Shuttle Bus

[Coolgran]

Shuttles have always been free of charge from QE2 and I presume QM2 but I did hear they are now charging. Is this true:confused: If it is How Much:confused:

There were no charges for any of the shuttle buses when we were in Norway on QE2 this month.

Thank you for that information

Jon,

 

I hope the same applies for the world cruise. Paying for shuttles and organized shore excursions (lonly as a last resort) can add up. I recall that shuttles were always free, except for a shuttle transfer (3 hours!) between Rostock and Berlin and another between Nynashaam (sp?) and Stockholm (1 hour). The Queensferry to Edinburgh was another long haul as I recall, but complimentary.

 

If anyone reading my comments has experience in this regard with the world cruise, I'd appreciate hearing your experiences.

 

Thanks to all & Happy Sailings,

 

Bobby

 

PS to Jon: I enjoy looking at your photo sets and the videos, especially those waves crashing over the bow!

When we were at Queensferry (admittedly about eight years ago) there wasn't a shuttle bus into Edinburgh; you either had to get a taxi or the train. Being stuck at QF was one of the reasons we wouldn't rate Edinburgh as a port of call, if they now provide a shuttle bus that would make things much better.

We are sailing on QM2 in September and are paying Cunard $40.00 each for the shuttle bus from JFK airport to Red Hook Brooklyn.

Lets not get confused over the Shuttle Bus issue. Cunard does charge for bus service to/from airports and the ship. IN PORT shuttle bus service is normally free when the ship docks in ports where the passengers cannot walk into the shopping areas due to safety or sercurity reasons.
