so sad thoughts go to her family and friends and the poor staff who have to keep looking

Thanks everyone As DH does not have a jacket (other than the tux) would just a shirt and tie be acceptable

How many elegant/formal/chic nights on a 12 day Carnival cruise and how formal are they now DH happy to use tux but will not pack it if no one wears them on Carnival Australia these days

The web site says if in AUD no gratuities (we are going from England to Australia next year and AUD on board NO GRATUITIES

The NZ cruise was the one we were on and it was a full ship not just 900 passengers I am not sure where you got that number from The Captain advised a ship complement of passengers of 3280

I am surprised at the OP comments we left Majestic last week and never were anyone allowed near the self service tea and coffee machines we always had to have a server do the necessary even mixing my coffee tubes I bring I also noted they filled cruisers flasks for them by using cups as a half way container How can this have changed so quickly??

No 100% sure about buckets of beer but I THINK so however to my knowledge no happy hour on P&O Buying cards for drinks is always subjective how many do you normally drink and are there a lot of sea days or port days to make the quite high cost worth while?

Just disembarked from Majestic while still in last 2 isolation days They took our embarkation cards and did not give us luggage tags They said they would take us all off together after everyone else had gone BUT later that night I was given luggage tags to be the FIRST off and we completed NEW cards when we reached the emigration/customs table No problems just different information which changed to our benefit as we had an early train to catch

No I disagree Punctuality is STILL a politeness and cruisers coming in late and faffing abut trying to find their friends or a seat are disruptive to the audience and the entertainer not cool at all. Reserved seats should be released at least 7/10 minutes before the show commences

Thanks that must be the reason but we were given first off yellow 1 and had to complete another form as they had not been passed over but all good and home by 10.55 Happy Dance now laundry (as could not send any after being tested positive as they use HOT water for covid people's laundry)

Keep hopeful more prayers going your way

We were on the Majestic and the test everyone had to take found my DH as Positive but he had no symptoms and then after isolation on the next time we were needed to test I was positive so only had 2 days of isolation. Also no symptoms It is obvious they testing everyone is an excellent idea and we had to show our cabin steward the test results so no cheating

Also I would like to know what the situation is in Australia

So different we have found. On majestic now dh positive on day 5 magnificent treatment. Phone calls 3 times a day checking meals have arrived and are we happy and feeling ok. Cholates received to make us feel better. I just write extras on a blank piece of the order form for latte. Brandy and sodas. We have free wifi and am glad that if we had to catch it we are where we are being very well cared for. Special phone no. For any requests so no complaints at all here

On majestic full cruise. Food excellent lots of choices served. Hot and well served we also found it to be the same on the coral last month. No complaints at. All

Just wondering why they collected our declaration forms for customs. That is new

Today all previous negatives were retested nsw required. I am positive but ok no symptoms. Great treatment best place to get covid for us as we have been very well looked after almost spoiled

Fabulous treatment dh positive so staying in room. Just received Godiva chocolates as we are in isolation. Cannot say enough at the treatment we are receiving I can go and get drinks etc if required but room service is very fast

Knock on door gift of Godiva chocolate as they are sad we are in isolation. Fabulous treatment

I am sure there are quite a few as letter received advising captain s party cancelled giving voucher for free drinks instead. No tables anywhere trays removed immediately and marked with red dots

On majestic princess now husband is positive so isolated in cabin and after every single meal we get a telephone call asking if we had had the meal delivered and was everything OK is there anything else we want cannot complain in any way about our treatment the medical center phone on the first day twice to see if we need you to need medication and no complaints whatsoever here on the majestic

There is an expensive tour for this from the ship after all aboard so only a few take part

Replying to everybody the whole ship was tested yesterday DH had no symptoms but tested positive we have a balcony so all together I can leave to pick things up but he is isolated I was given the choice of splitting up but we keep each other company thanks for your good wishes

Majestic today everyone test. Dh positive so he is isolated for 5 days then re test

Just using WiFi and catching up keep safe Yvonne
