Hope your cruise is an excellent one as ours was!!

As a video producer, I enjoy filming the cruises on broadcast equipment as I can utilize the footage in various productions

Re long flights....

Whenever we go to FLL, the easiest fastest way is to use the direct Qantas flight to Dallas/Fort Worth from Sydney. It is then just a 3 hr flight to the East Coast and saves the hassle of going via LAX.

Thank you for the advance glimpse of our Cruise next Sept. 2014. Can you share with us the airline you used? We were considering a flight that would stopover in Hawaii to make the flight a little easier.

We will be on the new route in Feb 14 from Singapore to Myanmar (Burma) & India do look out for the video highlights!

We mostly use the Qantas A380 direct from Melbourne. ( 13.5 hrs )

But also use the Qantas offshoot Jetstar direct to Hawaii & then a US carrier or Westjet to USA or Canada as you can get great specials even when you pay for baggage/meals or alternatively use Fiji Airways via Fiji

Thanks for posting. Something I will never do since I could not stand the flight back to Vancouver.:)

Hi Gail,

Do what we do....go via Hawaii & have a stopover. It can be much cheaper & you can rest as the flights are around 8 hrs & 5 hrs

Hope you can make it over here soon

Regards

No charge again for our 2nd visit to Alex & Port Said in May this year onboard the Noordam.

They processed the passports ok & I had enquired re fees beforehand & told that there will be no fees...Turkey was a different story!!

Hi all.

 

We are considering this cruise come Oct 19 2012. Would those who have perhaps taken this cruise please chime in as to what we can expect? I am guessing that there are great sites to visit in Morocco (casbah??) and other wonderful shopping venues. Any help with MUST SEES is very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
