Wir sind mit unseren beiden Kids auch dabei

Ok, korrigiere mich selbst: Eure Route ist in der Tat etwas anders als unsere!!

Hallo zusammen,

wir machen diese Kreuzfahrt 2 Wochen nach euch.

Jetzt muss ich mal Fragen: In Mumbai ist man doch etwas länger, oder?

Zitat von perlenfee

Wenn Abreise um 18 Uhr, heißt es pünktlich 17.30 Uhr alle Mann an Bord. Da darf dann aber kein Verkehrsstau dazwischen kommen, oder jemand verliert die Gruppe in der Markthalle oder der Bus ist nicht pünktlich an der Abfahrtsstelle. Ich will euch keine Angst machen, aber mir persönlich wäre ein Ausflug, der genau zu der Zeit endet, wo alle an Bord sein müssen zu heikel.

New Mangalore habe ich über AIDA gebucht.

Also bei mir steht im Aida Portal Mumbai 04.03. 8:00 bis 05.03. 9:00
Ist das falsch, oder ist eure Route etwas anders als unsere?

Grüße
Roman

Ich habe leider nur die alte Beschreibung von Goa Magic bekommen.
Also die Elefanten gibt es nicht mehr, aber anstelle dieser, wird ein Strand besucht.

Various local birds are also sighted at the plantation.The plantation also offers elephant rides and elephant bathing.

Gibt es eigentlich schon Neuigkeiten zum Fan-Treffen?

Wie viele Personen sind es inzwischen?

Nordsee + Sturmtief Egon

EDIT: Upps, falscher Threat. Einfach nicht beachten....

ok, dann ist Option I bis auf einen Platz schon voll, oder?

wir sind 10 Personen -> 2550 Rupien / Person

Falls es Einwände gibt, einfach nochmal kurz hier melden.

@Immerfernweh: Welche Tour hast du bei Goa-Magic gebucht?

@Nessaja11: Ich denke man kann Option I auch mit einem Strandbesuch verbinden.
Goa Magic schlägt dies sogar selbst vor:

Zitat von Goa Magic

...
Other ideas:
- A visit to a Hindu temple to see the local architectural styles and prayer rituals. Hindus form the majority of the Goan population (around 70%), and the temple is a good way to see the “inner life” and rituals of this community.
- If you are interested, you can also visit a popular local beach in Goa, before being dropped back at the ship.
- Those interested in museums may visit the Museum of Christian Art in Goa or the State Museum.
- If you would like to go shopping for handicrafts, please let the guide know.

@Julia80: Du hast recht. "raided" ist nicht gleich "roden" (immer diese "false friends")

Ich habe inzwischen auch die Antwort von Parveen bekommen:
Die Gewürzplantage existiert noch, es wurden nur die Elefanten weggenommen.

OK, aber welche Option würdet Ihr bevorzugen?
Wer hätte etwas gegen Option I?

PS: Haben auch unsere Kabine zugeteilt bekommen: Deck 6

Bzgl. Goa:
Ich habe eine Antwort von Goa-Magic bekommen:

Zitat von Goa Magic

Hi,

Yes the Elephants have been replaced with beach visit as the Spice plantation has been raided by the forest department and the elephants have been taken away.

Do you want to do option 1 group tour or option 2 private tour?

Regards
Parveen

So wie ich das lese, ist die ganze Gewürzplantage, die ja auch Teil der Tour gewesen wäre, gerodet worden.
Ich habe jetzt einfach nochmal zurück gefragt, wie die Tour denn dann genau aussieht.

Wäre aber Option I ggf. auch OK für euch?

Potentielle Teilnehmer wären bis jetzt:
Wir: 4 Personen
@Mariosa 2 Personen
@Nessaja 2 Personen
@Franzi2203 2 Personen

Wir wären somit 10Personen => 2550 Rupien / Person

Dann wären aktuell potentielle Teilnehmerfür Goa:
Wir: 4 Personen
Mariosa 2 Personen
Nessaja 2 Personen?

Habe die Leute von Magic tours nochmal angeschrieben. Sobald ich was weiß, melde ich mich wieder.

Uhhh, danke für die Info.
Das macht Option II natürlich nicht mehr so interessant.

Dann wäre ich eher Option I zu haben

EDIT: Naja obwohl. Eigentlich klingt beides gleich gut...

