Is there a Website of Pier Locations at Ports?

candelle · October 28, 2006

Can anyone advise where we can find a website which shows which pier our ship (Millennium) will berth in at each port we will be visiting?

I understand that some of the ports that are miles from attractions, whereas others are ‘on the doorstep’.

I have looked at port websites, but still can’t find the information I would like.

Many thanks.

There is none that I know of. Yes it would be nice to have a web site like that. There are times, that ships use a number of piers, for example in Alaska where the piers are so busy so sometimes you tender and sometimes your ship is at the pier. Sorry.

I have a site that might help althought it's more for hotels. This is a great site.

My experience on the Millennium is that its up to the individual port authority to decide what berth a ship will be in - but that even if there is a schedule - that could very easily change. There have been times i know that we're scheduled to be in a certain berth, but upon arrival the ship would be bumped to another.

It *seems* that certain ports (such as Barcelona) will have a schedule of a month or two at a time, while ports such as Civitavecchia only let the ship know a couple days ahead of time. (again - it just *seems* that way to me - it could be possible im way wrong).

I will be on Mercury soon and am searching the different ports to see if there is any useful info on piers then heading over to google earth to get a visual as well as see if there's any other info such as shops, restaurants, etc. It might be a bit of a longer process, but maybe will help you a bit ;)
