Suva Cruise Reviews

Suva is average. ...

Walk into town, do a little shopping. Buy some locally made ear rings, walk in the markets. Beware of pick pockets or cut bag snatchers in the market. Be safe and aware. Marvel at the old buses. It was raining but enjoy regardless. Shuttle to town. ...

Rained all day so just walked around, still very busy and pick pockets everywhere. ...

Took the shuttle into the city and took a guided tour from the shore for $25 AUS each compared to the similar Princess tour which was $149 each ...

Beware there are people that come out when cruise ships are in town and want you to do their tours (and charge a huge amount) We went with a company that was set up at the wharf.

Was taken to a village where we were told we had to pay extra to enter this village - even though we were ...

Horrible - why would this be a port on a cruise? Scammers following you everywhere. Disgusting!! ...

There is really nothing in Suva - spent 1 hour walking around and retreated to the boat ...

They were hard to get rid of. Went back to the ship after a short while as there was nothing of interest for us any more. ...

Suva was a disappointment. We did see the real Fiji, which is OK, but it was not the island paradise we expected. Either have the expectations of the poverty that exists in Fiji or take a trip to the other side of the island. ...

Locals had arranged welcome music and dancing but then the rain arrived so visit spoiled by pouring rain ...
