Hi,

I'm sailing Singapore to Hong Kong in January. We have to be off the ship early morning but my flight doesn't leave until late in the day. Is there anywhere that you can store luggage for a few hours?

Thanks

I love Bali, I’ve been 5 times and never had Bali belly. Remember to only drink bottle water & carful where you eat, things are a lot more touristy now then they used to be so not as many people get Bali belly. Take some meds just in case or you can buy most medicine there if you can get past the language barrier to explain what you need.

 I’ve always stayed in hotels which have had English TV but never spend much time watching, usually only in the room to sleep and shower, there is so much to do and it’s lovely sitting outside in the warm night air.

You don’t need to pay for drivers food and accommodation, usually you hire them for a day (about 8hrs) then they drop you off and head home and come back the next morning. Sometimes I’ll buy them lunch or drinks but you don’t have to, I do because my Bali driver is awesome.

Im not sure what fruit looks like a stinging nettle (not sure what they look like) but I love Rambutans, they are so yummy.

Thanks for the photos, Its always interesting to see see the city you live in through the eyes of a visitor.

Being summer there will be a lot of flies, just plain house fly so they don't bite, just annoying.

There is a Quest hotel about 15 minute walk from the cruise ship terminal as well.

I haven't used the Hong Kong one, but I did use iventure cards in Sydney and San Fran and a similar one in NY. Very easy to use, they just scan the card as you enter. I found it good value, but it depends if you are wanting to go to the places included and how many places you plan to visit. Check out the admission prices of places you want to go, add them up and see how it compares to buying the card.

There is a taxi rank at the town central square (near the tourist booth) and taxis can be booked by phone.

Do you know roughly how much they charge?

Remember New Caledonia is a French speaking country and some Taxi drivers only speak French.

My plan is to travel like I did in Europe, have every address needed writen in the local language.:)

We are heading to the South Pacific on our next cruise in a few months and trying to figure out the best way to get around Noumea. We are thinking we might go to the aquarium and maybe a beach. Does anyone know if it's easy to get taxis? And roughly what they cost?

Or any other suggestions on what to do and how to get around?

Thanks

Sorry to hijack this thread, but do you need to book for waterfront to? Or can you just turn up when ever and wait for an available table? We are cruising on the Eden in less then a month

I was told the casino cant open unless it was going to a port outside WA. There was a thread about it on one of the boards a few weeks ago:

Thanks Susie001. We are going for 12 nights so fingers crossed they run it. Ill keep an eye out for it.

Hi,

A few years ago when cruising on Carnival we did a behind the scenes tour which was amazing, It took you to the kitchens, staff areas, back stage and to the bridge for photos with the captain. Ive just booked my next cruise on P&O Eden & was wondering if P&O did something similar?

You may be able to do it but it would be a pain. They are only meant for one person so It would mean spending a lot of time waiting at the bar as they will only give you one drink at a time and would probably get suspicious if you keep going to the bar so you would have to have drinks well spaced out. Also staff would only bring one drink at a time.

Hi,

Some friends and I are looking at going on a cruise,some of us have cruised before, others havent. The ship that fits our travel dates the best is the Superstar Gemini but I cant seem to find much info on it. Just wondering if anyone who has been on it recently can tell us what its like?

Thanks
