It was in early 2005. on wait for it !! Ye olde P&O Pacific Sun. Lautoka is a dump, well it was back then. So the car trip was half a day, about 200km, left in the morning, some roads ok, others not, passed through some villages enroute to Suva. So had a night in a Suva hotel whilst the ship sailed through the night. re boarded next afternoon. The Fijians outside the cities are good people, some dodgy ones in the cities.

Batehaven Bakery near me often has Cornish Pasties for those who wish to imbibe.

No, you mean the Victorian pie eating comp, young Adrian, no NSW or Qld entries.lol.

I get the gf version from Woolies. Not bad but expensive $8 for two pack.

Good that Carnival still have early and late TD.

For me embarking Coral on 13 Sept it was the first one, verbal statement of a neg RAT. But who knows what is required now, could well be your 1, 2, 3. Best be prepared for the latter.

Biased, the judges are all Mexicans, lol. 90% Vic entries.

Years ago we got off the ship at Lautoka, hired a car and drove across to Suva, rejoining the ship the next day. An adventure through the jungle that was, lol. Perhaps that is still an option.

The offenders should be paraded before the Staff Captain and put off at the nearest port. Stern action is required. They are endangering other pax and crew.

Welcome back, I was thinking we had not heard from you for a long while. I recollect some years ago I asked how your sons Billy and Charlie were, they are your fur babies, 🐕lol. All the best Eileen.

No Conflict Island visit…, after all the dramas recently re ships going there or not, it is an anticlimax not being able to land today. For many on the current cruise the Conflicts were a drawcard. Commiserations my friends.😢

A great spot the Bundy factory, tour and drink.

My GP told me you have to be medically diagnosed with Covid before a script for the anti virals can be written.

Sad news that Julie. Enjoy the trip back down the coast. More rain on the way.

Never see that ship here, well maybe in 25 years when the Yanks have had enough of it. Graham might be retired by then and the red carpet worn out, so will not sample Windjammer, @ The Foodjammer, lol.

The Asians love KFC.

Big mother of a ship the Icon. 5600 pax, OMG.

Will be interesting to see the NZ reaction to these Transpacific ships if they report a load of cases approaching NZ. Jacinta would be nervous.

Australia and NZ require vaccs, masks and pre testing and on board testing. Cruise lines who wish to operate here have to comply with our government protocols.

Spot on Geoff.

We don't want NCL here then with that slack attitude. If they arrive they must comply with our protocols, vaccs, mask and testing.

Masks and testing should continue here.

They might when they get the flick from the RSL and Leagues Clubs, lol. The ships are the last resort, lol., $1000 a gig on the Princess Theatre stage, lol.

Great result Neil, zillions of…

Oh no, get better quick Lyle
