Hi Sam Just done our Covid tests too, and all OK. Phew! We are boarding at 1200 tomorrow. 5 30 at the aft bar sounds great. See you then, unless we bump into you around the ship. Our friend Martin, who is travelling with us, may come along. See you soon Kevan and Ian

Hi Sam. We arrived in Auckland this evening. Staying at the M Social opposite the cruise terminal. Only a 5 minute walk to board the Eclipse on Saturday. Amazing that whave a 12 night cruise after all we have done already. Did a road trip from Sydney to the Blue Mountains and then up the coast to see friends and family. Spent time with all 4 of my cousins. Hope you had a great trip down on Emirates. See you soon. We are on Deck 7 midships Kevan and Ian

Hi Sam and Huw. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. You must be very excited about heading to Auckland soon. We have had a great week in Sydney. Our New Year's Eve dinner cruise on the harbour was wonderful. A dream come true! Eclipse was in Sydney today, leaving for the cruise before ours. We drove up to the Blue Mountains today so did not see it unfortunately. Got a great pic from the Sydney Harbour webcam of it xx

Hi Sam and Huw Great to hear from you! We are still in the UK. We go up to Heathrow for the night on Christmas Eve. Fly on Singapore Airlines at 1100 on Christmas Day. Can't wait! We booked the cruise 21 months ago. No doubt you are getting excited too. Have a good trip down. Look forward to seeing you on board. Have a Merry Christmas ! Kevan and Ian

Paid the balance for our cruise yesterday. It's coming round really quickly now. Can't wait to get on board. Hi to Sam and Huw. Not seen you here for a while. Hope all is well x

That sounds like a great trip! We will be on the harbour for NYE on a Captain Cook dinner cruise. We'll give you a wave! It's been a dream for 40 years. It was never possible when we were working as we worked in industries ( travel and retail) where we were not allowed to take holiday over Christmas and NYE as they were our busiest period. We fly out of the UK to Sydney on Christmas Day which will be different!

Hi MikeLeeJames. Welcome to the group.
