Something for you to think about.

 

When we went through the Asian part of our cruise to UK on Oriana - we found it to be very hot in the equatorial parts of the cruise. I suspect that parts of your cruise will also be very hot. It was so hot that the aircon on Oriana struggled to cope (and I have recently received an email from a friend on the Sun Princess which said that that ship's aircon was also struggling). I found that, in our cabin, it was not only a little too warm for us - but there was insufficient airflow. I would have paid anything to get hold of a small quiet room fan. I said over and over that "next time" I would bring a small fan.

 

I am not sure of where you live in regard to your departure from Sydney - but anyway, have a think about it.

This link on your Blog - http://thequiltersquilter.com.au/Images/PostsSydneytoDover.pdf -- reads Posts - Sydney to Dover . Is that right ? or should it read Ports - Sydney to Dover??

Very good suggestion Barry. We were on a cruise once when the air con broke down in the tropics , and would loved to have had a fan .

If you are not limited by flight baggage weight constraints, it would be a good idea.

I recall from the blogs of the 2010 Dawn Princess WC - it was extremely hot in some of the ports that they visited - especially in the Indian and Middle eastern ports. ( Summer - Northern Hemisphere) That was why we were happy that we would be going through these areas in their winter - HOWEVER, it was still a lot hotter in places like Bangkok, Singapore and Mumbai than we thought it would be. I actually almost passed out from the heat in Singapore! and others also did in Bangkok (and this was in their Winter :eek:) I remember going out onto the beautiful Promenade deck of Oriana one night - after a Captains reception wearing a Tuxedo - and it was like being slapped in the face with a hot wet towel!! :) Fortunately there were parts of Oriana where the aircon worked exceptionally well - but that is another story (extra cardigan, madam?? ) :p

Well all the stuff is out about somewhere.... just have to find the right bag to fit that kitchen sink in!!:p

[bazzaw]

Put all the clothes and the money on the bed - then halve the clothes and double the money!!! :p

 

Because of the "formality" of P&O UK , I took 6 jackets - a Tux, a suit and 4 sports coats ! I know, I know - my wife told me many times - over the top!! :rolleyes: - and 5 pairs of shoes!

So utterly green with envy that my face looks like this :D except without the grin.

DH has assured me that he will take me on a world cruise in the future when we reach a more mature age. I am now getting that in writing ;)

 

Have a great time guys!
