Agreed re Singapore, Brits (and many other nationalities) don't need visas, you just need to complete the SG arrival card three days before arrival in Singapore https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard/

Hi everyone! Having applied for, and received the 1-year, multiple entry Indian tourist visa on Monday (We are staying on after the cruise), I applied for the free, 48-hour transit visa for Sri Lanka and it was confirmed within 36 hours. I called Celebrity today and spoke to an assistant called Louise, to verify that the transit visa was sufficient for the two ports of call in Sri Lanka; she immediately said yes and asked if I would like her to double check, which I did! She put me on hold and then came back to me having confirmed with colleagues that the free transit visa is fine for the cruise visiting Sri Lanka and further said that Celebrity recommend getting the transit visa (I guess because it is free). So I am happy and confident that we have everything we need. FYI we are UK passport holders but clearly this would also apply to the vast majority of travellers, with some national exceptions.

One of the drop down choices for countries visited is "others", having input 45 countries because I didn't notice the "maximum 20" until I had done so, I deleted 26 and chose "others" to cover all of those without exceeding the 20!

Sunset House property is about 3/4 mile ... to the bar (My Bar) and dive shop about 1 mile.

 

Smith's Cove about 1 mile beyond ....

 

I've walked town to Sunset and return may times .. even carrying dive gear for two! (no tanks or weights)

Hi Capt BJ, what is the current situation re buses past your place from George Town and on to Smith Cove/Barcadere? I'd like to do a bit of snorkelling there, having been to GC twice before but my wife just wants to chill out and I couldn't see anywhere to rent a beach bed in that area so was thinking of getting the bus out and walking back via your bar? We'll be there on Wed, 12th Feb. Thanks, Kev
