something is going on ,I was on the first cruise to mystery island and it was dropped.we spent almost 3 days at anchor in Vila bay,couldn’t get of most of the time . It has improved since then. Heres’ a thread.

I have a bit of a feeling things are going sour in Vanuatu for Royal Caribbean. I think it’s only once this season that they have been accepted in Mystery Island. Carnival group hasn’t had a problem but Royal keeps getting stood up. I have a feeling it’s all connected to Lelepa and the lack of progress. There was a article in the local paper about the chief on Lelepa not being happy. https://www.dailypost.vu/news/lelepa-chief-to-cruise-liner-visit-dependent-on-conditions/article_cedec975-e030-5d48-a64b-c7a235a2dc93.html

Bound for Sydney, must have dropped a patient off in Noumea. Does P&O have so many medical incidents?

Sydney is pretty well at capacity as in ship berths,so bigger than Radiance.

I don’t think OPT could handle check in of a Oasis , Quantum class is about it.

Sydney needs more capacity and the only way is a bigger ship. The repo would be super popular.

Year round in Hong Kong.

Anthem -Sydney/Singapore

Plus Utopia in Shanghai/Singapore, Michael .

Blaming my beetles again ,you know beetles have feelings LOL Looks like excuse `A’ to me , good old medical evacuation.

Ovation is on the move ,Mystery Island bound ?? It looks like it tried the other day ??? Am I missing something here ??

Also a vaccination certificate.

Welcome to cruise critic. We have a thing called a roll call ,its the people on the cruise and I am one of them. Drop in and say hello.

You keep miss spelling BIG GAV uncle Les. He would have a suite so he could eat in his cabin ( they have a dining table), the suite restaurant or where ever BIG GAV wants. Ive been thinking about this Mystery Island problem they have uncle Les. I believe BIG GAV is still on Ovation. Ovation is supposed to be at mystery island tomorrow. Maybe he should have a meeting with the chief. You know a one on one bear all . Drink a bit of kava , some fire walking (a bit dangerous!) catch a fish for lunch. What do you think uncle Les?

I would say you will be in Grand but they are all the same menu just a different decor.

I don’t know where Gavin is getting that from but I suppose that’s his job to talk things up. Here’s a screenshot from a local site this morning. Note that Quantum is heavily discounted for the rest of this season. No discounts on Ovation as it’s mostly sold out.

I’m wondering what @bretts173has speculation on the 24-25 season? Being a bit quite maybe someone upset him ?

It’s like asking a truck driver when they are going to fix the road.

Melbourne being as big as Sydney now ,I think it has merit. It could Concentrate on N.Z and southern Australia itineraries. Certainly a more attractive port to Brisbane with direct flights for overseas tourists.

Maybe a Radiance out of Melbourne?

The only way to get more volume out of Sydney is bigger ships. Lelepa won’t be getting a Oasis wharf in 18 months so it would be another Quantum class for it to tender. Its a bit repetitive with just one class of ship.

Did you know his sisters name was Gale ? She goes by the handle of just the BIG `G’

Could be a Oasis??? China opened its boarder today,Sydney is there favourite tourist destination.

One my favourite activities here on this forum not to mention teasing @gbenjo being my favourite.
