That is because nobody actually gets to land. The catamaran pulls up to the ship to load passengers and then takes them on a scenic cruise in the lagoon and past the glacier(s) and then directly back to the ship. There is no landing area.

I just booked a transfer from Southampton to T2 Heathrow today with Oceania as the quote from Totally Driven had gone way up from previously. It was $102 Canadian each. We booked our own air to Toronto

This is a bit unrealistic knowing Irish roads as there is no motorway from Dublin to Kilkenny. You would have plenty of time to visit Glendalough, Powerscourt Gardens, Mount Usher Gardens ,Avoca and the Wicklow Mountains. Although Ireland is a small country the country roads are narrow so it is important to remember if you can only drive 30mph you can only cover 30 miles in an hour!

This is a photo of Devil’s Island .As you can see it is very compact The tenders land at the start of the main trail

You really do not need a guide for Devils Island . It is quite small and very well signposted with multiple explanations on all of the buildings. There are 3 main trails one is quite gradual the others are more difficult and remember it is very hot and humid so take your time and wear suitable footwear as the steps can be slippery and carry lots of water

You need a jacket or sweater in the main theatre as it can be freezing with the air conditioning at times

Don’t do it on a weekend as the system gets glitchy

Great review. We were on this trip as well and this brought back great memories. Sorry we didn’t meet Maybe next time

We were on the Regatta last September and did a whale watching tour with Eagle tours in Victoria. It was fantastic and we saw multiple humpback whales as well as seals,and Orcas Have a look at their website

We were on the same cruise and took the Oceania tour Splendor of the Sultan. It was very interesting and gave an interesting perspective on the country. Anything connected to the Sultan was seen from afar as all his properties are behind walls . We visited a museum of his treasures and exhibits of his life as well as the Polo grounds, golf club an amusement park which was closed and a fancy hotel. We also saw some mosques and the countryside. Tourism is not well developed and cruise ship visits are few so infrastructure is not well developed

Currently on Riviera in concierge and that is what was given

Seriously though to contact others in a group and to keep in contact with home in case of emergency we use Whatsapp on our phone free and easy!

Currently on Riviera Mumbai to Bangkok No problems with customer service Staff very pleasant and helpful; some issues with changing times in port without explanation. ship in excellent condition

It can be a pain to fill out the survey if the servers are acting up. We find it easier to do in the computer room and it only takes about 7 minutes or so. We were on the Regatta in September and they were still offering a draw of $100.00 off your on board account. Imagine my surprise when my name was called. I was still sceptical as we had a lot of OBC and our total bill was under $10. The remainder showed up on our next Mastercard statement as a credit in October!!!
