IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted June 15, 2023 #683 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) There's lots of good info in the last few posts. I just booked a cruise, so I'm not willing to spend time on updates, and there's no formal "updater" for this thread. But here's a quick summary of how to update list if anyone wants to try it (using a mouse; not sure if same when using phone): -Open a comment block -Go back to latest posted list & place cursor at beginning (I'd use "Please feel free....") -Hold curser down & drag it along whole list before releasing it -After releasing it (with list highlighted), right click on mouse & click on "Copy" -Scroll down to comment block you opened -Right click "Paste" (ignore message you get regarding rich or plain text) -Make changes/additions (helpful to include country name, plus date you traveled) -If want, enter comment somewhere as to what you added -Click "Submit Reply" If you made a mistake, you have a little bit of time to go back and edit. But I'm not sure how long the window for editing is. Edited June 15, 2023 by IWantToLiveOverTheSea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted June 22, 2023 #686 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) We just spent two days at the Tokyo International Cruise Port, and there was no mention from anyone aboard, or information in the Currents about a shuttle. To our surprise, the port provided a free shuttle to the nearby (1 km), DiverCity Tokyo Plaza mall. Ran from about 8AM to 8PM, every 10 minutes the first hour, then 30 minutes thereafter.

It was every 20 minutes (and typically takes about 15-20 minutes) except when the drivers were on their lunch breaks; then there was the odd one missing from the schedule.

Jayne E Posted June 25, 2023 #693 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Appears to be no shuttle in Abu Dhabi. Any info regarding taxi availability from city to port would be appreciated. Looks like approx 20 minute drive. We want to book an O tour which ends at 2:30 P.M. in city. Would rather stay longer and take taxi back to port. Thanks!

bob brown Posted July 12, 2023 #700 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Astoria, Oregon port provides a free shuttle to downtown shopping district and on to the Maritime Museum. More fun is the nearby trolley car which runs all the way from the port area to 39th Street, stopping at every block, and narrated the whole way. Fare is only a dollar donation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
