Voice of Travelers to Maldives
Maldives aboard a cruise ship
We visited Maldives last winter during our cruise on an Indian cruise ship. We bought the ticket for the cruise ship in Dubai. The ticket included fourteen nights on the ship. Not included was a flight ticket from Maldives capital, Male, back to Dubai. Maldives was our final destination. We spent five days in Maldives, mostly on its pristine beaches. Maldives was definitely the highlight of the whole cruise as Jamaica is very beautiful. We would have stayed in Maldives for much longer and we were sad that the trip from Maldives back to the United Arab Emirates was not aboard a ship but on a plane. However, Emirates Airlines took very good care of us. Even though we forgot to print our airfare ticket, everyone at the airport in Maldives was very nice and helpful. We will never forget Maldives.
Aboard Emirates Airlines to Maldives
We found a fairly reasonable vacation deal for Maldives which included an airfare ticket to Maldives, seven nights in a hotel in Maldives, as well as a bus ticket from our hometown to the airport. The troubles started long before we arrived in Maldives with our ticket being canceled by the ticket company. We had a new ticket to Maldives issued through Emirates Airlines. We were delayed in the Heathrow Airport for an unknown reason. Because we bought insurance with the airfare ticket, it covered the night in the airport before we could board the airplane for Dubai and consequently to Maldives again. Our flight ticket was issued by Ryanair and the flight was terrible. After this experience, we canceled our return ticket from Dubai to London by Ryanair and got a new one with Emirates all the way from Maldives to London.
