Got off the ship around 10am. We took the Princess shuttle to town which costs $10 r/t for adults and $25 r/t for a family of 4. We walked past the cruise terminal towards the sightseeing buses on the right side, not realizing the shuttle buses were parked on the left side just after crossing the bridge. The shuttle dropped us off at Mere Puiestee which was about a block from the Viru gate, one of the main pedestrian entrances into old town.

Around 2pm, decided to take shuttle back to the ship. After eating lunch at the buffet, walked back down to the cruise terminal to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi which was very fast compared to the internet service on the ship. We signed up for the $99 internet package for 200 minutes plus 20 extra minutes for signing up on the first day. But with the internet being so slow, the 220 total minutes get used up really fast. Even taking advantage of free wi-fi on certain ports, we actually used almost of our total minutes by the end of the cruise.
