Dominica cruise ports
Dominica has two cruise landings and the guides keep them apart. At Roseau the downtown Cruise Ship Berth puts the Dominica Museum and the waterfront within a short walk, while a call at the Woodbridge Bay berth changes the walk, so check which berth your ship is assigned. Portsmouth's Cabrits berth takes ships alongside or by tender, with the Indian River reception centre the first objective ashore. Rainforest, waterfall and river outings need transport and a firm return time, so start with the arrival notes for your landing and plan the day backwards from all-aboard.

Getting into town
A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

How to read these comparisons
We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.
Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.
Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
