Fiji: matial law declared

[mipps]

Things in Fiji are going downhill again. If you have a cruise or air stopover just keep an eye on the situation. Make sure your travel insurance is still going to cover you for deviations or evacuation in this uncertain political climate.

Hoping to do the week cruise next December with Blue Lagoon. Hope all is well soon!! Please let me know how your trip went, weather, etc!!

you will be fine eh2zed. I am envious of your 3 days in paradise

 

princess: December is cyclone/wet season and the warmest time of year. We did a christmas holiday there one year and it rained a little late afternoon most days but it did not put a damper on our holiday one little bit.

 

Fijians are one of the most friendliest people on this planet. I went for a walk along a road away from the resort one day and could hear BULA!! (hello) and friendly waves from nearly every house i passed

 

I wonder where cruise companies draw the line as Suva is one of the main ports of call?
