Thanks for that. From reading the actual reviews it sounds like I've made a massive mistake in making a booking. I can't even get my head around some of what's being reported. :(

We have made the same mistake booked 15 december 2016 :( Should of stayed home and gone to work :rolleyes: found this video :rolleyes:

Typically, they simply hold the prohibited item without guest access until the end of the cruise

Not in Australia :rolleyes:

Smokes can be purchased at the bars alot cheaper than aust. Do not hide spread throughout baggage. Was 50 cigarettes or two pacts, you might get warning or pay tax or fine or court attendances notice or a star on passport :eek: and that's not something you want if you want to travel.

Noumea bus .they have a bus , like the rest ove the world , stand at bus stop , put havd out . bus stops , step on pay cpf $1.50 .say merc b kqu , that's how it sounds to them .sit down. Press button to get of .its called smart travelers bus:D

Trouble

We've taken several cruises and the price added on for govenment tax varied from cruise to cruise. Does anyone know what this is based on? We have paid from only $4.75 on Norwegian to $53.22 on Holland.

Keep the invoice and next time you are working in that country lodge a tax return :rolleyes:

Trouble

Hi i was wondering if my records would skip. ? even if i increased the counter balance , when rough weather. ? Suppose i could wait my turn and put it on the self leveling pool table like on the R OTS .:rolleyes:

How about getting brightly colored index cards with writing on it, telling people that "I'm in the pool" or "I'm in the bathroom" or "I'm getting a burger/drink" and then tape it to the chair so it can easily be seen. At least that way, people will know that you just didn't put you things on the chair and then disappear for a few hours.

YES need a sign "im a A's/O" for all those who dump children at the pool /hottub to do 1and 2's in them 😨and or leave a bookand Towle at 6am not to return till10:30 . See it all the time when up walking.

Trouble

Is it worth bringing my fishing gear along to these islands?

I'd like to fish from shore and was wondering if there are any

Restrictions or is prohibited anywhere.

 

Thanks.

What are you going to do with fish ? Will not be able to bring back on board and with thousands of people swimming snorkeling. Mystery island is marine reserve a nd lifou having said that i have fished of the fairstar but that was another time :D

My cruise has been replaced with an extra sea day at the start. I'm actually really looking forward to three sea days to completely relax and unwind before the ports start.

 

$100 OBC in a quad share isn't much per person but atleast it should cover a specialty restaurant cover charge.

hi chops Au$46:55 so no :( they are JUST refunding your port tax that you have payed and calling it 'GOODWILL':rolleyes:

Did you book ? did you book ? I would of booked . My mother had been putting of going for years ,this Chrismas ask us about our cruise so went and got price . Call here about pasport . "o it ran out years ago and you said it left from Sydney and I don't like flying" :eek:

Trouble

Trouble

Point is other cruise's are going to another stop ie Mare ,Woollongong or the grain terminal :eek: The only reason i booked this cruise was to go snorklling in Lifou on my Birthday :mad:

Sorry to read about the group who are not going cause of bub :(

Hi all , i booked 29th exp/ots to go snorkling in Lifou for my birthday on the 2nd Dec , now a sea day and the "Goodwill" they are offering $100 obc PER STATEROOM $50 EACH :mad:That is Just giving back the port tax that they legally have too and calling it GOODWILL :rolleyes:

Trouble

Thank you everyone especially Merion Mom 👍

 

Couple of questions in the DL is it unlimited drinks or just your 3 free drinks during cocktail hrs ?

 

Is it buy 1 get 1 free wine/beer ( shown in the menu seapass ) for the whole of the cruise or just one off ?

If you are a fish and behave they run there legs off to serve you :)

once only for all the offers

regards Trouble

:confused:

Ding, ding, ding!

 

We have a winner!

Ok i get it why you have beds apart with all that "ice" going on but extra chairs on balcony? Whats the hand rail for:D

hi all we are on Voyger now sailing out of Noumea , don't know how many drinks you have to see the pool ,but The diamond lounge looks out to sea and has private deck to rock climbing wall . Open for unlimited drinks 5 pm till 8;30 plus three drinks to have with non members at the other bars :)
