Alofi Niue was a maiden call for us – which means it’s the first time a cruise ship has stopped there. It’s an island surrounded by a coral reef and it wasn’t necessary to snorkel to see the coral and the fish in the clear, turquoise water. It also claims to be the first nation in the world to have free wifi connection for their entire country and all school children have been given computers. Their population is 600 so our ship coming in with 1200 passengers and 600 crew members was quite an event for the locals. Many people sat around the local town square with their laptops and took advantage of the free wifi however of course this put quite a drain on their bandwith and connection was extremely slow.
