You can get off if you wish, but we are staying onboard . Dinner and drinks package and view of the opera house from our balcony.

Took 15 mins from dropping off bags to our stateroom. We had everything completed on the app and was only asked for ID and vac certificate, then collected our medallion. We had group B which was 11.30 but arrived by train early at 10.45 and was ushered straight through. Change of itinerary due to bad weather along the coast. Overnight in Sydney and sail at 4pm tomorrow. Miss Brisbane and straight to Airlie beach. Then an extended time in cairns 9pm instead of 6pm. best hotel in Sydney 😊

I agree, its so worth it. No more trying to pull out your cruise card for others to handle it, being able to find others in your group, and the door of you cabin been unlocked as you approach, are just some of the benefits

In 2019 we stayed at Premier Inn Southampton West Quay Hotel. Good location, across the road from shopping centre and easy walk to town. Couldnt walk to terminal, as we had too many bags, so caught a taxi (cant remember the cost, sorry) Small rooms, but clean, and they had a good breakfast and dinner

We were on the original 22nd Aug cruise (12 nights to Conflict Islands), that was cancelled and split into 3, now 2 shorter cruises. We are also booked on the 19-22 Aug cruise and 3-13 Sept cruises Cruises are still for sale, with last minute deals to be had Great to have cruising finally back in Oz 🙂 PS, was just able to go into Princess.com to try and book a cabin for that cruise

We are on NCL from Athens in Nov this year. At this stage they still require a test to board, but Greece doesn’t need one to enter the country. we are hoping by November this has changed.

CORAL PRINCESS 6211P EMBARKATION UPDATE The Port of Brisbane remains closed due to high swells at the pilot station and we still do not know when Coral Princess will be alongside in Brisbane We anticipate that by the time we receive clearance to come alongside and complete our disembarkation process it will be too late for guests to comfortably embark today As a result, we will be moving your embarkation to Sunday, 24 July We will provide additional information regarding your embarkation times, cruise itinerary, and compensation later today once our schedule is confirmed. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we manage our delayed arrival. You can also call 1300367989 for the most up-to-date information

Also to do a deep clean of the ship

We did the same thing. Moved the 22/8 sailing to the 3/9. I have 4 bookings in the personaliser. The 3 replacement cruises and the 3/9 one. This one showed payment to me made by 9/7. I spent hours on the phone yesterday and payment date is now 18/7 . The say that there is a delay transferring the funds across. I would be contacting Princess to get the payment date changed. I use a PVP and she organised that for us Also none of the 4 cruises appear in the App.I guess we will just have to wait

Thanks Julie for doing this. Supply is obviously a problem, but we shouldn't be penalised for cruising in OZ We are cruising on NCL later this year and they have had a change in their T & C's for bringing on wine. We have the Beverage package included, so no corkage payable if we bring on our own. Maybe they are having supply issues too, and want to keep their passengers happy. For those with any Beverage Package but who have a preference for a specific wine that NCL does not provide on board there has been a major Ts&Cs change. Wine & Champagne Policy Guests may bring bottles of wine and champagne on board. When bottles are brought on board and served or consumed in any restaurant, public room area or in their stateroom, a corkage fee will be charged according to bottle sizes noted below. 750 ml Bottle: $15.00 USD 1,500 ml Magnum: $30.00 USD Wine or champagne sent directly to the ship by travel agents, friends, family, etc. or from another retail source, are subject to the same fees. Box wines are not allowed on board. Corkage Fee is not applicable to guest with beverage package.

We have done the same thing. Didnt want to sail off the NSW coast, rather go north, even for 2 days less. Lets hope they dont shorten this one too

Thank you so much. We are in the same cabin, so should be easy Enjoy the rest of your cruises

Sorry if this has been asked. We are on a B2B in August. The cruises have been linked so only show in the Medallion App as one cruise. We have been able to check in, Group A and green lane for the 3 day cruise. There is no option to do anything for the 2nd cruise -12 night For those doing B2B's did you have to do anything else? Thanks Tanya

Us too 😀

Thank you for doing the Live. Enjoy yourselves 🙂

Logged into the P & O app this morning and we now have a Digital cruise card, Good times (daily planner) and under Featured today- Internet plans that are discounted for the first 24 hours. Getting real 🙂

I have printed our boarding passes from Cruise control has the barcode) as its also disappeared from the app. I sure there will be hiccups tomorrow, being the first cruise back.

We are also both on the cruise and all good to go 🙂 So stressful doing the Rat, it was a long 15mins All packed with our winter gear, no way we are not going to be up on deck for sailaway Cheers Tanya

I have half packed . Just waiting for the Rat to be done tomorrow, never been this nervous about getting on a cruise before . We will catch the train to Central and Uber or taxi to White Bay (our check in time isnt till 1pm) We will be up top for Sailaway, cant wait to sail under the bridge Cheers Tanya & Kevin

Mines ok

Cant wait till Tuesday 🙂

Yes, it will interesting to see how the staff at the terminal cope on Tuesday. I am hoping all of us that have completed cruise control and the verifly app have a separate line to board.

Yes we are staying home for the week 🙂

The Verifly app is easy . We have uploaded our vax certificate, just waiting till Sunday to finish our health declaration (crossing fingers we are negative )

We have uploaded our proof of vax status on the health section, and it says Document Pending Approval
