And your favourite..Water 🛝 slides. Ugly looking things. Glad Princess has not installed them on..Yet.🤭

Good work Julie.. I hear Good Spirits Bar calling you for pre dinner drinks.🍹🥂

She is a monster, bigger than Majestic Princess.

'Coral of the Seas' Did they cut Coral Princess in half whilst she was in Freo and weld it to some old RCI ship? stupid is stupid, lol.

My Princess Black medallion won't work on RCI, sorry Chilli. That queue is madness, too many getting there at the wrong time slot. Are you on that cruise?

That is not good.

On the Coral 13th Sept cruise, my cabin was the same, cold outside and I put the thermostat on highest, still not warm. I was in C333.

Great service that Julie.

That is good. You had a few feasts late in the day then, above all enjoy.

That is what they posted yesterday, ordered lunch in iso @ 10am and still waiting @ 4pm. I would have been ringing the Captain, lol. I would say the galley and delivery staff could not cope with the work load or their order was lost.

Nice pic from the water, I wonder how check in/embarkation is progressing. She takes 4000 pax?

How are iso meal deliveries today my friends? There were some issues yesterday, gazpam was waiting 6 hours for lunch. I wonder if it ever arrived?

Similar here I think, I know they take 85% of your income, whether it is private superannuation like I receive pension or government aged pension. My daughter suggests I sell up and buy into an independent living unit in a seniors living/aged care facility. She has not won yet, lol. I am content to stay in my house. I get a cleaner in once a fortnight for $60 for two hours and a lawn mower bloke in when I don't feel like doing it myself.

Cheaper than an aged care facility lol.They take 85% of one's income.

Our Graham GBenjo would be on parade down there, sorting out the pax, lol.

Back in 97, we did a 3 week in depth coach tour of NZ North and South Islands with Guthrey Pacific Coach Tours, not sure if they still exist. It was leisurely with some 2 and 3 night stops, but missed nothing, saw and did everything, good hotels, meals, all inclusive, even the inter island ferry with the coach on board too, lol So I highly recommend a coach tour of NZ on a ship visit you only have limited time and range, done that too.

Thanks, we had the CSHC card for a few years, but when my wife died mid 2020, they took it off me next day as I had no dependents, before that they deemed my super pension as split icome, now it is not of course, but I do a fair job of spending it every fortnight, lol. My son and daughter tell me I spend too much and should save more, save? For what? My $ lol. SKI.

Indeed they did, plus $50 obc. I got $500 in FCC. I might have to use it soon and book another short cruise, while I can.

Thank you, My superannuation scheme was compulsory from day 1 back in 1967 until I retired in 2003. Fortnightly deductions from my pay for 36 years. Now at 74 the government gives me zilch apart from no tax payable on my defined benefit State Super Pension because I am self funded, not reliant on government handouts. The whole system needs an overhaul. I sometimes think in this country you are better off with nothing then the government gives you everything. In UK, NZ and there is no means test for things like aged pensions, health benefits etc. But here they look at every cent you get or have.

You should have had a table for 4, lol.

We had the priority line for Coral on 13 Sept, I was on board in 10 minutes I was not in green lane as no smart phone app etc. But they sorted me out. So it is bad that it did not happen on Majestic embarkation. Will be interesting to see if it improves. Good work there young Geoffrey, trying to sort it out with Circle host.

All the cruise lines stopping at the above places should put a shuttle charge hidden in their port charges for all pax whether they use the shuttle or not, the pax would never know, lol. I don't think it is fair that cruise pax fill up the local public buses and leave no room for the locals. It is not on.

He is selling his late Mum's 14 race horses so it is his 'shout' 🍺 when he gets there. Hope he has to do a PCR or RAT's test, they are still dying like flies in UK and cases increasing big time.

You should get some some compo like FCC and a little obc.

66 years and six months rising to 67 next year. So it is age and income/assets.
