In the uk crabbies do a ginger flavoured beer (alcoholic) and a ginger wine, more of a liquor. Best alcoholic ginger beer for me is one called gingerbeard by Wychwood. Surprisingly enough I was thinking about the non alcoholic variety to mix with a bitter beer to make a shandy. Looks like jackdeb has the answer. Thanks. I look forward to a few dark and stormys too. 1 week to go🍸🍻🍷🍹

Thanks, quite like a ginger beer shandy, very refreshing 🍻

I suspect it may be a British thing. Stones (or at a push Crabbies) ginger wine. Quite sweet and fiery. Can be put in a whiskey mac

Slightly random question but does anyone know if the ship stocks ginger wine? Or ginger beer for that matter. Not ginger ale, totally different thing.

Pease, steak and kidney or queen of? 😂

That’s good to hear. As a Brit I found him very funny and approachable, his fiancé was a fantastic singer really friendly.

I really liked Nolan Deane but he seems to have left the company

We did Venice to Venice on silversea this October. Sailed out of and into fusina. Had to check in at the cruise terminal in Venice. Not a very pleasant experience. The cruise terminal is very run down and checking in was chaotic, no one knew what was going on, bags randomly left outside. 40 min coach drive to fusina to board the ship. Same thing in reverse when we returned. Not a great way to start a cruise

Again, thanks for your advice

Thanks flyertalker, that’s very clear except what is TBIT?

Thanks guys, yes I’ve seen the phone numbers but I would rather email but I haven’t seen any addresses

Thanks again all. Have been trying unsuccessfully to find contact details of hotels in Papeete to enquire about day passes but cannot find any emails for the hotels. Very frustrating. Does anyone have the email address for the Hilton, also any idea of the cost for a day pass? Second question, we fly into LA on a virgin/Air France flight then fly out on Air France to Papeete. Will we need to get our luggage and go through security again?

Thanks guys really helpful. Booked through oceania so I assume they must be ok with us flying in on the day. The boarding does sound a nightmare so I think I may do as jondfk suggests

Hi, guys, we are doing a cruise out of Papeete in April. Our flight is due to arrive about 5.30 am but boarding is at 1.00pm. What are the Oceania arrangements for this period? Thanks in advance for any info/advice Beardedshark

Passed this morning. What a relief (not passing but that the technology worked). Very smooth system really😀😀
