Reminds me of a Sapphire Princess cruise Sydney - LA in 2008. Our dear friend Serafino had 2 cases of wine shipped to Sydney for us - no problem getting them on board.
First cruise stop was Melbourne. Mirella and Ray from our cruise critic group organised a tour there. Champagne at Brighton Beach, a private tour of the Exhibition Hall , great lunch. Our new American friends were most impressed with our last stop at Dan Murpys. Staff there assumed we had been at sea for a long time (only 2 days) as they helped load 12 trolley loads of grog into our mini bus. Those were the days !
