They evacuate the top decks for some reason. Maybe in case of an accident? -
Double medical evacuations on Majestic
TommyH2006 posted a topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
First one was late yesterday after leaving Picton. Ship turned around and headed back to Picton and passenger evacuated by tender. Then this morning we had to leave our cabin at 5.00am as a passenger was to be evacuated by helicopter. I spoke briefly to an officer about the lack of a helipad. He said they were going to winch the passenger off. It was blowing a gale. The whole operation took about two hours. The captain said it was an extremely difficult operation. We had wind gusts up to 73 knots. About 140 kph. Hurricane force. The helicopter pilot did an amazing job. -
On board Majestic Princess
TommyH2006 replied to TommyH2006's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
We actually checked in at 10.47. On board at 10.53 for a 4.00pm sailing. -
Will give a short report when we get home but just wanted to say it was the fastest embarkation ever. 6 minutes from getting out of the uber to "dinging on"
-
Thank you.
-
Thanks Belmont babe. That answers my question 🙂
-
Heading to the domestic airport. I just can't see anywhere on George St that Ubers could stop to pick up. Are they actually allowed down to the OPT drop off zone to pick up passengers?
-
Can anyone advise the best place to catch an uber after disembarking at the OPT? I was thinking of walking up to The Orient Hotel but it looks like it's all no stopping up there. TIA

New today - Extra Stuff in Princess Plus & Premier
TommyH2006 replied to arxcards's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
A bit off topic but on the subject of wine: I really miss the old style "Vines" like they had on Golden Princess. It was a dedicated wine bar. The waiters knew the wines they were selling etc. They would have a conversation with you about various wines. The wines on offer in the package were very acceptable. Sometimes I would have to pay an extra $1.50 to get the wine I wanted but that was ok. The "Vines" on Majestic Princess is just another bar. It has lost all the "feel" of a wine bar. The waiters, barmen etc are too busy making cocktails or mixed drinks to have time to converse. Just another whinge, I know. 😁 -
New today - Extra Stuff in Princess Plus & Premier
TommyH2006 replied to arxcards's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
So we get two "free" meals in Alfredo's then pay $23 for the rest? Last cruise I did Alfredo's was free for everyone. What next from Princess??? Celebrity is starting to look good in future. -

Thanks Geoff. I had forgotten about the Bing version. Cheers

I would Geoff but I'm reluctant to give it my personal mobile number to register. Unless you know of another way to access it????

I wonder if I asked ChatGPT what the answer was to "Life, the universe, and everything" would it come up with "42"? 😀
