I just got back from French Polynesia with HAL. We didn’t book any snorkelling tours through the ship. In Raiatea we used Are tours who were excellent. Had a great day at the coral garden then on to a private Motu for a very tasty lunch in the water surrounded by fish and sharks. Snorkelling gear was provided. In Morea we used Captain Tania who also provided snorkelling gear.

I’m Elite Plus with Celebrity and just came off my first cruise with HAL a 35 night on the Koningsdam. I can categorically say the food was much better than Celebrity. More choice in the MDR, great quality and much better and more food venues throughout the ship which there is no charge for. The entertainment in the Theatre is better on Celebrity however BB Kings Blues club was fantastic and they also have the Rolling Stone Rock Room. I would go with the best itinerary,

Last September we stayed in the Room Mate Bruno hotel. It’s directly opposite the entrance to the cruise terminal so a 2 minute walk. Good sized rooms, great breakfast and reasonable room rate.

We have a Sky Suite booked on the Solstice in Asia for November 2025 and it was only $2863pp for 12 nights! Same cabin in 2024 is $6873pp!

Yeah we booked a Sky Suite on the Solstice for November 2025 for $5700 for two! It worked out only $120 more than a regular veranda so was a no brainer.

We’ve visited Vietnam and Thailand many times on land based holidays but have booked this cruise for 2025 as we couldn’t resist the price. We booked a Sky suite for only £2700 ($3400) per person. A veranda cabin was only $120 less!! I agree with all previous comments book your own excursions and try and spend some time in Singapore and Hong Kong, both are fabulous cities to visit.

They had Captain Morgan and Havana Club and I’m pretty sure they had Kraken although it’s my least favourite so I never ordered it, sailor Jerry is my favourite.

Someone thought she was from the US

I’m the opposite getting my passport into the hotel safe with other valuables has always been my priority since I first started travelling!

I would never book a hotel anywhere that doesn’t have an in room safe to store cash, passports, watches and jewellery.

Just boarded the Apex in Rotterdam and there is a lounger on our aft cabin balcony and as far as I can see all the others in the row!

Now I can’t get in on app or on my laptop

We sailed Azamara for the first time last November and would be unlikely to sail with them again. We had lots of sea days and felt the ship totally lacked any atmosphere and things to do. Ship was also very tired and in need of general maintenance.

Took mine in February this year with no issues.

Are they pressed too or just folded( I don’t mean the socks and underwear lol)
