I noticed Carnival Splendor was anchored off Bundaberg today. I put I post up on Facebook about that, so I will be interested to see if any passenger see it and say if it was a port of call or a butt scrape.

I normally would not post just screen shots of a map of a place, but this is special 🙂 Pacific Explorer has made it to Norfork Island today! 😮 and going by reports from Facebook friends, passenger are going ashore on Norfork Island! As we all know Norfork Island is a hard place for passenger to get ashore. I think this is Pacific Explorer only 2? - 3 time passenger have been able to get ashore there!.

Jo has updated her blog 🙂 Colombo: https://gaznjoworld2023.blogspot.com/2023/06/colombo-better-late-than-never.html

After leaving Colombo, Sri Lanka on Tuesday, she is now on her way on Muscat, Oman...., opps scratch that....., Just check her AIS..... She is now on her way to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.... That means she has missed her first port of call of the cruise. 😞 Coral Princess is due to arrive in Dubai on the 25th June 2023. Coral Princess is currently of the coast of Goa, India:

is that per person?

One-way.

We are currently on holiday in Scotland to catch with with family and friends who we have not seen in 3/4 years (Since Covid). I thought while we where in Scotland / UK we might do a cruise or two from England or from Europe!, but I am amazed at how crazy the price of the flights to Europe is 😲. We even thought we might be able to fly to the USA or Canada to do a relocation cruise back to New Zealand, but the flight prices are crazy! like 530+ pounds per person to fly to Canada! 😲 Anyone know what's up with the price of flights in the UK?! Also what websites do you use to find flights from the uk?, I know about Skyscanner but they are a pain!

What websites do you guys use to find flights? We have been looking at a few different cruises all over the world, but finding flights have been a bit of a pain. Before covid we use to use Webjet a bit, but they now have a booking fee, so that rules them out. I know about Skyscanner but they are a pain to use!

Good Morning from the UK: Coral Princess has finally arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka:

Thank You for the update 🙂

Coral Princess departing Singapore: Thank You to "Cruise the World" FB page for the photos.

Here are some photos of the Coral Princess arriving in to Singapore. Thank You to "Cruise the World" FB page for the photos.

Coral Princess docked in Singapore today. She is at the Marina Bay Cruise Center.

I forget about her, We where meant to do that cruise..... 😞

Thank You 🙂

P&O Australia are going to PNG in the winter as well. A few weeks back all 3 P&O Australia ships where up in PNG, they where about 3 - 4 days behind each other.

I think this could be the Coral Princess first time to Komodo island and this also could be the first? cruise ship from Australia to stop at Komodo island since the island re-opened to cruise ships.

Coral Princess anchored off Komodo island, Indonesia today:

Welcome back to the cruise life! 🚢 A few things have changed (Some good, some bad) over the last 5 years (including the covid related changes).

I might have a link but its to Facebook, so I cannot post it here 😞
