        IgluCruise.Application.ViewModels.Shared.WebImageViewModel?.Description
        Fiji Museum

        The capital city and largest metropolitan area in Fiji, Suva is a destination worth looking forward to when you’re exploring Australasia and the Pacific Ocean. Here, you’ll find an abundance of vibrant culture, sensational cuisine, and unforgettable adventures. Its importance to the region around it, though, cannot be understated; Suva is the socioeconomic centre of the South Pacific, and is slowly cementing itself as the region’s fashion capital too! So, you’ll really be able to enjoy the best of the best when visiting this fascinating city. Those who want to stay where the action is, you’ll find Suva home to lively marketplaces and several fascinating museums, alongside plenty of places to tuck into some flavourful local food. Beyond this, though, you’ll find so much more to enjoy; the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park is just one of these destinations – but, perhaps, the best for those with limited time in the capital city. A luscious nature reserve just a short distance from Suva, the hiking routes here are exceptional; and, if you want, you’ll be able to swim and bird-watch here too. However you feel like spending your time, you’re in for a real treat when Suva is on your itinerary.

        Dravuni Island Village

        A stunning volcanic island in Fiji, which is also part of the fascinating Great Astrolabe Reef, Dravuni Island is an idyllic paradise where unrivalled adventure and ultimate relaxation await. With a permanent population of just 125, this miniscule island doesn’t even cover an area of one square-kilometre; it really doesn’t get more remote, and more unspoilt, than this. Boasting long stretches of white-sand beaches, sparkling crystal-clear waters, and the opportunity to truly disconnect from the outside world, it can’t be overstated just how incredible this port of call is. Here, you’ll enjoy an authentic Fijian experience, and find picture-perfect views everywhere you look. It’s like stepping into a postcard, in the best possible way.

The ship is beautiful the atrium and staircase is stunning. The food was plentiful fresh and always well presented in the the horizon buffet. The main dining room service was excellent and vast range of dishes for all every night. With Princess favourite available as standard 3 starters and mains. The ship was very clean and staff always greeted us with a smile. I have been on 15 cruises ( 5 different lines) and the Royal Princess ship is one of my favourites.

Positive points: Plus package is excellent and gives you the option to pay the difference for a premium drink. Menus are very clear as to what is or isn’t included. Excursions were expensive but very well organised. Overall entertainment was OK with the house band Dynamix the pick of the options. Friendly crew. Negative points; we cruised on Royal Princess in 2018 and at that time she was our favourite ship. 8 years on we felt that a referees was required. The sofa in our cabin was worn out and uncomfortable, there are no USB points in the cabin and there is a shower curtain rather than a glass door. None of these are terrible but many of the newer ships make Royal Princess seem a bit tired. We thought the medallion was just a gimmick. Yes it opens your door and I guess it helps the staff at the restaurant identify who is waiting in line. However, if you order a drink you still have to give your room number and the service is definitely slowed by the medallion. We waited for 25 minutes for a drinks order at Crooners, we waited an hour on another occasion for a drink at the Horizon bar and nothing turned up at all. We had instances where the app said our drinks had been delivered when they clearly had not. Trying to get a drink at the bar was very difficult. Staff didn’t know who was next in line and took ages to get served. Food was ok but not very imaginative! We prefer NCL, Celebrity and Princess in that order. Food choices on NCL are far more varied and they have far more speciality restaurants. On Riyal Princess Sabatini’s always had spaces so didn’t appear to be that popular. Ocean Terrace was virtually empty for the whole cruise. Finally, the descriptions for the excursions could be more helpful. One of the excursions we went on claimed that there was a transfer by ferry. The ferry turned out to be a small motor boat which took 10 people. You had to walk in to the sea and climb on board. This was ok for us but others could have struggled.
