Yes P&O offer cheap cruises but,then the drinks then the food add on's end up costing over $2k

Was this you first time cruising with Royal Princess, was travel insurance a must and what port did they leave from
@WalksForYouАй бұрын
Hi Jennifer, Yes it was my first time on Royal Princess. Travel insurance was highly recommended from all the T&Cs I read. I paid $71.84 for myself and my partner with InsureandGo Australia. At the checkin, the staff usually just have a quick glimpse and let us through. These were the ports: Sydney Mystery Island Suva Dravuni Island Lautoka Noumea

I was on this ship May 2024 for Alaskan cruise. There was no pizza or actual cakes at the buffet like this video shows, just tiny shot glasses with morsels of cake. And there was 1 ice cream machine near the pool for 4500 people on the ship, the line for it was an hour long. The steaks in main dining were 1/4" thick. I had beef tenderloin one night, it was the size of a playing card and so thin I could see light through it. The breakfast buffet was good and had nice variety but the lunch buffet was disappointing. It was the first cruise I've taken where I think I actually lost weight.

Cela semble impressionnant, mais j'habite Paris, et par rapport à Steel Vengence ou même en Europe, à Voltron d'Europa Park, voire The Tower of Terror de Disneyland, c'est certainement moins fort ! Néanmoins, je pense que j'apprécierais les sensations quand-même, et que je le referais plusieurs fois tout comme debout dans les ascenseurs rapides de gratte-ciels, ou les pylônes du téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi de Chamonix, où beaucoup de gens crient aussi comme dans une attraction !
@user-fr9di7ic5e3 ай бұрын
Yes totally worth it coz you paid the driver $150 for each car! You wouldn’t mind paying $150 for a short ride if that was Australia or New Zealand. That’s $150 divided by 5 hours. $30 an hour for a private tour. That’s CHEAP!!! And for $5 at the Nadi temple. You missed out on amazing wall artwork. It’s the biggest Hindu temple in the southern hemisphere

Great video and a great deal for you too! I wish I could tolerate inside cabins. Having a balcony for me adds so much to my cruise that the savings attributed to inside cabins just don't resonate with me. Maybe for a 3 or 4-night cruise, but not for a 12-day cruise. Interesting how the Rooftop Garden plants stay covered for Australia/NZ cruises. I imagine that would take away from the otherwise lush and green appearance of the area. Too bad.

If you're fit and healthy, it should be a nice relaxing walk to all the snorkeling spots. I didn't go to the other side of the island, but according to the map, there's fish. It might be less crowded too. Or you can try the far right once you get off the pier. That's where I went. On the left of the pier, there's no fish. Map says there's no fish there too.

All the fruits and vegetables are organically grown the black round shells you saw in the Suva market those are fresh water shells you put them in the pot with little water and cook for 10 to 15 minutes as soon as you see them open up you remove them from the pot and you squeeze a little lemon and bit of chillie pepper you remove them from the shells and stir fry them with butter and garlic they are very delicious Fijian people shouldn't be hungry they are so rich in so many things either on the land or sea they can find food anywhere ocean or river.

@@dylancoleman124 Hi Dylan, That's the cascade waterfalls (or Melee cascades) in Port Vila. The rope is right at the end of the walk. You can swing and jump down, but just make sure you're a strong swimmer. Looking back, I don't think it's that safe to be honest! After jumping down, and swimming back to shore, there are some large rocks underneath. Just swim slowly and swim with the tide. The turtle place was called The Reef Vanuatu Zoological. Its on most of the brochures when we arrived at the port. It's like a small sanctuary. And the blue sunken hole, we just passed by so we could cool off. I think there are a few different ones around Port Vila You should be able to hit all 3 places in 3-4 hours. Then head back to the ship for a nice feast :-) Keep in mind, you have to pay entry fees at each place. I can't remember the exact cost, but you're looking at $10-$20/person

I always travel with my partner so I guess it was $66/night for both of us. Ozcruising probably isn't the best site to use if you're traveling solo. Other sites may have more options, but traveling solo in 1 cabin will generally cost more. Prices will also depend on the season and availability of each cruise. Just need to keep an eye on it each week to see if the prices change or drop.

I'll be sailing on her in October, just a short 4 nighter. We must remember it's a budget cruise line, so with a relatively lower fare there are fewer inclusions. Compare the price of a similar cruise on Princess, RCL, HAL, NCL, etc. I've tried the free pizza on Carnival, and i wouldn't feed them to my dog, they are horrible IMO. They make Dominos look gourmet. I'm going on board knowing it's a budget line and setting my expectations accordingly, plus cost cutting, especially on food, is industry wide, not just P&O Australia. Otherwise she looks like a lovely ship, and I'm sure I can readily gorge myself on free food...not that I eat much haha.
