Free shuttle into Noumea from the Cruise Port @julescruisecompanion
The Cruise Companies offer a complimentary shuttle service into Noumea as we berth in an active cruise terminal. Members of the public can not move unescorted through the dock area.
The shuttle is ideal for visitors looking to explore Noumea without the expense of paid excursions.
The shuttle takes passengers to the Old Ferry Terminal in Noumea.
The route passes through the active cruise port and past the Maritime Museum.
A short distance from the shuttle stop (approximately 400 meters or less than a kilometer) is a large white-roofed building, which is the Old Ferry Terminal.
Around the Old Ferry Terminal, there is a Coconut Plaza area with various shops, patisseries, and souvenir stores.
On the 2nd level of the Old Ferry Terminal, local artisans and vendors sell both locally crafted and mass-produced items, some featuring "Noumea" branding.
Passengers can disembark and explore the town at their leisure.
The shuttle service offers a convenient return trip to the port, running every 10 minutes.
This means visitors can spend an hour or more in Noumea without incurring additional costs.
The option to explore Noumea is available whether the cruise stop is short (e.g., four hours) or longer (e.g., six or eight hours).
Visitors can interact with locals and experience the French Caledonian culture.
The shuttle service enhances flexibility for cruise passengers.
The Old Ferry Terminal serves as a hub for shopping and cultural experiences.
Passengers can find a variety of souvenirs and local products.
The shuttle service is a budget-friendly way to enjoy Noumea's attractions.
Passengers can say "bonjour" and interact with locals during their visit.
The service allows tourists to experience the charm of Noumea without pre-booking costly excursions.
The shuttle service adds convenience and accessibility to the cruise experience.

    We also usually give $10 per day in tips. I know it’s difficult for Australians to do that, it’s not really in our culture. Truly these people work long and hard hours for their money, and Jules is 100% correct, many are also working for their village community. Try and remember their names, say hello, you will be rewarded with the biggest smile. A lot of passengers, treat them as faceless people, and they are not. If you feel one person stands out, mention them by name in your survey, it helps them to be singled out and move up the ladder. They are all trying their very best to help you, sometimes under difficult conditions.

    I had to look it up. Thats only $66 American dollars (roughly). We were on a 15 day cruise last month. We don't do the "mandatory" tips so we tip our steward and wait staff individually. We tipped each $450 for the entire cruise. They were very good to us.

      Longer cruises offer a greater opportunity to get to know the room stewards. If I frequent a bar and get great service, I tip. On longer cruises I often tip on the first day or so, then more each fee days over the cruise.

    That's a great amount to tip ❤❤ we have always had 2 cabin stewards and we usually tip them $20 each, but maybe we are tipping way too low. They always seem really happy to get the money though ❤❤ our first ever cruise we only gave them $10 each as had no idea what we should give. Maybe we can increase it again on our cruise in November ❤

      According to the P&O website Self-service laundryAll laundries onboard are open from 7:30am - 10pm. The sample costs for this service are: $3.50 per wash cycle. $3.50 for the dryer per cycle. For the ships laundry service, there is a laundry bag and price list in your wardrobe. You just fill in the form, and they'll come and pick it up and deliver it back to your cabin at a per item price. On longer cruises, some companies have a wash and fold offer, where you fill a paper laundry bag for around $20.

    Who did you use for your travel insurance?

    • @julescruisecompanion
      @julescruisecompanion 6 місяців тому

      I continue to find 1Cover in my price range. I often do a comparison with other providers, but always come back to 1Cover. I always get South Pacific Cruise coverage because reading the PDS, there is no medical cover for domestic cruises.

      @@julescruisecompanion thank you for your reply. We used to use 1cover but discovered that it there is an excess of $3000 if over 81 so now changed to Cover-More which is more expensive due to pre-existing conditions.

      @@SoniaJager Pre-existing conditions increase the premiums horribly. I did notice an increase in the excess probably because I am still under 60 (just). Calculating the excess when making a claim could still be more economical that the out of pocket expenses if you didn't have any insurance cover at all. I advocate for travel insurance that suits a person's individual needs is important. Stay Safe, Happy Travels

    I got you beat!! My first cruise was the summer of my first year in college…1971. The Mardi Gras…Carnival’s FIRST SHIP!! I cruised from Norfolk, Va to the Bahamas. In 2023, my 30 yr old son & I cruised 7 times & I went on my 2nd Trans Atlantic from NJ to Rome in May of 2023 w a gal pal friend. My son cruises to meet good looking women & I cruise to relax, read, visit fun & historic destinations AND eat different cuisines! In 3 weeks, I go on another TA from NJ to Southampton, England. My son’s first 12 night TA… we will be stopping in Madeira, Portugal, La Coruna, Spain & Le Harve, France. I’ve got reservations in 3 Michelin restaurants…and we are so excited! I enjoy your videos!

      What a great example that cruising can have a different experience for everyone. I love TransAtlantic cruises. Madera has such great architecture and history. Have an amazing cruise.

    Aww..don't let the haters get to you.. Personally I feel cruising post covid on all lines Carnival, RC, Celeb ( older ships),princess etc have gone downhill in quality,services ,behavior of passengers.. While increasing prices & mega ships that don't even feel like ships anymore 😢. We've backed off alot this yr. Agree Petra amazing as well as Ephesus in turkey.. Good luck w ur health & remaining trips..thank you❤

      Cruises will nickle & dime everybody these days. The food is so blah now, that I usually lose about 5 lbs on a 10 day trip. I eat better…salads…and I eat less. Once upon a time, the food on ships was outstanding & served past midnight. Now, the only food after 9:30p is Pizza. Cheese or pepperoni.

    Just finished a Carnival cruise and won't be back. I'll keep trying with other lines but I wonder if cruising has changed across the board. My reasons may be different than yours but cruising is rapidly losing it's shine for our family.