Das stand in der Antwortmail von Goa-Magic

Zitat von Goa-Magic

OPTION - I - GOA PAST AND PRESENT - We will make a German speaking group of 16 people for this option.
Description:
What this tour is about: This is a tour of Panjim (the current capital of Goa), combined with a visit to ‘Velha Goa’ or Old Goa (the previous capital). The tour covers some of the popular tourist must-see’s in Goa, including a heritage walk in the interesting Latin quarter of Panjim. It also includes a visit to a temple, as well as a vibrant and colorful traditional bazaar to experience the bustle of daily life in Goa.

Background: Goa was among the most important centres of the ancient and medieval world, trading in calico, spices, precious metals and many other goods. It has been under various Hindu dynasties for most of its history, with a brief period under Muslim rulers. When the Portuguese arrived in Goa, it was under the Muslim Bahmani empire. The Portuguese defeated the Bahmanis and conquered Goa in 1510; thus beginning 450 years of Christian rule. This rule ended when in 1961, the Indian army marched into Goa, and overthrew the Portuguese. These historical events have left their mark on Goa, influencing not only religion and architecture, but also the language, dress, cuisine and lifestyle of Goans. On this tour, you will see not only Goa’s interesting monuments, but also its diverse cultures.

What the tour covers:
The tour includes the following (there will be a break for lunch in between):
- A drive to the top of a hill for a panoramic view of Goa. Here, our guide will show you the layout of the land, highlighting the rivers, islands, transport systems, and providing an overview of life in Goa.
- A visit to the churches of Old Goa, the “Rome of the East”, which was the administrative seat of the Portuguese. We will visit Se Cathedral (the seat of theArchbishop of Goa), and the Basilica of Bom Jesus which contains the body of Saint Francis Xavier, the Jesuit missionary who was canonised in 1622.
- A brief walk through the heritage district of Fontainhas – this is a residential area, the Latin quarter of Panjim where the traditional colourful houses of the Catholic and Hindu community are still preserved. Here you will see the original fountain after which the area was named. Life in this old quarter still continues its sleepy ways.
- Bazaar walk through the bustling Panjim fish and vegetable market – this is a large colourful market where you can see all sorts of interesting things on offer, including household wares, spices, fish, meat, vegetables and many other goods. It’s a great way to see daily life in Goa!

Other ideas:
- A visit to a Hindu temple to see the local architectural styles and prayer rituals. Hindus form the majority of the Goan population (around 70%), and the temple is a good way to see the “inner life” and rituals of this community.
- If you are interested, you can also visit a popular local beach in Goa, before being dropped back at the ship.
- Those interested in museums may visit the Museum of Christian Art in Goa or the State Museum.
- If you would like to go shopping for handicrafts, please let the guide know.

Duration: We suggest that we pick you from at the ship at 10:00 a.m. and drop you back after the tour around 4:00p.m. and cover as much as we can in the duration available, based on your interests. This is a private tour and open to modifications.

Cost and Inclusions:
The prices for a tour of Goa are as follows:
Rs 2550 per person per day for a group of 9-15 people
Rs 2750 per person per day for a group of 7-8 people
Rs 3350 per person per day for a group of 5-6 people

Ich habe die Leute von Magic Tours auch schon bzgl. Goa angeschrieben.

Es werden zwei Touren angeboten:
OPTION - I - GOA PAST AND PRESENT
OPTION - II - SPICE PLANTATION, TEMPLES AND ELEPHANTS

Wäre jemand bei Option II mit dabei?
Wir wären 4 Personen.
Wäre cool wenn mind. 9 Leute zusammenkommen, denn dann ist es am günstigsten...

(Würden uns ggf. auch bei Option I anschließen, wenn daran mehr Interesse besteht)

OK, dann wird das wohl auch das gewesen sein, was ich gelesen habe.
Würde trotzdem gerne eine weitere Bestätigung haben.

Mhh, und Aida selbst bietet einen Ausflug an, der bis 22:15 dauert....

Habe irgendwo gelesen, dass das Hafengelände in Mumbai um 22Uhr schließt und erst um 8Uhr wieder öffnet.
Kann das jemand bestätigen? Wäre echt schade...

Wisst ihr eigentlich die genauen Liegezeiten in Mumbai?

Irgendwie widersprechen sich bei mir die Angaben auf der AIDA Homepage und MyAida?
