Insects: ie mosquitos

[marchanxiety]

Are mosquitoes a big problem on daytime shore excursions and outdoors on the ship in the evenings?  I am mosquito bait and I've heard that they are especially bad in January and February, which is when we are thinking of going.

Last March in Moorea at the archeological site coming back from Belvedere Lookout I became a mosquito feast within 5 minutes! (left the repellant on the ship😏)  I had NO problems on the ship or at the beaches though.

On the ship no problem

At most major resorts  .... no problem

Go out into the interior on an excursion ... likely a problem so bring something for it.

Try the local stuff .... Monoi Anti Moustique a la citronnelle prevents against mosquito bites. Contains Monoi Tiare oil and citronella. It has a great fragrance and keeps the mosquitos away the natural way.

or the tried and true  Buggspray from Minnesota where the state bird is the mosquito 😉

Norma daytime, not a problem at all (and I'm a magnet.)  Only in places like those mentioned above, in the woods or jungle, and perhaps at dusk if you're on land.  On the ship, not at all.

Thanks, everyone.
