Cartagena, Colombia Port Reviews

The dock was very long, and excursions had buses picking up passengers right at the ship. Upon return, passengers were dropped off right at the ship as well. We toured the old town area, which was very enjoyable as we had an excellent guide.

We absolutely LOVED Cartagena! Again, we booked an off ship, all day taxi and he took us across the entire city to see everything for $20 per person. The last stop was a local restaurant on the beach for the most amazing Colombian food! Coconut lemonade and crispy salted plantains with a crab dip! AMAZING!!

Very Very Hot. Did the Party Bus excursion. Was fun, but it seemed that the people running the trip just wanted to take us to places that we were somewhat attacked by the local hucksters selling trinkets. The zoo at the end was nice.

Didn't leave the immediate dock area due to crime in the area, but the little mini zoo had improved considerably since were last there and provided an excellent opportunity to get off the ship.

We had been there before while on the Bliss. We did some shopping and enjoyed the mini Zoo that they have there. It was nice to see the animals.

It was good. Our goal is to see as many of the places we visit. (not beach or snorkeling people). We did the Cartagena city tour.

No excursions. Port was more of a commercial port for cargo ships. Did enjoy the Eko sanctuary.

Short stay, no time for nothing. Souvenir shop near port.

Not much to be done about the pesky Venezuelian refugees in your face trying to sell their wares. But it made me very uncomfortable. We had a fabulous tour guide for our excursion.

Didn't really like Cartagena, a lot of people bugging for money and to buy their stuff. It was hard to shop with everyone trying to sell you there items
