I was in Sydney overnight staying at Darling Harbour. Didn't realise that the RotS was just round the corner.

 

Passing through the airport at lunchtime I overhead a number of people taling "Cruising". Now I know why :D

 

Roll on this years cruise season

 

cheers

Alaska on the Radiance was our first cruise. I remember thinking I had an idea of how big she was from the dimensions - then we walked on to the dock and I looked up and was completely blown away. And actually she's kind of a medium sized ship compared to some of the new ones.

 

We'll be arriving in Sydney in exactly 4 months for our cruise(s) around Oz. Can't wait. :D

[The_Big_M]

Nice photos!

 

I must be getting used to these liners here as she doesn't seem so big to me. Hard to imagine how much space Voyager will take there though!

[mommabean]

So cool. How exciting.

 

I see Berenice the guest services manager in the close up of the security check in area on deck 5. I also see Francisco is finally back - the nice white haired security supervisor. I missed him last cruise - great guy. Is that Steven, the DL concierge, standing in the middle of the picture speaking to someone? :D

 

I love seeing this people from afar. Thanks for posting.

I'm happy you like the photos, I was actually down at the Quay at 9am (yep, I'm keen) and will be traveling when you guys return on the 20th. I had thought of doing the 2 day sampler but thought I would instead go the whole hog :D with a trip round NZ. :D:D Especially as I took up a WOW offer on a balcony (my first):):):)

Great photos.Got off the Radiance yesterday and today it's back to reality.

I was in a balcony on deck 7 which was handy for hanging out a bit of washing.I didn't realize that from some parts of the Windjammer people could see into our balcony and I hope that the image of my cottontails blowing in the breeze didn't frighten them:)

That is so funny, I guess from the bridge they could see your washing. Did they offer any specials during the cruise for laundry?
