Thanks all. So as its only a 6hr stop over, I think its a case of get off ship for a little walk to the "one street" cafes/shops and chill, or a trip to Olympia then, and that would have to be a tour, as don't think the bike tour would go that far.

Any one been to Katakalon on the cruise? Just wondering what to do on the stop. For some reason its a late arrival, and only have 6hrs in port. I've looked on the TUI excursions, and seen a beach which is 30m away, and a bike tour. Anyone does any of these? Wonder why its this beach as seems there is closer ones. It doesn't state what or where you go on the bike tour, is it worth it? thanks

I don’t film people, no, no interest, I prefer landscapes. I’m afraid I can’t control everyone, only myself and I respect the laws. You can’t tarnish everyone with the same brush, sore point or not. Anyway, I can’t take it so happy days (for some)

? No, it would be to take with me on excursions. Knowing the laws like I do I wouldn’t film when on the cruise or docked anyway. That’s trouble sometimes, people challenge you and tell you, can’t do that here, but actually don’t know the laws which we are required to.

Thanks, where is that post from please? As although I don’t doubt it, it’s saved on AWS, and seems old. It it available on TUI website. Appreciate info though, pity as would have been good to take.

Flying with TUI and cruise with Marella, as a package. I’ve found info for drones for n TUI flight and they are allowed in hand luggage. However just had email back from a TUI shop saying they are not allowed on board the ship. Has anyone boarded with a drone? I’ve asked where this info is written down, but wondered if anyone else had info, or tried etc. Its only a small drone under 250g, so is allowed to fly in most places. thanks.

Marella Explorer 2 are balcony cabins on deck 8/9/10 overlooked? which is best ones to get? I've read that on deck 8 you may not get a twin bed, which I need, and not really bothered where it is so wasn't going to pay £50 to choose.

New to cruising really, only been on a TUI one where everything was included, tips, service charges etc. Looking now TUI cruises are really expensive this year, like most tbh because of everything that’s going on. So not sure on how others work, all i can find on PO site is “no need to tip””. So just wanting to know of there is any other charges. I like on TUI how everything is included, prefer that upfront. Looks like drinks are not included on PO. Paying for 4 will become expensive, so what is guide price, for alcohol and soft drinks, coffee etc. Thanks
