best way to get from hotel to port

We will be boarding a cruise ship at the Wai Gao Qiao port in early May. We are staying at the Radisson New World Shanghai hotel.

What is the best way to get there...we will have luggage...What would a taxi cost?

Thanks

best way to get from hotel to port

Port is in Pudong.

However it appears that it%26#39;s a container port! Are you sure you%26#39;re boarding your cruise ship there? AFAIK the cruise ships have all moved to the new International Cruise Terminal at Dong Daming Lu, quite close to People%26#39;s Square, north of the Bund.

I believe Ellyse is correct. The hotel is on West Nanjing lu so it%26#39;s a journey of approx. 15-30mins. (very dependant on traffic) at a cost of approx. 15-25rmb. With luggage a taxi is best. Get the hotel to write the cruisport address in Chinese for the taxi driver.

Re-check the cruise terminal with your tour operator.

Thank you so much for your information. I will call my travel agent immediately to make sure we go to the correct port.

Thanks again for your help

Yes, do that. If you%26#39;re on one of the major cruise lines eg Oceania, you will be docking at the International Cruise Terminal like I mentioned earlier.

Hi Ellyse

I just confirmed with the travel agent that we are leaving from the Shanghai Cruise Terminal on Gao Yang Road. It is new.

Is this the port that is 15-30 minutes away from the Radisson New World Shanghai Hotel?

Could you please write the name and street address in Chinese so we get to the correct place?

Thank you

Don%26#39;t know about that one. :( But if it%26#39;s on Gaoyang Lu then it%26#39;s in Pudong and certainly not the one that%26#39;s near Radisson New World Hotel.

This is strange. I can only suggest that you contact the cruise line directly in order to clear this up then come back to us.

Thanks, I will do that. I am quite confused!

Will be back on the forum when I get some clarification

Hi

I have received clarification from my Cruise line... We have to check in at Shanghai International Cruise Terminal which is on Gao Yang Road. The street before is Da Ming Road.

We will be at the Radisson New World...How far is terminal from the hotel by cab? Approximate cost?

Thank you very much I really appreciate your help

Doh, I cleared up the misunderstanding. Gaoyang Lu intersects Dong Daming Lu, usually we tell the taxi drivers Dong Daming Lu instead!

Reckon on about 15-30 RMB for the taxi ride, depending on traffic conditions.
