That's what we thought as well, but then we booked two more! 🤣🤣🤣 -
I think I'd rather take it home with us, just in case.
-
Thank you. You'll probably hear more from me once we're back onboard.
-
The final September cruise is almost over and we are packing our bags for our short sojourn at home. We have packed one bag with clean clothes and other stuff that we won't need while we're home so that's one bag already packed for Tuesday! 😊
-
Yes, the drinks package is available, either in Plus or Premier fares or as a separate purchase.
-
You should have chosen the prawns on the second formal night. They came with a lobster tail. Available to anyone. I saw some people getting two last night in the MDR.
-
Yes they can be good for that but, oh no, that might mean more people decide they love Coral Princess so her cruises will sell out even quicker and/or become more expensive
-
I won't tell you exactly what the Future Cruise Sales person said about this cruise but he did allude to the fact that it isn't expected to be the usual Princess demographic. 🤣🤣🤣 Make sure you look after the ship for us in our short absence. 😊

Now for something completely different
OzKiwiJJ replied to Blackduck59's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Good luck Geoff. 😘 -
It shouldn't include mushrooms. Coral seems to like putting mushrooms in all sorts of weird things. In Club Class they had a Lobster Thermidor special one night - it had bloody mushrooms in it. We sent it back and ordered something else. Next time they had that special the head waiter arranged for some mushroom-free lobsters for us. They were yummy!
-
Escargots or Escargots de Bourgignon I think.
-
There are plenty of them in the CBD. They have a good range of sunscreens. We usually use the Cancer Council ones.
-
I think they might be running low on snails. We had really nice ones in June. On our first September cruise they were OK but I started noticing traces of mushroom. Last night they had lots of mushroom in them. The flavour was very noticeable.
-
Thanks Les.
-
They had them on the menu tonight and they definitely had mushroom in them. You could try asking for some mushroom-free ones.

Transiting Through Doha Airport Qatar
OzKiwiJJ replied to lyndarra's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I had the same bad vibe transiting through Abu Dhabi some years ago and I wasn't travelling solo. The exit from the arrival gate was near a glass walled smoking room full of men. Walking past that was very unpleasant. -
They've been having them on the second formal night usually. I think they are padded out with mushrooms. Sorry!
-
They aren't that hard to find here, especially in Melbourne which is usually the QE homeport here. Daniel Hechter has a store at the South Wharf outlet centre - Rolf just bought a new dinner jacket there at a very good price. MJ Bale also have them but at double+ the price.
-
Through the Future Cruises Desk. It didn't get us any extra OBC though. We did get extra for this cruise but the promo rules may not apply to longer cruises.
-
That was actually a deciding factor in booking. If we had only had the choice of guarantee cabins or ones in locations that we didn't like we wouldn't have booked. But there was one lonely unbooked minisuite on Dolphin deck that was just saying "Book me! Book me!". 🤣🤣🤣
-
We also had a suite on the first cruise we did this year, then a minisuite, then the second suite, and currently we have a regular balcony. Luckily there weren't any suites available to tempt us.
-
Oh good! We've got a lot of stuff to do that day so will be out and about.
-
I wish we could have got a suite but no such luck plus it would have bent the budget too far out of shape. We opted for a mid-aft minisuite as the only balcony cabins were either guarantees or in locations we didn't like. That bent the budget a bit more than we liked but it's worth it for a 28 day cruise.
-
No deal, no gambling, just using funds from no cruising for 2.5 years.
-
We certainly do and are. Apart from missing 2.5 years or cruising because of the pandemic we now have the flexibility to book last minute cruises since our cat passed away a few months ago.
