thied Posted August 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2010 from what I have read ( P&O normaly put on a beach bbq for lunch and there are mini market stalls,make sure you take reef shoes as the island is mainly coral and it's impossible to walk on without shoes.You can snorkel, go on island tours some times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yatchet Posted August 3, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Poum/Emerald bay, not much to do but a pretty place to visit and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseW827 Posted August 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2010 My favourite port on the 2 cruises I have done so far. We loved it there we swam and relaxed all day and P&O put on a fantastic BBQ lunch hotdogs and hamburgers with loads of salads and fruit. They take a bar over with some cocktails and beer and wine. We really had an awesome day I would go back in a heart beat. Snorkelling is really nice there. Lots of big blocks of reefs you can swim between. Someone on our cruise saw a reef shark but that was way down on the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyrules Posted August 3, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2010 This was taken at Divine Island in November 2004. There's 2 parts to the stop at Emerald Bay; The township of Poum & Divine Island. Unless it's changed since 2005, you can only go to Poum on organised shore tours. At Divine Island the ship puts on a bbq and entertainment on the beach - there's not really much else to do. Snorkelling is apparently good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushtail Posted August 3, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for posting the vid, Kym. Loved it. It's hard to head off to work on a winter's morning when I want to pack up my snorkelling gear and head down to the tender station ready for a day on the island. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
