Im sorry but we can not help you at this time

well, embarked yesterday in Auckland and its been down hill ever since. Much to my great anticipation of everything going wrong and the appalling service that I should expect, nothing so much as a step out of place has been detected yet.

 

The ship is much nicer than I remember, and the service so far has been beyond repproach with everyone bending over backwards to make our stay enjoyable.

Of course thats not to say some of the other passengers havnt given us a few laughs already.....

 

oh and thanks for the hint Whitemarsh. The caviar in Princess is very enjoyable, and funnily enough not often ordered!

 

regards

Come come Roscoe, you are suppose to be enjoying yourself! I thought that it was only the Brits who are the pessimists!! I always thought that New Zealanders are friendly, outgoing, somewhat reserved initially yet polite, and enjoy extending hospitality or so my mother told me.;)

I'm glad you're having a good time. :) In eleven words you've just summed up the QM2 experience. I'm so jealous that you're onboard - I didn't want to get off!!

 

Are you in Queens Grill or Princess Grill?

thanks whitemarsh....47 days and even im jealous of me. Akaroa today was stunning the ship is blown away by the beauty of the area. I wont of course be able to do a daily blog as I am not nearly as elequent as you...but i will impasse a little gossip that you probably knew and were discrete enough not to pass on.

 

there is a couple on board who i met very briefly....they won the sector...in ..

 

A COLOURING COMPETITION!!!

 

it must have seen some competition. I dont know the details but they seem very nice and they are inhabitting one of the big flash apartments at the back of the ship. there was a huge party going on there last night at sailaway....

 

ate in brittania last night. In fact....i have to say it is a nicer room than the grills . luckily thats what i can normally afford.!

We never have time to catch up in Auckland so this is a good way for a natter!!

 

We do need updates please so we can live vicariously through your voyage!! Will get our crayons out, sure beats working!!

 

Do have fun.

E ADDY!! Angels and ministers of grace defend us. The infantilisation of the language takes a giant leap forward.

Glad you're enjoying your cruise - what sorts of things were on offer to do in Akaroa?

 

We'll be there in Nov.

akaroa is amazing the township have really come alive with the ships ocming in. There are lots of tours available at the end of the pier, some guy with old antique cars dressed in period costume was doing tours of the town which looked fun. There were dolphin tours and diving tours. Frankly and sadly I think it would be a good idea to skip christchurch. It would be too sad at the moment.

 

cafes and restaurants on the waterfront were fair heaving with people and the food coming out of the kitchens looked very good value . thoroughly recommended.
