If you are looking for a snorkelling experience in Luganville, this is the one. It’s expensive for what it is, but you get to experience a wide variety of coral, fish and other marine life, including things I’ve never seen when snorkelling anywhere else. Luganville is located on the largest island in Vanuatu, Espiritu Santo,
Princess and often visit Luganville in Vanuatu, Royal Caribbean though doesn’t usually go there as part of their scheduled itineraries. We were cruising with Royal Caribbean on Explorer of the Seas when we were diverted to Luganville due to inclement weather at Mystery Island. After speaking to other people, it seems this is a regular
Ocean cruising is absolutely brilliant. There is so much to see and do, and in many ways, the ship is as much the destination as the ports you are stopping in to see. However, this can give rise to FOMO, the fear of missing out. When that happens, before you know it you’ve gained 5kg’s,

Let’s just say, it isn’t cheap, and you can only withdraw USD. If you think ATM fees in Australia are bad, think again. The ATM’s on board Royal Caribbean ships (or at least all the ones I’ve been on) charge a fee of USD$6.50. As far as I am aware, this fee applies to all cards.
Sometimes it is a real pain not knowing how much services will be on board a cruise ship. So hopefully you will find this price list from Royal Caribbean’s Radiance of the Seas taken on board a Transpacific cruise from Sydney to Hawaii in April 2017.
