Not Versailles but it is in Europe.

Tasmania?

Why not? I'm hopefully going in Sep. Is it unsafe? I thought I might go on a ship excursion to Macau if they have one.

Grand Princess Interior Cabin configuration ....
Yaya_in_Oz replied to nzrainbow's topic in Princess Cruises
Thanks for the info. I never knew the ship had those hanging beds to the side. They are an eyesore and no doubt I'd knock into them. I've been on the Grand twice this year in an interior and an OY room but towards the back of the ship. Nice rooms. I thought extra beds dropped from the ceiling. I'll have to do more research when booking one of those rooms in future so I don't end up with one with hanging beds. I usually book in advance and can choose my own room. I actually think the queen bed beside the wall looks more cosy and would be more functional for a solo. -
I didn't realise they scrapped so many ships but I guess they have to make room for the monsters of the seas.

It is a cruise port but not Akureyri or Hellisandur.

Not Nuuk. Its in Iceland.

No, not Akranes. Close to the Arctic Circle.

Not Reykjavik but not far away.

Not Scandinavia but part of the Nordic Region.

No, not Venice. Good guess though. Much further north.

Keeping with the art theme.... I was wandering along in the northern hemisphere and came across a portrait of myself 😄 Which town am I in?

How about Geeveston where not many people go.

They put on the special seafood lunch and cakes today in the buffet. To conclude, the Grand is the oldest ship in the fleet but I’d go anywhere on it. The service is great and the smaller the ship the better. I’m not a fan of queueing. A number of people I’ve talked to are disappointed that Princess will no longer be cruising out of Melbourne. I intend to give P and O a go next summer but most of their itineraries are not appealing with themed cruises to nowhere or to Kangaroo Island and back. While I’m on the train I may as well connect with Skybus and fly to Hobart for a short break. Or just get in the car and drive somewhere. Locals love chatting to me 😄. I am going on the Diamond in Sep. but overseas once a year or so is enough for me. I wish @Ondine a wonderful cruise on this old darling as she heads to QLD tomorrow after dropping me home 😎. -

Homeward bound. Captain has announced it should be smooth sailing and arrival home at 7 am as expected. A bit breezy out but sun shining and vivid blue seas. I didn’t ask for a particular disembark group but they put me in Navy 6. -

I went on the excursion to Bruny Is today. Like most of the others, had visited Tassie before but hadn’t been down to Bruny. Alan multitasked as a driver, tour guide and waiter. He was excellent. The excursion was from 9 to 4 pm with an included lunch of crumbed morning fish, freshly caught oysters and a drink. We visited the Neck lookout. I went to the first landing and then did the boardwalk. We also stopped at the beach st Two Tree Point. We visited the homemade Chocolates (wish I’d bought more), the Honey Farm. I don’t like honey but the little tub of icecream was nice as you could barely taste the honey. The whiskey/gin place was potent but expensive. That was all rather I interesting but I prefer scenery but only do much you can see in a few hours with bus and ferry ride needed to get there. Some pics for the day. I take most of mine on a camera as phone battery runs down quickly the way I snap. -
