  1. FREE ... breakfast ....take 10 and put in cabin fridge . Or oj or apple juice .
  2. Nothing can be added after you leave the ship .
  3. For Royal and X points do not transfer the levelis only recognised.
  4. Send email , get everything in writing , another reason to have cash account not a credit card on file .🙂
  5. Ovation South Pacific have no idea if overnight or just Noumea , has happened on Dora .
  6. Grab a cab mate 👍 https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Sydney-Airport-SYD/The-Rocks
  7. Did you get a Royal up ? Studio interior to balcony obstructed for $440 . Under 2 k for solo ... over the moon with that price.😁
  8. 16 November for me , that blue still looks like a undercoat , needs to be darker ..😃
  9. Just arrived on Encounter , once apon a time was a princess , no self serve in The Pantry , wash station at entrance. Now thats a roast.
  10. You are so wrong . A visa and a ETA are two different things .
  11. https://uk.embassy.gov.au/lhlh/Visas_and_Migration.html
  12. Was on Coral for a month , many people did not wash hands or use sanitizing lotion . Would walk in via tables , say that they just wash them , just pretend they were going to sink. Same going on in the toilets.!!!
  13. Get a RAT from the chemists and do it , take a time stamped photo on phone . Even those going to South Pacific as they are relying on Australian protocols . https://www.tga.gov.au/products/covid-19/covid-19-tests/covid-19-rapid-antigen-self-tests-home-use/covid-19-rapid-antigen-self-tests-are-approved-australia
  14. Tryed all day , cannot get through to call centre . Need to apply ffc and obc cannot do on line . Lomanosa Qld 55+ price are unbelievable compared to prices in 8 months.😃 might just pay and get applied later , oct 31 was cutoff.
  15. You will be out like a light or on a deck chair , depending on what 13 ports you have .🤣
  16. At those prices book , book , book , on hold now booking lomanosa . Currently on Splendor b2b had frogs legs MDR last night and breakfast eggs /omelettes cooked in front of you not from a warmer .Guys burgers ..... DORA has the best entertainment cast and the $12 pizza are fantastic . Coral was 1k more and disappointing , the free pizza and pre cooked food can go to the fish . was on her for 3 cruises . Princess from o/s is totally different . Swap to Encounter for the Melbourne Cup . There is CC folk think Coral is all that plus more they can have her and she is a ghost ship after 10:16 pm .
  17. Depends more on the price you are paying for your cruise . Can't beat Princess drink/ net package . P&O Entertainment cast excellent and rather pay $12 for a great pizza $ 8 burger than so called free on Princess . Carnival is also back sailing , snails and pink prime rib for dinner , eggs and omelettes cooked in front of you not from a warmer but the singing and dancing. Are those Brisbane sailing prices on Lomanosa a miss print ! Loyal to royal ? A cruises is a cruise 😷
  18. Tipping is not customary as Australian are payed a wage and on weekends / public holidays a 15 % fee will be included in price as are taxes . Nearly all merchants have " tap and go " either visa or mastercard and pay by phone also . American Express , Diners card are not widely accepted and if they are have highest fees . How much Au or NZ dollars you need depends on tap water or champagne taste . ATM will only have the local currency . Spend away and enjoy .
  19. There is no phone reception , The way cruises ships go . You can go by water from Brisbane to Cairns and have phone reception .
