Oh sorry, I misread your post 😬

Had 2 balcony chairs on my January cruise.

How do you get onto the "never upgrade this person" list? Thanks

That sounds like a lot to do when you are unwell. Were you able to send them the documents they asked for?

If you book on board you can have that booking transferred to your travel agent if you wish.

That sounds like a good idea to me, but you don't do it anymore?

You can buy internet for 24 hours. Easiest in the app once on board.

Yes I believe so.

Just off Royal 2 weeks ago, we didn't book for dinner, one dining room is allocated for anytime dining, never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for a table for two.

Where do they post this list please?

The "gelato" didn't taste to me like genuine gelato which I ate every day in Italy, it was nice enough though.

You buy the fcd on board and can book immediately using it, I have just done so.

Just off the Royal yesterday. The 2 casual dining are Alfredo's and Vines, only option in Vines is the charcuterie board and chocolate truffles. Premium desserts are at the gelato place on deck 5. You can get the regular gelato 1, 2 or 3 scoops instead of the premium desserts which is what we did. We were going to get a couple of the premium desserts just for the photo op but kept forgetting🤣

I had a 4 plug multi strip (non surge protected) confiscated recently. No matter how many times I quoted their own policy to them they wouldn't budge 🤬

I got on in Auckland on Friday. It's not deep cleaning that's causing the delay in Sydney tomorrow it's enhanced immigration.

Hi John, Haven't booked flights yet (coming from Auckland) but will be at least the day before (my nerves couldn't cope with flying in on the day) 😁 See you on board 🚢🥂🍹

There will likely be lots of people getting off in Sydney, a lot of cruisers from the previous cruise before Auckland.

I'm getting on in Sydney too! 😁

I'm in NZ and policy is with AIG. I've just spoken to them and there is no Covid cover! How stupid is that, if Westpac Australia cover Covid but NZ does not, what's the difference? (Rhetorical question but really, that's seems unfair). It also does not cover when in NZ waters, which I see yours does.

Hi, I'm just sorting my insurance now for a January cruise and have Westpac Platinum card. Was this sentence "Eligibility for Cover while Cruising and for Epidemic/Pandemic (such as COVID-19) Cover" specifically stated in the letter you received or in the policy document? Many thanks

What time of year did you do yours? Thanks

Thanks for your response Bruce. I seem to remember that I read ages ago that you get smoother seas in one direction but can't find the info or remember it!

Does anyone know if it is better to do the Australia circumnavigation clockwise or anti-clockwise and the reasons? I read something about this years ago and thought I'd saved it but didn't. It seems some cruises do clockwise and some anti. Google brings up nothing related to this on a cruise ship. TIA for any help
