How to find out what ships will be in port

[anteaters]

Hi! I just read on a past CC strand that if there is only one ship (ours will be the small Pacific Princess) in port on the day of disembarking (for us that will be in Venice in slower season November), there will be no taxis there to take to the airport and you either have to have one already booked in advance or do the Princess transfer. Can anyone tell me how to find out if there are more ships that will be in Venice on a certain day? We are making our own way with public transport from the airport to our hotel but want either a taxi or if necessary Princess transfer to get us from the ship to the airport at the end. Thanks!

Check the port authority for your port. Each port has one.

This is far more accurate than cruisett or the other websites that attempt to collect the data.

Another website I check to see what's in port is cruisetimetables.com I've found it to be pretty accurate.

I use Whatsinport.com. Was spot on during our last cruise.

How can you find out if your ship is docked or tendered at each port? Thanks in advance!

If you know which ship(s) are going to be in port but aren't sure which (if any) will tender, just go to the cruise lines' website and look up that cruise. The itinerary should tell you if it is a tender port.

I have been on cruises were it was not a tender port and the ship tendered because it looked liked the fleet was in and all the dock space was in use.

 

It has only happened twice to us so far.

 

 

Take care,

Vinnie

Try typing "ships in port" into Google and clicking on the very first hit.
