Sailing from Easter Island

1. What are repositioning cruises?
2. What kind of ship did you travel on?
3. Where did you end up after 11 days?

Not OP, but repositioning cruises are when companies move their ships to a different port at the start or end of the season. They sell discounted one-way tickets do they don't lose money on the fuel costs.

yep, like the guy above me said.

about the ship, i remember it was around 270 meters, had like a 2000+ passenger capacity but i think there were only around 800 passengers during our crossing.

its like any typical cruise, with the massive pools, the jacuzzis, the gym, the clubs. there was even a paddle tennis cage, a ping pong table, and a climbing wall. first cruise of my life so i was properly impressed. i also had my own cabin and the drinks and food were unlimited. my days were spent gorging on food, going to the gym, and hanging out with this dude who taught capoeira lol. there was so much free time and obviously no interrnet, so a lot of random people taught random stuff during lulls in the the ship's "program". also, some french dudes brought a fuckton of acid on board and shared it with a lot of peeps. that was a crazy night. almost every night was, really.

we ended up in salvador de bahia after 9 days but i got off further south at santos, 2 days after.

Thanks. That sounds amazing. I feel like a person that has just discovered bumsex after never knowing it existed. Can't believe I have never thought of the concept.

Do any cruise ships have satellite internet? I would not mind going on that 40+ day Valparaiso to Singapore, or 26 day Cape Town to Hong Kong route, as long as I could take care of biz for an hour a day.

Most do, but bandwidth is limited, reception is spotty and it's not a free service.

Want another mind fuck?

You can rent an RV for a $1/day for the same reasons.

any easter island tips then?

I know someone in the cook islands who got there by hitchhiking from french polynesia so its most certainly doable. but easter islands is a bit too far from the proper polynesian area, no?

>something around 400 euros for 11 days at sea, if i remember correctly.

That sounds waaaaaay too cheap desu.

There's a camping place which is dirt cheap but completely unprotected, so if it rains and you have a shit tent, good luck.

Stuff you can buy there is expensive, but not more expensive than in Europe or USA. Definitely more expensive than in Chile mainland. You can bring 2x 23kg with LAN so maybe buy a cheap bag in Santiago and some food if you are bent on saving money.

If you are alone the best way to see the island is by bycicle.

I would say it takes a week to see everything.

10/10 would recommend going there

i'd advise against hanging out on Easter island waiting for a boat for the simple reason that if you'll end up overstaying your tourist visa-free stay (3 months for most countries) no boat will take you, and you'll have to return to the mainland and sort out your immigration first. So why not make it a round trip in the first place. There should be much more options to cross the pacific from the mainland, and Valpo should be more fun to hang out around than Easter island - for more than a few days anyway
