Gold Coast Cruisers Posted March 6, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Great idea David, it would be lovely to hear from someone onboard. We're taking our son and daughter-in-law on this little cruise..... birthday present for them both this year. Plus another friend who has just turned 40 so we all bought him the cruise for his 40th. This will be his first ever cruise.:) It's always so exciting being with someone on their first cruise, particularly the look on their face when the see the ship for the first time. He's single so if there's any single girls out there on this little cruise, come and say hello to us.... ;) Jilly:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Coast Cruisers Posted March 9, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I wonder why ships no longer call in to Cooktown? We did a couple of cruises on Rhapsody that did. It's a lovely little town and great people who were very welcoming. Jilly:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debsta Posted March 10, 2011 #19 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I received an email today from friends of mine who are boarding in Hong Kong, however, they have already left OZ and doing some pre-touring in Asia beforehand. They send awesome emails of their travels and keep fellow friends updated. I want to grow up to be like them LOL :p When they get to the ship I will post snippets I think will be of interest :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted March 11, 2011 Author #21 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Just read on the Cunard Roll Call board , that QM2 has canceled her call at Nagasaki. Looks like Japan may be off for the Cherry Blossom cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Australian family Posted March 11, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Just read on the Cunard Roll Call board ,that QM2 has canceled her call at Nagasaki. Looks like Japan may be off for the Cherry Blossom cruise. I wondered that too, but the cruise map shows it going to the southern end of Japan, and quake happened in the northern part of Japan. I hope they don't cancel the Japan sector. But if it has to be for safety etc, then that is what they have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Coast Cruisers Posted March 11, 2011 #23 Share Posted March 11, 2011 With possible changes to the Cherry Blossom cruise, I wonder how that will affect those of us who have booked that little 2 nighter from BNE to SYD at the end of that cruise?

Jilly:) I dont think that will be effected as they will keep on schedule. What ever they choose to do they should be back on the planned itinerary by then.
