Adelaide has a great Cabaret Festival, which is just finishing for this year (7-22/6/24). They also have the best original agricultural show, the Royal Adelaide Show. (2/9-10/9/23). We used to combine a visit to the show with a visit to Kangaroo Island, prior to the fires. They also have the Adelaide Festival (1-17/3/24). I think Adelaide has the best annual festivals.

I was offered a high deck supposedly better, on my last cruise. No thank you. I choose middle low down for a reason1 I have noticed final payment is earlier now than it used to be. -
Oh no, Is Luminosa coming back to Brisbane?

Yes, I usually book after final payment, when cabins often become available. But I have a Plan B, -
No I'm looking at an Alaskan cruise now. I absolutely loved Alaska, but didn't like five big ships in port at once. We cruised by the Alaskan Marine Highway and stayed days in ports.
-
I agree. I paid for a cruise for each of my daughters, but they don't enjoy cruising as much as I do. However, both have inherited my love of independent travel. We enjoy camping together.
-
I just had a look. I just saw where not to cruise, the Med and Alaska. We are the lucky country, so we should enjoy it before the cruise lines wake up.
-
Thanks I'm going to have a wonderful time with that.

SA school holidays might make it less good. When I was at Sanctuary Cove sitting in the sun, enjoying a coffee, most people around me were from SA! Seeing their recent bad weather, I don't blame them. -
I agree, as I travel with a medium size port. plus hand luggage. However my daughters travel with hand luggage only so I know it can be done.

thank you I thought it was a tongue in cheek name, not a real name. We have dainty snakes, not kiler pythons!

Buy merino/possum warm gloves, plus a merino/possum neck gaiter in NZ. Expensive, but you get your money's worth on all future travel to cold countries, plus they are light. Also merino singlets will keep you warm, without weight.

I Don't know them. Could one of the clever people attach a photo?

What I enjoy about flying business class now, is now I need it! I didn't need it when I was younger flying with a family of four.

Thanks. So they cruise past Muscat to Dubai. I like that the Tracker has ports of call on left. as well as the map.
-
Thanks I knew they were missing a port but didn't realise it was Muscat. They announced that they were missing a port early, in that case.
-
Thanks. I thought they may have arrived early after missing a port. Are they visiting Muscat?

Is Coral Princess in Dubai?

I cruised on Carnival Luminosa last year and I liked everything about the ship, which was in good condition. The food was very good. Maybe it is just Splendour which is sub standard.

I think they are good. -
Yes, it is possible to cruise with carry on only, but you'd need to wear your heavier winter gear. Or have it across your arm on departure in USA, plus a small material bag to put it on the flight. This becomes an extra pillow.
-
Have a good flight. Hope engine troubles on ship have been repaired in Dubai.

Cruise Ships Aust Covid Rules
MMDown Under replied to Zanny's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Yes I agree it will be interesting to see what happens on current WC on Coral Princess with regard to number of passengers who get Covid. -
June 15, 2023 - Luminosa/Seattle/Alaska
MMDown Under replied to elainmir's topic in Carnival Luminosa Roll Calls
I hope all passengers are enjoying their cruise to Seattle and Alaska. -
Disappointing that the ship has engine troubles this early in the cruise, causing the missing of a port.
