We sail in September and our ship arrives in Benoa at 7am. This itinerary is round trip from Bali. I'm wondering how long it has taken other ships to clear immigration. Are the Indonesian authorities quite difficult?

Also, how long is the taxi ride from the port to the airport?

Thanks!

Got our cruise docs yesterdat! Really excited now! :D Did anyone else get theirs?

I guess we're really going now.

They also sent the list of excursions. Only one of the excursions had a price. Does that mean that the other ones are included? Granted that the most of the islands we're stopping at are uninhabited or excursion consists of snorkeling and a beach BBQ.

Hi

Supper at 7:30 is going to be late for my husband. Do they offer afternoon snacks/canapés? Or if lunch is offered, is it a late lunch?

Thanks!

If anyone is interested, Star Clippers is posting pictures on Facebook from the East Bali itinerary as they stop in each port. They're on Komodo now.

How does disembarkation work on Starclippers? On the big cruise lines, you're given a time slot and if want to walk off with your luggage to save time, you have the first time slots. Disembarkation tends to be mayhem with clearing customs and finding your luggage. We're on the Bali itinerary iin September and I want to book a flight for 11am, and Starclippers told me that that disembarkation is from 7:30 to 9:30. The 7:30 slot will give us enough time to get to the airport, 9:30 wouldn't. From what I read, the airport is fairly close about 20-30 minutes away, but that depends on the traffic.

Has anyone taken a taxi from the port to the airport? Wondering how easy it is to get a taxi. I read that most of the taxis are hoping for tourists to rent the taxi for the day and aren't as interested in doing airport runs.

Thanks!

See you on board! Starclippers sent me a copy of the excursions, but it didn't have the price. I'm really curious about the Komodo island tours. I heard they're quite expensive.

Susan

Thanks for the info. How much did Starclippers charge for the dives?

My husband and I will be on the Sept 23rd sailing. Looking forward to it.

It says on the travel docs that the boat docks at 6am on the last day. Does anyone know what time we can leave at? Trying to book to a flight to Singapore and I'm not sure what time to book the flight.

We're doing a 7 day cruise out of Bali in September on the Starclipper. Are there any diving excursions?

We're also Bali bound. September sailing with a port on Komodo. Really want to see those dragons!

Yes,we're on the same cruise. We're arriving on the 12th in Rome or Florence.

I'm also looking at doing the Messina port on our own. I'm looking at doing Mt Etna and Taormina, but I don't know, if there will be enough time.

Hi lallenrd

Are you on the Nov 18th sailing? Have you joined the roll call yet?
