joandian Posted August 5, 2014 #78 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Hadn't even considered their Kiwi encounters....lol It's always fun to ask a Kiwi to say six, six, six :D If I had a dollar for every time someone in the States told me they loved my accent, I'd be rich. I do however look at them and with a very straight face say 'What accent, it's you guys who have the funny accent'. Most understand it's a joke. As for the Collingwood guy, you really have to feel sorry for him. Delusional bogans are the worst. GO HAWKS! Ok, off to finish packing to head to the equal best place in Australia!

jan-n-john Posted August 5, 2014 Author #79 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thank you jan-n-john for your initial question. I hope you have been able to make sense of all this throughout the thread and that you get to enjoy your trip down-under. Well, I have understood some, but certainly not all. This thread, not to mention this trip, have been and promise to be a continuing educational experience, and I am looking forward to it with great anticipation. In thinking back, I now recall that during my time working in Europe (I was with the UN in Geneva) I had two bosses from Australia, not just one as I earlier posted, but neither of them filled me in on any of this. So a big thank you to all who have chimed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannandjohn Posted August 5, 2014 #80 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It might have helped if the OP had told us exactly which cruise and cruiseline they were going to be on, then we would know what level of "undress" to the nines " guidelines they would need to follow. My guess is the ship will be full of Americans too, and they wont know by looking at the passengers where they come from anyway.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodyren Posted August 5, 2014 #82 Share Posted August 5, 2014 My guess is the ship will be full of Americans too, and they wont know by looking at the passengers where they come from anyway.;) You certainly won't be able to tell me apart, by the nice clobber I am wearing on formal night, from the Yanks and Poms. The only slight giveaway for the really observant OS passengers might be the zinc on my nose and the corks in my hat. By the way. Is it OK to wear my brown felt hat to formal night or will I need a black one with a satin band? If so does anyone know where you can get black corks?

I wear my brown leather hat but t's so worn n places that it looks black. The best thing for your corks is to hold them over the fire for a while, just under the Billy is best.

k9x8 Posted August 6, 2014 #93 Share Posted August 6, 2014 And to the person above who equated bogan with redneck, yes, I live in deep redneck country (Western NC). Could this have anything to do with why we enjoy getting away and cruising so much? Well, bless your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Trans Pacific I did, the leg to Hawaii had 130 Aussies and 2300 US pax (out of 2800) with around 130 CC members. The next leg had 1300 Aussies and around 600 US with around 60 CC members. My point is that the cruise may still have lots of Aussies on board.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joandian Posted August 6, 2014 #99 Share Posted August 6, 2014 But if there's no Corks what do I do about the blowies? The old plastic bottle trick with honey inside might work. Wonder if it could be adapted for personal use. Maybe worn as a pendant on a leather strap? Feom - San Francisco waiting for my delayed flight to Sydney!
