Shush,don’t tell everyone Cheers Carole

Booked with these agents long before Covid always got decent OBC and still do Never had extra added on a quote and I reckon $7.50 a month is not a bad price to pay for a chance to win a cruise. To each his own. Cheers Carole

I think there are two different thing being discussed here ? A TA that has a optional $90 per annum club membership that has a lucky draw monthly for a free cruise, and,,,, A cruise line membership ? Cheers Carole

My Warrigal greens are loving it Cheers Carole

I take the foil strips out and flatten the boxes, put elastic band round them never had to show them in all the countries we have been to. Cheers Carole

I have been using said online TA for several years and the $90 voluntary club membership was brought after Covid when cruising started up again. There is a live draw each month for excellent cruise prizes also I have been invited to a couple of high teas plus there are several offers through the year for cheaper cruises than the norm. There is no extra fee put on any of your bookings. Cheers Carole

We have decided on Port Mill B&B very good reviews on another adviser, I will certainly give my impressions on the Crown when able. The last bigger ship Iwas on was Majestic nut I love Coral size. Cheers Carole

Have been to Perth a few times over the years to visit a relative so have done a lot of sightseeing,this time it’s just to do the cruise but thanks anyway. Cheers Carole

Thank you all for your input re hotels and trains. Cheers Carole

Will look up the train,last time I was in Fremantle the train from the airport was not active,,was it easy enough with luggage ? Cheers Carole

Hi all, going on Crown In November so looking for recommendations for a hotel pre cruise cheers Carole

Sparky how was this cruise ? I am reading on another platform about broken generator slowing down the ship and therefore missing or shortened time in ports. I am booked for Northern explorer in November and have got the third time unlucky jitters ,first time Princess sold Sun then the dreaded C struck hope it’s all fixed up soon (not getting any younger) Cheers Carole

I use online agent and when Covid hit mid cruise it was no problem for me to get in touch and get help,,same agents have a draw every month for a free holiday for members Cheers Carole

An acquaintance of mine once said that marriage license should be like a dog license and only renew it as needed. 😱😱 Cheers Carole

Oops,,mis read that,,,also any aircraft will take any currency for charity Cheers Carole

This chap is on a cruise and land tour with Princess now Cheers Carole

I remember years ago when I lived in UK,someone from the coach would go round with a hat for people to tip the bus driver who did very well if we had happened to stop on the way at a pub for a while. Cheers Carole

Copied from “what’s in port” Tours can be arranged to visit the nearby villages of Bilbil and Yabob to see traditional clay pots being made or you can explore Madang harbor with a morning harbor cruise. The south Coast road leads to the Balek Wildlife Sanctuary, which has strange fish-filled sulphurous caves, jungle walks, and hot springs. The Sanctuary was also location for filming scenes into he Pierce Brosnan movie "Robinson Crusoe". Shopping and Food A variety of local markets sell artefacts, shell jewelry, cavings and pottery. The main streets, of which there are around 4, are composed of supermarkets or large stores. People from the outlying islands come in to shop and take their goods back.

We took the ship tour to what they call the “festival” found it good value for money for a couple of hours, we waited a lengthy amount of time for the return bus with no shade it’s a few years ago so things may have changed. I personally wouldn’t walk to far in this port. Got our money exchanged at our Westfield shopping centre and I saw some queuing onboard th change money. Cheers Carole

It now reads all clear unless you are travelling to Tasmania as of 27 th September Cheers Carole

Yes unfortunately it does but covers you until you are 91for cancelation delay etc but not for health while your away. Such is life Cheers Carole

NAB have a debit card that offers complimentary travel insurance,there is a monthly account keeping fee but it’s cheaper overall than some credit card insurance Cheers Carole
