    I didn't see the Arcade either. It is that kind of ship, full of surprises.

    Cyclone Lincoln is reforming off Broome, WA. What an interesting journey this cyclone has followed!

    I did read two singles would be in a L shape, but I couldn't work out how the side unit on the bed worked. I put the big wooden tray on it!

    When we go camping at festivals, we take a hammock to hang between two trees. It is relaxing to return to the campsite in the middle of the day with a good book and a cold drink. I hope your wife finds one on your travels down under.

    That is a shame as the ice cream was delicious. I only discovered it with help near the end.

    20 places to eat. You will never be wanting for somewhere to eat. On the last day of a eleven day cruise, I found the pizza place and Italian Restaurant so I had pizza for lunch and was able to book a place for dinner at the Italian Restaurant.

    I walked outside the taxi enclosure and booked a car for the day for a set price. The driver took us to a number of beautiful beaches and waited for us. It was an interesting day, with farmers drying their crops on the road in one place. We paid on return to ship.

    Yes The ones I had were real hash browns.

    I agree. Money was paid as a future cruise deposit, which won't be possible if there were no local Aust/NZ cruises.

    We were the same. Brisbane is a big city in area so some areas get more rain than others. We are close to Albany Creek, Bray Park north west side of Brisbane, which received torrential rain and local flooding.

    No cyclones near Brisbane, but torrential rain and local flooding all night Thursday/Friday. Went for a walk along a creek today and you could see how high the water had been rushing through.

    Lucky there was no drinking game during your Korean dinner. There was a noisy table near us that was having lots of fun loudly participating.

    Agree a NZ cruise can give you a taste for a longer land tour later.
  14. MMDown Under
    No. The clapping was part of the game during dinner.

    Cyclone Lincoln, Level 1, Gulf of Carpentaria heading for NT Coast.

    Wow you must have incredible patience.

    In mid summer, It can be cool on deck because of the sea breeze. No proper coat needed, just a light wrap or jumper to wear over summer clothes.

    Brisbane has received the most rain since 2022 floods. Lots of local flooding in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. More than 1,000 homes were without power on the Northern Gold Coast. Parts of Brisbane have recorded up to 200 millimetres of rain, with more to come. BOM

    Wow they are beautiful. Do you make one thing at a time or have several works of art on the go at once?

    I hope Resilient Lady will be coming back to Australia in 2024/25. If they don't, they will loose all the favourable publicity from this year's Aust/NZ new cruisers. In addition, if they don't return, they would need to refund money paid as a future cruise deposit

    I've always found it is better and less expensive to organise your own independent tours. I hope you got a part refund for not visiting Nelson's Dockyard, plus spending two hours on the beach,

    I have always admired the talent and imagination of Richard Branson since he established Virgin records and Virgin Megastore in Oxford Street, London in 1979.
  23. MMDown Under
    Did you clap?
  24. MMDown Under
    I had a limited view cabin on Resilient Lady on Deck 8 and could see the water between the lifeboats.

    I enjoyed the food at Gunbae, the Korean restaurant. They played a drinking game, but you didn't have to drink alcohol.
