SeaWatch Posted April 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Any comments on the itinerary that includes numerous ports in New Caledonia and Vanuatu? It looks fascinating but would love to hear from cruisers. This is a January cruise. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portofrome Posted April 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm interested as well. This cruise is in my bucket list too.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted April 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Suggest you seek comments from the Australian and New Zealand thread, as Aussies and Kiwis are frequent cruisers to these ports of call. Or Ports of Call - Australia and New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted April 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2018 well okay but I find not many folks go to those forums. I hope you get some answers HERE on this thread. I found the ports of call threads not always so helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlsSalt Posted April 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Ile de Pins has to be the prettiest port stop in the entire South Pacific. Tip: While the beach side French hotel pavillion looks tantalizing for lunch, we had to walk out to the main road and down the long driveway to the hotel itself rather than just walk across the beach. There was a guard at the beach entrance who would not let you past if you were not a hotel guest, even if you said you were going for lunch. Lunch was in fact a bit disappointing after all, but the setting was wonderful. One has to realize anything they offered beyond basics would have to some in by ship, be pre-packaged and lose any fresh or "French" appeal. Chose menu items carefully. Same thing happened in Noumea at a very charming French bistro - everything was canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
