Royal's ships 2023/24

[arxcards]

There will be no visits to New Caledonia this season. It is bollocks for the cruise lines to continue waiting till after final payment before announcing their itinerary changes. They already know they aren't calling there, but don't want to risk too many cancellations.

Agree Cheryle, we were at Luganville early in the year and been a couple of times before. It has really improved tourist wise.

The markets at the dock have a great selection, the taxi's tours are well organised. 

We walked to town this time, went to a little cafe and had iced coffee and used their wifi, found a new bar/restaurant near the water on a back street, outdoors, sand floor, music, toilets ( a big plus!)  it was near the water, great little spot to chill.

Last trip there we got a boat over to Aore Island (contacted them first), snorkelled, had lunch, swam, you can see this island from the ship in port.

Done Million Dollar Point, blues holes, so much to see if you don't just walk around town then complain there is nothing there haha!! Next time we go perhaps a taxi out to Champagne Bay.

Hope you are ok Chez. We were just talking about you this morning.We went to Chop n Chill for breakfast and were discussing the get together you organised a few years ago. If we get to Luganville again, we might go over to Aore Island as I saw the resort on I think it was Travel Guides.
