Do you reckon they would be a good fit from BICC to the airport when disembarking from the Quantum ?

All the best mate, chin up. Hope you are back home soon. Lot of friends here thinking of you.

Thanks guys, appreciate your helpful replies. John

Just had to renew my passport and will be taking my first o/s cruise apart from N/Z and would like to know what you seasoned cruisers do under the following circumstances. Do you trust and leave your passports in the cabin safe when going ashore and just take a copy ? When travelling to your cruise keep them in your carry on bag or on your person ? Keep photos of them on your phone ? If requested at a hotel or other establishments to view your passport just use a copy ? All information would be appreciated. As stated your passport is your most valuable item and I just want to do all that is possible to save any hassles. Thanks John.

I think that is where the cows mooer more than anywhere else. Come on some one, I had my turn the other week. 😊

Ia it a female horse name or similar to a pole.

Do trees feature on this island ?

Yes fits in well with the sculpture a definite connection with mythology.

Correct. Nice place Devonport. There is a Maritime museum not far from the sculpture that is worth seeing.Had a great holiday driving around Tasmania. Your turn.

Yes it would, he was a spirit of the sea I believe and quite tall. He never wore any clothes and caused a bit of a stir when he first appeared. The locals were upset and caused a bit of a stir so much so it upset his creator who did a bunk to the main land and never came back. Does not look like any other takers, perhaps time to name the place and your turn next.😀

Good one. I think you should pick a photo for your next turn. 😊

Just whisper it and I will keep it to myself 😂

As we live only an hour away from the BICT we would go straight back on board. Have been told that we would be one of the first in line to check back in so it should be nice and quiet on board.😊

Thanks guys, sounds easy enough. I would just have to increase the cruise insurance and parking. 👍 Cheers John

Not having done any back to back cruises I have a couple of questions. I am considering doing a back to back from BICT on the Carnival Luminosa the first cruise is just a three day at sea and the next is 7 days north cruise. The 7 day cruise is already booked and I found the cabin my daughter is booked into is available for the three day cruise. Our cabin is not available for the three days but the one next to it is. I did read my daughter can leave her luggage in the same cabin but obviously ours will need to be moved next door. Will we still have to go through the disembarkation & embarkation process after the three days ? Will my daughter keep her sail card or have to change that ? I suppose I am asking is it a hassle even though you are staying on the same ship. I have not booked the three day cruise as yet but thought the three sea days would be relaxing.

Where was I ?

Mount Wellington, Tasmania.

That’s what I was thinking of. Worth a try. 😄

Just paint a white tie on then you will be able to go formal as well as well as MDR.

Good Luck 🤞

Shame, you would not be looking at me then.😂

I was going to put a like on your post then I thought I like that you can use your OBC, I don't like that you cant go on the cruise ( shame ) how you going by the way with the Achilles rupture any improvement or to early to say yet ? Cheers John.

I don't wear my suit on formal nights, the first time I wore it was at my wedding 61 years ago and now it wont fit me. 😂

It worked for me, I have now booked the dining using some OBC so all good. Our cruise on the Luminosa is Feb 2024 Barrier Reef. Looking forward to our first cruise with Carnival after many cruises on other lines. I have been told to take my sunglasses to wear onboard when inside 😁 I have a feeling it is going to be very interesting as my last cruise was on the more modern Ovation. Cheers John.

Thanks Geoff, very helpful.👍 Our OBC was also from the cancelled Spirit cruise had to wait ages before they announced the replacement Luminosa. Gee this forum and you guys are such a big help thank you. Cheers John.
