  1. Julie, I am enjoying your progressive reports. Well done and continue to enjoy your 🚢 cruise.
  2. Indeed, the pax will not be happy when they find ChCh is closed.
  3. Thanks for posting the food pics, lubbly jubbly, inspires me to cook.
  4. After the 2018 APEC conference in PNG, many of the leased luxury vehicles loaned to senior PNG ministers and officials were not returned. Finders Keepers syndrome, lol. Perhaps they thought it was a gratuity, lol.
  5. Princess is Best, 😆 love the Elite complimentary 🧺.
  6. Up there you would not get many. They like Coolangatta to Surfers.
  7. North or south end? The Goldy is full of tourists, year round.
  8. And we keep feeding their corrupt government $$$$$$ that is a lot of Kina.
  9. Oh dear, I am a bit of a food hoarder, got enough tins etc in my pantry to last for ever, almost and my fridges and freezer are bulging. I get on the on line ordering for Coles/Woolies delivery and keep pressing the buttons, like booking a cruise.😬 At least I can hide from the 100,000 tourists down here for the next month.lol.
  10. I looked it up on their website, Speights Dunedin brewery tour: Admission $30, Seniors/students $27. I suppose seniors means over 60. Enjoy.
  11. Yes I saw Emma's report on YT. I think Ambassador Cruises might not last long. I was on her last cruise as ye olde Regal Princess in August/Sept 2007, LA to Sydney before rebirth as Pacific Dawn. She is getting worn out now. These older vessels need to be well maintained.
  12. Cheese sauce for the Cauliflower Gratin and Veggies is good, not sure about putting it on the spud and meats.
  13. Re Ambience, my half sister in Essex UK was booked on the next cruise to Canary Islands over Christmas /New Year from Tilbury. I just spoke to her, she got an E mail yesterday from Ambassador Cruise Line saying her cruise is cancelled as the ship is in drydock. She got full refund and 15% off future cruise.
  14. Clean ordered by NZ Authorities, environmental issue. Unfortunate for the pax. The Coral Princess Environmental Officer will be getting a kick up the rear for overlooking the need for the hull clean.
  15. Thanks Linda, keeping a low profile, not real well, getting fed of up of doctors and injections, Urologists, Oncologists, PET scans etc. I was at Moruya today for a jab in the stomach (Leuprorelin) thank God for my newly issued Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, the full cost was $908. Have a good Christmas and to all others on here.❤️🎅
  16. Thanks Bob, but not better, long bumpy road ahead, Cancer and kidneys. I fear my cruising career is over after 28 of them.😪
  17. More than a few restaurants in Sydney have provision for a tip/gratuity on the bill. Even down here in Batemans Bay at more upmarket eateries and many more have ye olde tip jar on the counter, even the local bakery/cafes.
  18. It is sad that many pax are missing on board entertainment and activities, trying to dodge the Covid bullet.
  19. Perhaps they did not want Covid people on site.
  20. Perhaps The cruiseline books out the entire Hobbiton complex, thus shutting out other tourists an tour operators. What is the capacity of Hobbiton?
  21. The Icon class ships hold 7500 pax at full capacity, ye gods, not for me. 2400 crew that is nearly 10,000 people on a ship. Hope they have ample life boats!
