    Captain’s Club Power Up Points

    Hi, Debbi.  It's been a long time since the Great Barrier Reef cruise.

     

    There is no way to "see" if you have been rewarded the PowerUp Points directly.  You are awarded the converted Club Points (10 PUP = 1 CC) to your Capt Club account the following month.  That is the only way you  know.  So you have to track them yourself, do the math conversion, and then see if you were awarded the proper CC points in the following month.....

    Thanks David 🙂   It certainly has been awhile.    Hope to sea you again on the high seas 🙂 

    Freeview while at sea???

    Asking for a friend,  is there away to watch catch up tv/freeview while at sea?   He (okay me 2) sadly are a little addicted to a certain reality tv show and don't want to miss out while cruising.   Is there anyway to watch this on a ipad?  Will the normal freeview or 7plus/9go app work?

     

    Thanks in advance 🙂 

    Ho Chi Minh City With Xuan

    in Asia

    Totally agree @beldin61!!!!!!    

     

    I'm a bit confused though it appears that the negative inappropriate comments have mostly been removed.  Which makes me very happy!!!!  Shame the one promoting the other company wasn't removed also.

     

    Xuan was a wonderful guide and these 2 tours were the best tours of my whole cruise.

    Ho Chi Minh City With Xuan

    in Asia

    Hi all,

     

    I was on the 2 tours as mentioned above by @beldin61.   What an amazing two tours!!!

     

    Day 1 in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh so many wonderful sites and sounds.   Definitely the highlight was the trishaw ride,  Those drivers are amazing for a few reasons their leg strength being able to ride around us larger Aussies, Canadians and Americans.   Also their skills at navigating the traffic was truly amazing.   Xuan has designed the route and he rides ahead with a driver on a scooter and takes photos.    He takes amazing photos not just on that part of the tour but throughout the day (in our case both days).   He sent them through to @beldin61 and in turn I received all the photos.    Xuan is a great photographer.

     

    The second day was just as good as the first.   It was raining when we left port but by the time we reached Marble Mountain it had fined up.  The ground and steps were still a little slippery and Xuan was an absolute gentleman and helped me and anyone else who needed it to explore the area.

     

    The coffee was such a lovely treat from Xuan.    Vietnamese coffee was sweet & tasty and the view from rooftop coffee shop was amazing.   Exploring the city and a bit of shopping was also heaps of fun.

     

    So many highlights I can't chose my favourite part of the tours.   If you are visiting Vietnam I hope you will be lucky enough to tour with Xuan!

    My apologies, I took it for granted that you were American. Regardless, Netflix AU will still offer different programming than other regions of the world. It has to do with licensing.

    I'm still pretty new to Netflix,  I have the unlimited internet package so I might just give it a go 🙂  Maybe I will be able to get US channels?  That would be really cool 🙂  But i don't like my chances.... Thanks for replying 🙂

    you may also have issues with where in the world you are and what country's internet you are connected to. The Netflix US lineup is not entirely the same as Netflix CA or another country. It is possible the show you want to watch won't be available to you based on where you are in the world.

    I'm from Australia so I think I will have problems 😞  But if I have downloaded it to my ipad it should work shouldn't it?   I think the other problem is still if  I can connect it to the tv....  might just try and watch on the ipad 🙂

    Okay this is going to be a weird question.    I know that I can download the shows I want to watch from Netflix but is there a way to watch it on my tv in my stateroom?

     

    I have a Google chrome cast would that work??   Is there an option to plug it in the side of the tv and then cast my Ipad to the tv?   I hope that makes some sort of sense.

     

    Thanks heaps in advance  🙂

    Have a cruise coming up that leaves from Singapore.  We made our own flight arrangements and are arriving 2 days before the cruise.  Looking for recommendations for a hotel room for my husband and I.  Prefer moderate price and close to attractions. Thanks!

     

    We are staying at The Scarlet Hotel in Chinatown Singapore.  I'm not sure when you are going but I'm there in 18th January so I can give you my opinion of it then 🙂

    I'm looking to arrange a Jewish tour of Shanghai.  I've e-mailed Dvir Bar-Gal numerous times, to no avail.  I have info from Go China that is very old.  Can anyone give me tour suggestions, as we don't want to try it on our own.  We are looking at May, 2019.  

    Hi @supersecdd,   I have emailed Dvir and he has been replying to me.   The email address I'm using is: shanghaijews@hotmail.com

     

    I'm going in February and he doesn't know if he will be there or back home in Israel.    I will keep you posted how my plans go.

     

    Cheers Debbi 🙂

    We were there in January on the Celebrity Millennium and we used the following:

     

    Pattaya4leusiure.com $1,300 Baht ($40 USD) each way for a van holding 10 people

     

    I arranged for 6 of us and it was great as we didn't have to put down a deposit.

     

    They wrote:  "As we do not take a deposit, please inform us via e mail if you would like to cancel your reservation"

    Thanks heaps I will check them out 🙂

    I will check them out.   If you remember when you get back can you please let me know what they were like.     Have you booked anything in Pattaya?  I'm thinking about going to the Floating Market and one of the cabaret shows either Alcazar or Tiffany's 🙂⚓🛳️⚓

    Hi, does anyone happen to know the onboard prices for photo packages. I’m looking at getting the all inclusive photos on a USB. Just want to know if it will be cheaper to buy pre-cruise. Thanks

    I'm not cruising on Ovation till 2020 but if you don't mind posting the cost you pay it will help give me an idea for my budget.  Thanks heaps.   Have a great cruise ⚓🛳️⚓
