Chez..Commiserations to you and Andy. Such a loss losing your dog.

OR $150 Aussie 'Oxford Scholars.' lol.

Only for cruises within Aust/NZ for Aussie/NZ residents.

Whilst Coral is in Australia, as per government regulations there is no smoking inside the ship, not even in the Churchill smoking lounge. A couple of designated deck areas for the smokers. So a smoke free environment within the ship, suits me as am a non smoker. I am just off Coral in Sydney.

At the extreme, they could deny embarkation.

The cruise lines often offer the above as a shorex. $40 is ok for a return ticket.

Foolhardy, still dying like flies over in USA and UK and cases up 15% in UK. Too soon to be taking the gloves off Geoff.

MELBOURNE FLOODS: Some serious flooding around Melbourne, I trust you all out there are handling it ok. All the best guys.

Eastbank Bar and Bistro is good, near ye olde Opera House.

I wont cruise any more if mandates are dropped. We are just following yanks and brits.

nor should they, keep the masks, vaccs and rats going.

I detest wearing the masks but I did on Coral.

And no RATs, disaster.

Let me guess where you are Julie and Rolf…the best bar, Good spirits..enjoy..🍸

In the 🗑 lol.

Same here, I might save up and do it.

Are they expensive?

Totally agree, safe travels.

Could be a disaster Julie, the yanks are saying from 27 Oct, no masks, crew and pax. Surely our governments Aus and Nz should keep the mask mandate on the ships.

There are some strange ones over there, Geoff.

Airborne Cougar, lol.

To see the grain, lol. The grain terminal wharf was horrible.

I was on a big shared table 6 or 8 people on the nights I ate in MDR, plus a couple of brekkies and lunches, it was good. No way would I eat alone in the mdr, I would feel like a nigel or a dork.lol. Buffet different scenario, ok on my own but at busy times I shared a table or was joined by others, no worries.

I have no smart phone, so go into the web version from Princess site and put your stuff in there. Would not accept all mine so I was not in green lane.. I just took the paper work like booking confirmation, vaccination certificate from my gov. They asked if my rat was neg, took my photo, gave me the medallion and I was on board in a flash. I just used the medallion to get on and off ship, open door and buy drinks, just called the waiter over with a wave. Easy.

Those giant Toblerones, lol.
