We have to stay overnight in Athens ( already booked a hotel ) because  there aren't direct flights from Athens to Toronto.... we fly to Frankfurt early the next morning to catch a flight to Toronto.

Finally found this rollcall - We're on the ship for the trip from Dubai right through to Malaga. We will stay over at Torremolinos at an Airbnb for a week and then rejoin the ship for the Morocco and Portugal trip. Travelled on Pullmantur a couple of years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ship furnishings were a bit tired but the the food and entertainment was great (although we didn't stick around for the stand-up comedian as we don't speak Spanish). Basic beverage package was fine especially as it also includes barista coffees. They do have theme nights for dinner but probably only half the people participate.

 

Questions - It's not clear which Petra tour the people here are going on, we would prefer to go with a larger group as we are told that small groups often have their tour cancelled. We are also keen on the Dhow trip in Khasab if there is still room.

Hi Rod and Jill, welcome.  Glad you found the roll call.

 

We’re also going all the way from Dubai to Malaga.  So nice to have some more folks continuing on, and checking into the boards.

 

Duncan ( Aussie cruiser) is a great organizer and has done his research extremely well.  We are so very appreciative of all his hard work.

 

Liz & Peter.

Thanks for the links Duncan. Contacted both Horizons and Khasab tours. Khasab are now quoting 150 AED pp (~41 USD) for the Dhow cruise. We will need to find some others for the Petra trip as we thought we would just do Petra. First option if others are interested would be Horizons but otherwise we will just book on the Wonders Tours and Travel group tour.

 

Thanks for the greetings, Duncan, Liz and Peter.

 

Good to see a number of people on here all sharing their knowledge. New to Cruise critic but have done 4 other cruises before this through VTG around the Med (NCL - 2, Costa and Pullmantur)

I've contacted Oman about you guys getting our group price...will let you know there reply.

 

We got a group price for minimum eight.

 

Our Petra tour goes yo Wadi Rum too,I've always wanted to see it after watching Laurance of Arabia.....our mini van only holds eight.

Private tour is over $100 cheaper p/p than Pullmantur...plus highly recommended by friends.

Hi Maria.

 

Hope you had a great cruise,WiFi was for sale on Pullmantur website & then they took it off.

 

There are  some  extra shore excursions added too...nothing to exciting.

thanks Duncan...we had a nice rest and now back to "reality" and very cold temperatures.... you could send some of the heat wave you are getting over this way ...lol... honestly I have never had that much trouble getting to or checking a cruiseline website.... Yes, they had the special on for the wifi and when I tried to book it, it disappeared !!! I just thought I would check again but i can't even get to their website....

Thanks Duncan, it may be that your Dhow is now full and they're setting up another group but hopefully we can squeeze in. We did look at doing the Wadi as well but thought we would concentrate on Petra. Will leave Petra for another week or two in case others want to join us for a private tour. The Wonders tour gets good reviews but is a big coach and presumably does a run around all the hotels before leaving. They also do a private tour from ships for $135 very up to 16 people but as yet they aren't organising one for our ship.

 

Yes, also saw that the wifi link had been taken down, we don't usually bother relying on catching up at each stop over a drink.

I apologize for not answering sooner.  I am firming up my choices for Dubai, Khasab and Salalah, and I did notice some price raising, which is not good.  From Dubai I am doing a 1/2 day tour to Abu Dhabi from the cruise terminal, probably on March 10. 

 

I have found extensive discussions on Pullmantur Horizon and ports of call on Tripadvisor--well worth scanning and reading pertinent topics.  TA also has some good posts on visiting Muscat (easy to DIY) and, of course, visits to Dubai.  Khasab and Salalah are still iffy, and I am probably going to see what tours will lurk at the dock when we get there.

I thought the Muscat tour through Pullmantur was good value,hopefully we can do some shopping at the souk afterwards. 

Salahah more than likely we'll go up to the Oasis club,not much time there with late arrival.

Great idea to visit Abu Dhabi,the mosque is most beatiful building I've seen.
