I finally found this video on RUclips, which I had been seeking for for a long time. It will undoubtedly assist me in planning my cruise vacation. Thanks! 🙂🙂
What kind of shore excursion did you guys opt for? We are travelling next week as couple and 2 kids aged 3 and 8 years... I am not sure what type of excursion is kid friendly.. Is there a way we can book a basic excursion package and do activities paying on the spot may be?
Hi, our visit was just after Covid so most of the water activity stalls at the beach were closed, we had to prebook from the cruise itself...for kids of that age only glass bottom boat ride & kayaking would be possible probably...however the beach itself is so so clean, beautiful and serene, frankly our kid Samaira was just happy to play and enjoy in the water and sand :)
Hi. Thank you, thank you,.thank you so much for the comment ❤️ so glad you liked it 😊 Ref your query, yes we did carry the electric kettle along as my baby was quite small and we needed it for sterilization.. Salon / spa services are slightly premium, rates could be similar to an Enrich / Juice salon!! Hope we have answered your query, feel free to write back if you have any other doubts 🙂
Hi - Can you please help me with below details ? 1. How much do I need ro carry in cash USD or they accept cards everywhere ? 2. Is the alcohol reasonable? 3. How much old RTPCR is valid ?
Hi Keyur, cards are accepted there is no need for cash except at the Casino..at the Casino only cash is accepted, even INR will do, no specific need for USD.. Alcohol is quite reasonable.. RTPCR report is valid for 48hrs from time of test..
RTPCR report should be 48hr before or can be 72hrs before? Also.. you mentioned, @ 3:50 you mentioned check out ??! is it during check in or they do RTPCR during check out as well??
Hi.. RTPCR should be 48hrs prior to checkin.. During CHECKOUT also we were asked to show the final vaccination certificate..those who didn't posses it were asked to undergo the test.. hope we have answered your query, if you still have any questions please feel free to write back.. 🤗

Your video is very informative. Thanks for sharing. We are booked already in the month of December. I want to know how get RTPCR report for return journey? Where to get test done and how long it will take to get reports?
Hi Deepthi, firstly thanks a ton for sharing your feedback, it really means a lot... 😊 For return journey you don't need a RTPCR report just soft / hard copy of final vaccination certificate..
Can anyone kindly let me know what's the package including GST etc.,for Cordelia Cruise per person for Mumbai↔️GOA↔️Lakshadweep↔️Kochi ↔️Mumbai,in the lowest room category tariff?Thanks in advance🙏😊
Hi Virat, prices keep changing based on season and demand, better you check them out at official website, www.cordeliacruises.com, pls compare prices with travel partners like thomascook, yatra, akbartravels etc
Thank you. This is very informative. So, there is no package where they just drop you off to the beach and let kids run around and have fun instead of those factory visits 😂 One quick question, they mentioned we need to do a web checkin 72 hours prior and need to upload RTPCR test on web check-in. Also, the RTPCR test needs to be 48 hours before traveling. So how to upload RTPCR test before 72 hours for web check-in? Did you get it done twice ?
1. Thank you so much. Your feedback really motivates me! 2. As soon as you are onboard, contact the "shore excursions desk" near the reception. They may help you with a custom package. 3. You can do the web check-in post receiving the RT-PCR report, it's not mandatory to do it 72hrs prior
@@ola_sam One quick question.. the RTPCR Test , were you asked to upload during web checkin? I checked with customer care and they are not giving consistent answer .. one says yes and one said no, it's required at Port ? Were the RTPCR tests QR code scanned on the port ? Asking to know whether I have to take a print out or just the digital report on mobile will do ?
@@biswas5915 Hi Ritu, we had to upload the report and also carry a soft copy as it was checked at port.. However, there was no QR code scanning.. Just keep the soft copy, it should do.. Also, pls keep the soft copy of final vaccination certificate handy too, its required during checkout..

@@anusha712 there are no service charges, (gratuity - sorry didn't get that, could you elaborate pls ) primarily the additional charges are for spa, offshore excursions and casino, all of which is optional
@@ola_sam Gratuity is tips for the crew. The waiting staff, people who conduct programme, etc. In USA cruises, for example they charge a default tip of $12-15 per person per night.
Hi, yes we paid Rs.40,000 per person for 5night trip.. prices could vary based on destination and season too.. In case you have not already booked, would suggest you to compare prices with other routes too once..
