Traveller’s sometimes is not easy. When we arrived with all our stuff to the port of Mauritius. We were informed by the police at the port gate that the pier at the new cruise terminal is occupied by the other ship – Aida. Port authorities decided that our ship will be docked on the other side of the bay – in the commercial harbor. It means that you must cross the center of Saint Louis and make 4-kms loop to reach the other gate. In the heat! We did! And we were waiting few hours in the huge plastic tent for the check-in. Crowd, very bad organization. Nobody knows when and where to go… Shame on you, NCL! Finally at 2 pm sweaty I decided that I must do something, not just waiting for somebody to tell me… I was pushing the crowd to the table where some staff was sitting. Form, form… I got the exit form to fill. I gave it with the passport to the officer. She gavee the tablet to sign that I am not ill. Few minates later She gave me the cabin key. Then I went to the other long line on the pier to board
The ship. Our inside cabin is quite comfortable. From the open deck there is great view of Port Saint Louis surrounded by the mountains. Even at the sunset the other passengers were waiting in those tent… Finally we sailed out…
