Voyager of the seas noumea, isle of pines, mystery island

[ozziepost]

If you haven't booked a ship tour for the Isle de pins there are usually private operators near the tender jetty on Kuto Bay.

Hi Bitter Bulldog, did you book Tchou Tchou tour through ship or when you got to Noumea. Also are AUD accepted where you ate. Counting down now less than three weeks.

[summerholidays]

Have been reading CC posts re drink packages. Do they differ on the ship in comparison to on-line or are they the same? Cheers

I booked through the ship - depending on where the boat docks - we were on the cargo terminal. Where you need a shuttle bus to get to town. There was a P&O ship docked right where the shuttle takes you to.

 

The Tchou Tchou picks you up from the cargo terminal if you book through the ship.

Otherwise there are other Choo choo tours from where the shuttle bus drops you at the other terminal. The other tours are cheaper but I saw one only did 2 stops, didn't have refreshments & was probably shorter.

 

The one through the ship is 2 hours. Has about 6 stops. & you get a couple pastries & a soft drink.

It then drops you back to the ship, or you can can dropped off downtown & make your own way back.

I don't know if there is a price difference - can't remember the prices but I ended up getting the the Beer, wine, cocktail package (also includes soft drink & water). I think it was $57 a day? US dollars. The website displays in OZ I think from memory?

I'm not on same ship but legend in Feb but this has been a very informative thread. Interesting in reading a review when you return

[LuckiePuris]

Visited Noumea and Isle Of Pines in November / December, review in signature with information and photos of port.

 

Also including link to my port summary below, hopefully helps:

Ditto. I'm on Explorer in Feb and this has been very informative, especially re Shows. I've booked 6:30pm dining and wasn't sure whether it would clash with the show times - I gather the ships would have similar timings re shows etc?

 

I've booked the Turtle Bay Tour through the ship, the rest of the ports I'm just going to wing it :D

Normally the shows are set around the early and late sitting times, so you can fit in either show first and then dinner, or dinner first and then show.

 

I was onboard Explorer for a ship inspection and she is a beautiful ship :)

Oh wow, the Explorer looks beautiful indeed! I'm so excited, like a little kid at a candy store :D

 

Thanks LuckiePuris :)

There are now 2 ice shows on Voyager at various times. You need to collect tickets for these, they are held several times but DO NOT miss them. They are both fabulous.

 

Two 'different' ice shows?

 

Explorer still only has one.

No worries at all, it really is a beautiful ship and I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time!

We are booked on the Voyager of the Seas 12 night South Pacific & Fiji cruise on 13 March. Does anyone know when the formal nights are typically held on these types of cruises.

I normally find formal night is the first full sea day, and the second last full sea day. They may add one somewhere in the middle also for a 12 night cruise.

Does anybody know where on the Isle of Pines you can get your hair plaited?

Usually it is close to where tenders drop off. I seem to recall a small beach area where it is done close to where we waited for our tour pick up.

[CruiseHelper123]

Thanks!

Got confused reading about RCI Legend of the Seas, then looked at date, old thread resurrected.

[CruiseHelper123]

Yup
