Well we booked on the Edge in March back to N.z. within 6 weeks but looking forward to exploring the ship. We were lucky I only saw one wheel chair and one mobility scooter on Resilient Lady.i was surprised that there were slot of older people on the cruise mostly over65 I think

Hi. When the 2 new ships entered Aust last year.I was eager to try the Edge and Virgins Resilient Lady ship. Having just got home from an 11 night cruise on the Resilient Lady she certainly lived up to the great expectations I have we had a great time. I could not fault it. Hoping to book the Edge to N.Z. again for Msrch to compare in my opinion the ship is the destination. Any thoughts on the Celebrity Edge ship. Thanks in advance

We are onlvthis cruise also if it's the one in mid Jan looking forward to the new experience. Regards Zanny

Hi All Just read that there is a large outbreak of gastro and covid on the Grand Princess that is due in Adelaide tomorrow. Was wondering if any one else has heard anything. Regards Zanny

Already have a virgin cruise booked January 2024 and live in Adelaide but I think it's a great idea would have book the dinner and tour if I lived in those 2 states

Don't know if you have to book dinner to get go and look over the ship

Hi I just saw that the Virgin Ship Resilient Lady will be open to the public on Dec 5th later in the day to have a look at the ship and book one of the restaurants. For dinner Cost is $99.(not sure if aust dollar although I would say U.S. dollars. I have a cruise booked on the ship mid Jan but if you lived in Sydney I think this is a great idea. What are your thoughts? Regards Zanny

We are booked on Resilient Lady ship from Auckland mid Jan.11 nights Not too sure what to expect the food etc has great reviews (I think the food could be too fancy for us) but are going to enjoy the challenge. Would also like to go on Celebrity Edge but haven't booked and not sure if that will happen. Regards Zanny

On The Resilient Lady Virgin's Ship. Includes flight to Auckland and 2 nights hotel pre cruise also a bar tab. Overnight in Taurunga.

Hi I was wondering if many of cruise critic members have booked a cruise on the 2 new ships coming to Aust later this year. I know they are fairly new especially the Virgin one. At the moment the cheapest cabins are round $300aust per night. Do you think they will come down in price as the time get closer to arrival here in Aust. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated. Regards Zanny

Thanks for all your replies I was just interested how long people think this will go on for. I have had 5 covid jabs and also still wear a mask and face shield everytime I go out in public still. Regards Zanny

Hi Was just wondering what peoples views are on when all the covid isolation and test rules could end for cruise ships in Australia.. I am not against the rules by any means but seeing in most parts of the world now on cruises there aren't any restrictions to isolate etc if you test positive. Surely the rules can't go on forever.This is mainly curiosity on what others think Thanks Zanny

Hi. Was wondering if they still do ice carving on Australian cruises.Recently I was on P&O and they never had it .I am sure years ago they had it Thanks Tanya

We missed Wellington on Pacific Explorer 3 weeks ago due to bad weather and was about 4 to 5 hours late arriving at the others. Alot got covid on this trip as it was a 14 day cruise every one had to wear masks from day 8. I wore mine from day 1.Husband tested positve 2 days after we arrived home. I have escaped it.I felt sorry for alot of the older passengers as they had been looking forward to visiting N.Z. for ages Regards Zanny

Hi What ship are you going on.? Just off Pacific Explorer and hubby has cpap machine..We took a powerboard one WITHOUTSURGE PROTECTION. as they aren't allowed and an extension cord we had 1 Australian power point. He always uses boiled water which you can get from cabin steward. Also on P&O ships you can't even take unopened bottle water has to be in cans. Also think it depends on what company ship you are going on. Hope this helps . Regards,Zanny

Hi All. Well just of Pacific Explorer today after 14 day cruise. Lots of cabins in iso with covid. Not many people wearing masks the first week. From Tuesday 21st March all staff and passengers had to wear masks indoors. I wore mine from day 1 and a face shield and never took the lifts so far all good. I was very careful every where. Most people were just carrying on like covid never existed which surprised me Regards Zanny

Hi Just off Pacific Explorer today had face washers and tissues in cabin Regards Zanny

Thank you cruise leaves 13th march from Adelaide.will pack a parka type jacket etc

Hi.We are going 14 day cruise to N.Z. leaving from Adelaide .How many warmer clothes would we need to pack to wear during the day there. I really don't want to fill my case up with lots of jumpers coats etc. As the ship will either have air-conditioning on or if it's cold heating. We will be leaving in 1 weeks time. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Zanny.

Hi Well we have about 4 Sea days straight not counting the 1st day. Now I don't think they have to wear the masks on the ship now. We won't be flying Hope we stay safe as I am very sensible regarding covid never had it will be using stairs etc Thanks Zanny

Hi Anjo. Just letting you know that we won't be in that cabin after all as they have just changed our rooms again to deck 11. Regards Zanny

Thanks I will they don't know me so doesn't matter hey Thanks Zanny
