Getting Around in Dublin

[Bornbeau]

We are going on a cruise out of Dublin in May and possibly staying at the Clayton Hotel at the Dublin Airport. Can any one tell me what our options and costs would be for getting from the airport to the cruise port and then from the cruise port to the hotel after the cruise. I have been given the impression that cabs could be costly. Have also heard that there are some inexpensive buses that would work for us. Any ideas.

Try the ports of call board since your question is more Port related than cruise related.

Hi. Dublin resident here.

 

The airport Clayton is quite a distance from the port, and a little bit off public transport routes. Unless the hotel themselves run a shuttle service to the port (and I'd doubt they do) public transport options aren't great from that location.

 

A taxi through the port tunnel should be around €30 so long as it's after 10am (add €7 for toll at rush hour to discourage commuters).

 

I think the only cheaper option might be hotel shuttle back to the airport (around 10 minutes) then 747 bus to "The Point", which will leave you about a 10 minute walk from the port for €7 each.

 

With bags, I think paying extra for a taxi might be the better option.

 

Maybe contact the hotel and see if there's some option that I'm not aware of?
