Lautoka, Fiji Islands

Sunday in this port and most of the shops were closed, with the exception of a couple of stores which all the passengers went to looking for things to buy. It was insane with so many people in a couple of stores that were open as they knew a cruise ship was in and opened their doors.

Noumea, New Caledonia

Visited the city which is clean. If you go to the passenger terminal in the heart of the city, you can easily find some really good tours if you haven't got anything already planned while here. The hop on-hop off bus was $10 Australian, for example.

Suva, Fiji

Hot with high humidity and a lot of rain. It was too humid for me, so stayed on the ship. I'm glad I stayed on the ship as many people returned on board soaking wet being caught in the rain. Saw beautiful views of the port from the ship though.

Adelaide, Australia

Home port but so much to do in Adelaide with lots of restaurants, wineries, the beach, shopping, something here for everyone.

Melbourne, Australia

Been to Melbourne a lot of times, so stayed in the cruise terminal due to having to go off the ship due to Immigration regulations for the face to passport check before heading off into international waters as international tourists.

Golden Princess

A cruise is what you make it.
