  1. Only doing 10 knots currently. Hope it can test the engines properly at 18-20 knots.
  2. The books will stand alone but it is better to read them in order.
  3. You may want to pack your brolly for your days visiting Cairns and Airlie Beach.
  4. Good stuff, will check out Eagle beach in October.
  5. It actually got to the 32nd page but the last 24 comments were deleted.one bright spark was insisting the Captain had refused orders from the Coast Guard and that it was motivated by racism.
  6. Perhaps, I had read that it was only some of the expenses incurred as the ship failed to get to Gambia, and they boarded in Senegal instead.
  7. Perhaps the news story didn't cross the desk of the usual editors.
  8. The other thread is over 30 pages and still going. The pax that missed the ship are back on board, and still complaining and still doing interviews with media. BTW, NCL is reimbursing them for the travel between Gambia and Senegal, as the ship couldn't get into that port due to tides.
  9. All good questions but for the most part unanswered as only the passengers left behind can answer them.
  10. You don't know what cabin category she may have had or how long her cruise/ cruises were. We are doing a similar set of cruises next year and have just a balcony and it will be close to that for all 3 cruises.
  11. Agreed, for the first part. However, for the second, their luggage and passports would already have been off loaded as well, we don't know all the facts and or rules with either the port or ship. As for coast guard boat to reload them, I am sure there are protocols that needed to be breached for that to happen. I do feel sad for their situation but not sorry for them.
  12. Yep, the boot will be on for a month longer than expected as well as being non weight bearing. We felt the cruise could still work but getting around otherwise and not being able to walk was too restricted.
  13. Too be fair, the letter does state that is the case in the very first sentence.
  14. Well, due to the surgeon saying recovery will take longer than a few months, we have bit the bullet and cancelled our trip to Europe and the cruise around France. We have also postponed our Cape York trip till next year. New target. 176.
