perfect the Ho Ho bus has a stop at the port if you want to go back to the ship. Palma is an easy walkable town and most of the sights are are around the old city . My favorite walk is from the Mercat Olivar ( central market) down for the cathedral. The points on route : https://www.abc-mallorca.com/mercat-olivar-palma/ https://ipanematravels.com/art-nouveau-palma-de-mallorca/ ttps://www.seemallorca.com/sights/religious/banys-arabs-arab-baths Roger b
  14. Hi all,, I think cjc23 made a perfect tour on his day in Palma , it was made so much easier having a private guide to coordinate everything. This is not to detere people doing it on their own ,but this takes away the stress This is now where I will point this question to in future. Roger b
  15. No guarantee on getting a taxi but here are the bus times : https://www.tib.org/es/lineas-y-horarios/autobus/-/linia/203
