We were invited the last time we were on the Summit with Captain Kate. We were leaving Bermuda & there were many sailboats in the harbor since it was a week before the America's Cup. Sparkling wine was served, it was quite a festive departure!

We are planning to take a taxi to the Hilton in Moorea. We will be tendering in from the Grand Princess. Were there a lot of taxies available & did they only accept XFP currency? Thank, Denise

Thanks so much for your review, the Silhouette is our favorite S class & we love Blu on this ship! Denise

My designer is Levi Strauss!

I agree, a taxi is our best bet, thanks again!

Thanks for the info! We are arriving in Melbourne from a few days visiting Uluru. So I guess we'll be arriving at a domestic terminal. We are staying at the Melbourne Sheraton, on Little Collins St.

What about travel to & from the airport in Melbourne? We are going to be there for 4 days at the end of March. Thanks, Denise

Is that a flat rate or a metered fare?

Well, they had in New Jersey in 1976. It was a Pathmark supermarket, right off Rt.4. We would drive from NYC every 2 weeks for groceries & they had it in the refrigerated section!

That's very cool, thanks for the back story!

Really? Never saw that, may have to now!

Not arguing - especially since I am unable to drink Alcohol and haven't had a beer since in College where we would pay a premium for Coors -- LOL - I was on the East Coast. In the mid 70's we lived in Manhattan & would drive to New Jersey to buy Coors! At the time it was not sold in NYC & in New Jersey it was only sold refrigerated because it was so special. It was treated better than French champagne! 🤣

I've done the same thing, my DH takes a load of meds! Plus on our last Princess cruise in 2019 DH got a very bad case of the flu & we spent about $30 just on Tylenol since we were on a TA. Now we bring loads of OTC meds.

I was in contact with Joseph from Jotours. He said we could not reserve in advance because the port has strict rules about that & it's first come, first served but that we should not have a problem as there are many drivers. He said we could arrange with a driver to come back & pick us up when we want to leave.

They just wanted my info & said we would pay when we got there.

I sure will!

Yes I booked for my visit this coming April. My biggest concern is getting a taxi there & back. I did correspond with a taxi driver in Moorea & he assured me that there would be taxis available.

Thank you, we plan to walk off with our luggage & hope to be one of the first off!

We will be on the Celebrity Edge in March and need to catch a domestic flight out from Sydney. How long would a taxi ride be from OPT to the airport, this would be on a Sunday? We have an11:00am flight, it's the only direct flight that day. Normally we would not have cut it so close.

Thanks for your reply! Wow, never thought that the laundry would be closed for Noro! We are on for 3 weeks & that laundry will be piling up! LOL

Thanks for your update, we have an overnight planned at the zoo in March. Also have been to the San Diego Zoo & that's quite a compliment! On another subject, how did you enjoy the Grand Princess? We will board in April. Thanks, Denise

Yes

Thanks, the person that I have been in contact with at Hilton didn't make me feel confident in getting someone to come back. That's my concern, my next port is Honolulu😅

Thanks so much! The Hilton won't arrange a round trip taxi but the Sofitel will so I may go with them. I'm just too worried about getting back to the ship.

I know that there was a change to the suite deposit. We have never booked a suite but are thinking about it for a special anniversary. What' the deal now? Thanks
