To long ago to remember.

What do they do if cyclonic weather is about for round Oz cruises ? The Coral P is due to depart Sydney on 29th Feb and travel in an anti clockwise direction. Lots of international visitors onboard.

Thanks for your responses which were very helpful. Cheers, Barry

Geoff, have you asked security on the Coral when you have departed the ship at ports in Australia and what was their response? We are on Coral on the round Oz cruise at the end of Feb next. Barry

Agree that the charm of Mystery Island is the limited commercialisation and its natural beauty. Hopefully development plans do not proceed.

Best wishes for some great cruises.

What would footy team support be without bias? With Princess abandoning home porting in Melbourne it was inevitable they would link elsewhere. Their support of Sydney Swans won't endear them in the other states. We are a parochial lot but that's half the fun, isn't it ?

As a Blues supporter a resounding NO !!!

Thanks for these excellent reviews. We are doing around Oz in 3 months on Coral so comments were very helpful. Will take plenty of coffee bags and mugs with lids to carry hot water. Glad you had a most enjoyable cruise.

I'm with you Don. Will be travelling elsewhere when homeporting ends here. Have a great cruise. Barry

The British gentleman we dined with on QE pre covid still wore his tie when gardening !! He would be shocked at your suggestion Les. A bloke from Broken Hill suggested formal dress for him was long socks and clean shorts but was howled down when he enquired whether this was acceptable dining room attire on Cunard.

Great to read your home again Les pain free. Sending best wishes.

Unfortunately you can no longer exchange your minibar setup for a coffee card. Not fair for non drinkers IMO.

We stayed at the Rendezvous Hotel in Harrington Street 3 weeks ago having walked their with our luggage from the cruise terminal. We can confirm it was comfortable and reasonably priced.

Agree. Whilst having been to PI many times we enjoyed the day similar to your experience. The penguins are the attraction to overseas cruisers.
