In Punteranus did the trolly that picked you up and took you to the shops at the end of the pier..........also bring you back to the ship?? Thanks

I think if I remember right there is only 1 trolley and it runs all day while you are in port, it's pretty long and carries alot of people.

When it returns from the ship and drops people off at the pier you just jump back on and it will take you back to the ship....You might have to wait a few minutes because it might be half way between the ship and the pier. Not a long wait though, just a few minutes. If you just happen to miss it while trying to board it to retrun to the ship, the total time before it returns again is maybe 10 to 15 minutes.

I know this is getting long and a little stale, but, hey! I just joined the forum today. I was on a repositioning cruise in May 2002 on HAL's Amsterdam. We boarded in Ft. Lauderdale and debarked 19 days later in Seattle. We hit Half Moom Cay, two full days at sea, Cartegena, Columbia, The Canal transit, with no stops in Panama, two more days at sea, but close in to Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, Puerto Quetzal, Guatamala, Santa Cruz, Hualtalco, Acapulco, a day at sea, Cabo San Lucas, and then four days at sea. The ports were all good except Hualtalco. Thay can forget that one. The Canal transit was very nice. I should have jumped ship in Cabo. The last four days were not very enjoyable. But I really liked the ship. But then, I am a senior citizen. Well, a "junior" senior citizen. The food was really good, maybe not great. The cabin was very nice. The entertainment was excellent. I think what I like most about the cruise was that it is a fairly large ship (61,000 tons) but carries only 1,200 passengers. You feel like you have a lot of elbow room. But I don't drink, I don't gamble, and the last four days in the Pacific were so stormy that you could not go on deck. I was eager for land.

Thanks for taking your time to reply, Captain Larry!

It's always good to have as many opinions as possible!

Your last four days at sea with bad weather! What sort of activities would you suggest that could have been offered to have made them more enjoyable? I often wish ships would be better about planning extra things for rainy days and bad weather when At Sea ....
