Thank you!! Whilst not a resident, I have been fortunate to make over 100 visits to Halifax with Holland America line ships over the past 15 years. An amazing city, and I we could have easily made this video 45 minutes long with all there is to do there. Next we will surely have to make a video about the amazing food scene there!

Thank you!

Yeah it's a great place to visit, and there so much to do that you can go back and see new things each time. The people there are also lovely too!

Hi, Julie, I'm a lifelong Haligonian (Halifax resident) and spent 20-ish years in tourism here, starting at Peggy's Cove and the last 15 as a tour guide/driver in Halifax. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here :)

Anytime! Hope you have a great trip!

Hello! Thanks for watching! Yeah let us know your other ports and we can work on some more videos for you!

Anytime!

You are very welcome! What other ports will you be visiting? We will have a lot more videos coming in the next few months, so if you have any port requests, just let us know!

@dockeddiscoveries the cruise has an overnight in Laem Chabang so we're going to head to Bangkok and spend the night there. Trying to get in as much as we can🙈. Still have to do loads of research on what to do there. We have 3 stops in Vietnam but have 2 of those sorted Thanks for the reply

Hi Diane, so this is always a in a little bit of a state of flux with how the local government there wants to process visas. Typically the standard is that you can either get it yourself prior to sailing, or your cruise lines guest services team can process it for you in advance of the day, which the last time i sailed there was around $35USD i believe. It is done onboard though, rather than shoreside when you step off the ship. That process is much more common in ports in Japan, Korea and China. To play it safe, i would recommend checking with your cruise line in advance, and if they can do it onboard, that would be the easiest option for you. I hope that helps!

I'd glad you found it helpful!

Anytime! :)

Yeah no worries at all! If you need some more help, feel free to check out our website- www.dockeddiscoveries.com, there is over 50 different Asian port information pages on there, it might be useful!

Anytime! We hope you have a great trip!

You're welcome!

Walk in packs of two or three wouldnt be a problem.. but the paths suggested has a lot of people so no problem… its the heat that will have you beat. I suggest hire a tour van

Hi James! Whilst safety can never be guaranteed anywhere in the world, in our opinion, yes. We've walked this path many times, and never felt unsafe. The bigger factors on the decision making would be the distances involved, and potential weather of the day- it can be very hot!

¡Es impresionante! Un lugar tan especial para visitar.

¡Asombroso! Tu comida es tan buena. La calidad es fantástica. Cada vez que trabajo en un crucero que viene a Montevideo, ¡siempre le digo a la gente que vaya allí!

You are very welcome! Always one of my favorite ports to visit. I always wish we had more time there- you could easily spend a week with all the different things to see and do!

Hey Samantha! It may be possible. I have just gone to the train station in the past, and during the day there has normally been a train every 15 minutes or so. They can be quite crowded at times, so just be mindful of your belongings!

Thank you!

So it depends on the specific docking location. Within the Tien Sa Peninsula Port, ships can dock in a couple of spots. From either however, it involves walking through a big container shipping port. Normally you will have access to a free golf buggy style shuttle going back and forth from the ship to the port gate. On my most recent visits there, you were allowed to walk, and it was approximately 1/2 a mile / 800m. I hope that helps!

Thanks for the information.

You're welcome!

Depends on a lot of factors! Time of the year, airline, class of ticket etc. A simple google search will bring up lots of options for you. Normally you can find round trip tickets in the $1000-$1400 range for economy tickets.

Hi Mary! Yes, the two closest stops would be Carthage Hannibal, and Carthage Presidence. I would say the first stop is slight closer. Hope that helps!

They used to be. They are trying to replace them more so with the electric vehicles, for a number of reasons. You do still see camel rides available, but more so in front of the treasury after the walk in, rather than going the whole way in!

Hi Jack! It is around 4 miles / 6km. Just outside the port gate you will find lots of Tuk Tuk drivers that can give you a ride there. $5-10 USD will get you there, might take a little negotiating. Normally cruise lines provide shuttles from the ship to the port gate as it is quite far.

Anytime! I hope you have a great trip there!

You're welcome!
