Cruise ship docks in Newport

We will be on a Princess Cruise with a stop over in Newport. I just wondered where the tenders will take us into. Would they be close to the Newport Visitor%26#39;s Center on America%26#39;s cup way?

Instead of taking an expensive bus tour the cruise offers you can take the local shuttle bus to the mansions and Cliff Walk. So check these out and save the money. You can definitely do Newport on your own without needing to pay for a tour.

Select the Quick Scheduler pull down in the upper right corner. Check out these routes for Newport:

#67 for the mansions

You can get maps and info at the helpful visitor center so start there. You can buy an one day pass for $5.

Oops one correction, the Quick Scheduler is in the upper left hand corner refered to in the previous posting.
