El Cheapo Cruises Thread
aussielozzie18 replied to icat2000's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Not sure if this considered el cheapo but cruising from Sydney to Brisbane is a better option than flying right now. DD & friends flew to Brisbane last night. Those flying with Jetstar had no issues. Those flying with Virgin had their flight cancelled with next day flight given as the next option. -
I told my work colleagues on Wednesday that my intermittent coughing was due to the gorgeous fluffy kitty that I have been cat sitting and who has been curled up on my lap every night after dinner. This gorgeous kitty sheds a lot of fur so I assumed it had caused my allergies to flare but I felt worse overnight so did the test on Thursday morning. It wasn’t kitty at all, I have Covid for the first time. So my cruising friends on the Ovation have missed two ports (port authority closed them due to weather) one has developed a chest infection, have not got on with their travelling companions and now their favourite cat sitter is Covid positive…fortunately I had contact details for their friends who are feeding kitty for the next two nights.

Dani - we take from granted in our country how easy it is to book holidays. I am sorry you have to go through so many hurdles. Is there a reason the National airline does not fly on Friday afternoon to Saturday night? - that seems bizarre to me. Last minute bookings due to rescheduling is always difficult & more costly unfortunately. But you certainly don’t need this nightmare right now. I hope you get what you want and can travel now and can report back after your holiday of how good it was.

Missing Ports Again!

That’s why I asked about OBC. -

@resordanis I know you dock back in Sydney on Saturday morning. What ports do you have left to visit? -

Sorry to read of the missed ports. I have friends on board but haven’t heard from them re the missed ports. A shame. They were looking forward to seeing Lanarch Castle with a private tour and seeing the Te Papu museum (excuse spelling). Are you getting any OBC in lieu? -
The beautiful kitty that DD is cat sitting needs to have his meal heated in the microwave for 6 secs before he will eat 🙄 We had a lightning storm the night before last. DD messaged us last night to say the power had been obviously been impacted because she wasn’t able to heat up her dinner leftovers in the microwave (plus half of the power points weren’t working). I said oh no about her dinner but also how will kitty go without his food being heated up. Turns out kitty has no issue eating his dinner unzapped. He was just being a Prince.
