Forgot to mention. Includes grats and price is Oz $s
Hi Lyndarra, great deal! But I can only find that price (on the 1st Cruise site I looked at) without grats. ("Gratuities, Transfers and visa's (unless stated) are not included.").

Hello, please add me for 20th August, Pacific Explorer to Vanuatu and New Caledonia and for February 2020, Explorer Dream to Eden and Tasmania. Thank you.

You’ve mistakenly posted in the forum for asking questions about how to use these message boards. You’ll want to post your question in the Roll Call for your cruise.
Thank you. 🙂

Anyone else on this cruise?

Thats great that you were able to take advantage of the good deal. True P & O isnt celebrity or RCCL but you can still have a jolly good time if you go with the right attitude. Don't expect 5 star on 2 star prices. I expect the ship would be quite nice as it has recently had a make over. Friends will be getting off when you get on so I am looking forward to hearing what they think of the ship.
Any cruise is a good cruise (this will be my 35th and I can honestly say I've never had a bad one). We went on the Pacific Explorer last year and loved it so I'm really looking forward to it.

No formal nights on P&O as mentioned, just theme nights. A lot of fun and lots of dancing.:D
Yes I think P& might not be the classiest ships, but they do some things very well.
-
Cheap as chips $50 per diem cruising, but watch out for the Bogans, those prices attract them.:halo::rolleyes:
Dress standards apply..please !!! Tuxedo or Bag of fruit on formal nights and no shorts in MDR at all.
No formal nights apparently, only theme nights (back to school, White Night, Gatsby). :)

I watched the Today show this morn with the cast onboard the Ovation, and I saw some CCers from Canberra:p we met them on the Radiance last Easter, I wont mention their names for privacy, but they were the ones that they spoke to who had done the most cruises and they stayed on in the background for the segments.......so good to see them onboard and cruising, looks like they had family with them.:)
Hi there, yes we were on board (just Col and me). Some friends badgered me into getting up early to watch the show when they heard it was going to be filmed on board and I was glad I relented on the day, because it was really interesting watching how it all works and I ended up staying through the whole thing. The ship is amazing, the service was excellent and the cruise (to Hobart and NZ) was fantastic (except for the weather in the beginning, which resulted in some activities and shows being postponed - but that can't be helped and no amount of whinging (by lots of people on board, believe it or not!) can change that). I was surprised that being such a big ship with so many passengers we never felt it was crowded, never had problems finding a seat in the buffet or in shows and only had to queue twice, once in Guest Services to get our wrist bands (which is optional - but we loved them), and once to get back on the tender to the ship in Auckland. I highly recommend Ovation. :-)

You need the fastest option and that's a land taxi. It's a 20 minute drive and a cab will take you directly to the pier, about 40E.
You're cutting it way too close with that flight. I hope you have a back up plan, seriously. ... Good luck!!
Thanks for the advice about the taxi, that's what we'll do. I assume there's an easy to find taxi rank at the airport?
Yes, I'm stressing a LOT about the timing, but actually it's not as bad as I thought - I checked again and we get in at 2pm, not 3pm. Still less time than I'd like though. I do intend to have a backup plan of what to do if we miss the sailing. First port of call is Dubrovnik so I'll be researching how to get there and where to stay in Venice etc. But hopefully I won't need that.
Thanks everyone for your help, it makes it easier to know what we need to do once we land in Venice.
-
We're arriving into Venice from Tokyo at around 3pm on the day we cruise (our ship leaves at 6.30pm). What would be the best (least stressful/fastest/economical) way to get from the airport to the ship? How long does it generally take? Thanks.

Royal Caribbean Splendour of the Seas, 20th June 2015 from Vdnice
-
Portland is a walk off which is great and there are places to go/see around the area altho if you want to go on the tram you will need to pre-book your tickets once you get off, as it gets very busy. ...
With KI its a tender port to Penneshaw which is very small town and if you want to see a bit more then either pre-book a hire car or private tour, or get off as soon as you can to get on private tour, or else go on ships tour. /QUOTE]
Thank you so much, that's all really helpful.

Pacific Pearl to Eden, Portland and Kangaroo Island on 5th March (next week!)
-
We are on Pacific Pearl next week, with stops at Eden, Portland and Kangaroo Island. I've been to Eden many times and have done most of the places the shore tours take you to, so was thinking of hiring a car, or just wandering around where the tender boat drops you. But is there anywhere around there to go? Also, any tips on what to do in Portland and KI? Any help appreciated. :)
-
Has anyone been on any of these 2 shore excursions? I am going on the Voyager of the Seas and will be in Lautoka on Christmas day but i am stuck as to which excursion to pick.
Fijian Fire Walking & Cultural Show, Morning or Afternoon Tea at Westin Resort - FJ12
Fijian Traditions & Beauty - FJ05
I would love any feedback
Hi sugardiva, we're on that cruise too. Haven't done those excursions so can't help with your decision but I'm thinking we will have to book some kind of tour because it'll be Christmas day so nothing will be open except for the tour places. I'm thinking though that we'll look for a private tour rather than the tourist ship's tour.
-
It's due to depart at 5.30pm.
-
Thanks, I have a bad back and can't stand or walk for long periods so was hoping we wouldn't have to wait so long. :)
-
Our boarding time is 3.30pm but we arrive into Sydney at 11am. Does Carnival allow you to board earlier than your allocated time?

I've booked direct with Royal Caribbean but haven't paid in full yet. Are there any advantages (or disadvantages) to transferring my booking to a travel agent?
-
Hi, are any of the specialty restaurants or the main dining room open on embarkation day or is it just the Windjammer?
Anyone know the details of the specialty restaurant packages (price, etc) that are on sale on embarkation day? Are the packages available on short (4 or 5 night) cruises?
