It was amazing meeting you two. It's, kind always nice to come say hello you too and have a chat which made my day fun :) I am the boy Cameron who said "hello" to you guys, I hope you enjoy your cruise, also your happy 50th wedding anniversary keep up with the video bye :)
Happy Anniversary you two kids! Gigi and I are actually looking at more cruises down-under. Would so love to spend more time with you guys! Peace be with you friends! Love the video!
We didn’t get to Vava’u due to rough seas for the tenders, so popped in to see what you experienced. We didn’t do Suva either on our cruise. Lucky to get into Norfolk Island which I loved. They are not leaving from where I am, Melbourne, in the future either.
wow I thought you two had given up doing videos and am delighted to find this one and more ! It has been 6 years since I did my twelfth cruise, looking forward to getting back to it , Happy 50th wedding anniversary PS This was my very first ship when she was the Dawn Princess
Hi, just finished watching your video, an would like to ask a few questions, as i am about to do virtually the same cruise on the pacific adventure ( old golden princess ) my favourite ship… next month…..when u arrived at nuku alofu, and vava u..did u do local tours or through the ship? Do they take our currency, or do i need to get some of there’s and if so, where can i get it.. on princess cruises they supply a free shuttle into town at lautoka, so its very rude that p &o charge…. Our fist port of call will be Norfolk island, ( IF we get to go ashore) i have booked a car to drive myself around, im just a bit nervous as will be on my own, so hope places are easy enough to find…and lastly… whats the wait time like to get the shuttle back to the ship, as i saw a video where the line up was disgusting, with heaps of people standing in line waiting… i cant stand for long as i have arthritis in my lower spine and my back throbs.. i cant wait to go swimming again at drqvuni island, love that place as well as mystery island and champagne bay..❤❤ thanks in advance 👍
Hi.We are only too happy to answer your questions. In Nukualofa and Vava'u we walked around as we had taken tours there previously. In each port you can get a local tour on the pier and pay cash in AUD. They are about half the price of the same tour if bought on the ship. (The ship tours sell out quickly but there were plenty on offer on the pier). Yes, P&O charges $20 for a shuttle into Lautoka. We walked it in about 20 minutes. Lautoka is good for shops but otherwise there isn't anything touristy to see. Again the main tours are available on the pier and can be paid in AUD. Norfolk Island is extremely easy to get around in a car. They give you a map and it would be impossible to get lost. (Hope you do get in.) Wait times to get back to the ship from the tenders have never been a problem for us. If you let them know your concerns they will surely look after you. Dravuni is very much like Mystery Island and Champagne Bay. Gorgeous places!! Hope this helps. Have a great cruise
@@calros3 ive been to all the places except norfolk and tonga. duno about driving and reading a map at the same time, as sailing solo.. have done lots of cruising, and have just booked to do n.z again in january on princess. which is my first choice of cruise lines
It is a short walk to town. We walked through the town to the Church and then explored on foot. We asked about swimming and were told the beach is too far to walk.
Thanks for the video. I would have loved to take this cruise so have enjoyed living vicariously through your video.
Happy 50th anniversary
I went to Fiji on Pacific Explorer last year. I’ve also enjoyed Tonga and Norfolk Island. Thanks for the memories and happy 50th anniversary.
