Photos of Feb 06 cruise

[keepcruising]

Hi all, I have come down with a bad cold, so I haven't been around a lot lately, but decided that I should get some photo's up for you all to look at. Here is a link to some of our pic's.

If you look through the photos, you will see one labeled 'Passing Pacific Star'. I just went down to the cabin to put the camera away about 12:30am, when I looked out of the window and saw the Pacific Star passing us on it's way to Vila. The photo's not the clearest, as it was through our cabin window, but by the time I got back upstairs, it was too far away to make it out any better. They didn't make any announcement about it, not that we heard anyway which is a shame, as I know a lot of people who would have liked to see her passing us.

 

There are also some photos labeled 'smooth sailing', these i took while we were sailing, and the ocean was so smooth, just the slightest of swell, it was wierd, I have never seen anything like it on any of our cruises before, Not the slightest bit of choppyness anywhere, except for the wake of our ship, and this lasted for more than the entire day of sailing.

 

The rest are pretty self explanitory, so enjoy.

Hi Sandra, just had a quick look through (will have a better look tonight when I have more time). Great photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

AussieDF hasn't been on since she got back. Hope she's ok.

Karen, Yes AussieDF is fine, although she too has a cold type thing. She hasn't been able to get online for a while, as befor ethey left for their first trip their router died. We figure it was a lightning strike that fried it, so they are now waiting to get a new router. Until then she occasionally dials up to have a quick read, or she has a look from our place, but she assures me she will be back online soon.

Sandra the both links worked for me ...but then I also have a webshots album.

 

The photos are excellent. The food looks great too with the decorated melon work as good as those on the Sapphire Princess.

Thanks.

Hi everyone. Quick hello from work. Get the new router today and will be back online tomorrow. I missed the Star passing but when we were on our very first cruise back in '02 we passed the Pacific Princess at lunchtime and the horns blew and people were waving.

If you look through the photos, you will see one labeled 'Passing Pacific Star'. I just went down to the cabin to put the camera away about 12:30am, when I looked out of the window and saw the Pacific Star passing us on it's way to Vila. The photo's not the clearest, as it was through our cabin window, but by the time I got back upstairs, it was too far away to make it out any better.

After looking at the photos I was about to ask about the above but you had already answered my questions. What a pity that they didn't announce it so more people could have seen it and been prepared for photo opportunities. Great photos - thanks for sharing!!:o

Great photos!How was Fiji? Would you recommend going there?

Thanks:)

Thanks:)

 

I really enjoyed the two island stops, but didn't find Suva too appealing. Mind you we chose not to do a tour in Suva and just have a look around the town, this I was told was our mistake. Others who went on tours told us that it was much nicer than the town itself. So based on that if you go there I would recomend a tour, you will have time before or after to go through the town if you want.

We did the Cultural village tour which was for 4 hours that was good but have to agree with Sandra without a tour Suva isn't up to much.I loved Yasawa and Dravuni though.

[aussiedisneyfan]

We were going to do a tour but found them very expensive. Just over $100 for 4 hours.

 

We ended up going to Thurston Gardens and the Fiji Museum inside the gardens. It was about a 15-20 minute walk from the ship and I believe a few dollars by taxi. Make sure they use the meter.

 

The museum was interesting, had fans and an airconditioned giftshop for a welcome break from the heat.
