Haoie Posted May 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Just got off the ship a few hours ago for P519, Pacific Island Hopper, Pacific Pearl. Mystery Isle, Port Vila, Lifou, Noumea. Based on the CC reviews, I came in with relatively low expectations, but this trip actually turned out extremely well with excellent service throughout. Shoutout to the brilliant Gregg Akkerman - if you like good piano music and fantastic singing head over to the Mix bar in the evening as I've done so nightly. Happy to answer any questions about the ship or port stops to the best of my ability! Happy sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFG Posted May 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2015 What is the going rate for drivers in Port Vila these days? How is recovery going in that area so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haoie Posted May 27, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I didn't use a private car so am unable to answer that. It was my first time to Vila - no obvious major damage in the city center, seems like everything was open and bustling. I did see a few uprooted trees which never got removed. Too chaotic a town for me though. Noumea IMO was much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MISHELL1968 Posted May 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2015 How's the Pearl looking these days? Been on Jewel and heading off on Pearl this October, looking forward to it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haoie Posted June 1, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted June 1, 2015 First time I've been on her, but I think she looks good for her age IMO. Ugly carpet I noticed but oh well! She's the smallest ship I've been on and I liked the cosy experience. One thing - they've stopped all the acrobatic performances which I wasn't aware of at all! They're still being advertised online though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
