Fiji Cruise Day 1 - Modriki Island

Friday - 1st Night:

We boarded Blue Lagoon Cruises! Set sail on M.V.Fiji Princess from Port Denarau for outer Mamanucas.

Our first stop was secluded location at Modriki, which was the location for the Tom Hanks movie CastAway. J9 and I attempted to reach the west side of the island for the sunset, but couldn't reach it by foot. Walking back to the boat we found we were the remaining few folks on the island, so we're happy they had a list of everyone that left the boat. Regretfully I didn't get a chance to go for a swim.

The Captain's Welcome Dinner was a bust since the AC on the boat was not working :(

Seems the scheduled entertainment also didn't happen, but we talked the bartender to into including the local rum into the free drinks for the night. Happy days :)

Regarding the AC, they were on their game as a boat with a mechanic arrived that evening to fix the AC. Must admit, had my doubts the AC was going to be fixed and was making plans to sleep on the deck.Läs mer
