Rare MicCanberra Posted March 31, 2018 #26 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi Mic, we met you and Rosie ( and your brother ?)... with Gai on the Solstice a while ago.... we were still in Adelaide then, we are near Canberra now.... where are you off to next? :) cheers S&D That explains why I was a bit confused, I recognised the name but not from nr Canberra. We are on the Ovation of the Seas out of Hong Kong in May for our next one, it goes to Japan (the others are in my sig block). You should join us at the Cruisers meet ups we have in Canberra. Go to FB and look for ACT Cruisers. We meet on the 2nd Saturday of the month at the Canberra Yacht club (Southern Cross club) Yarralumla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpe Posted April 1, 2018 #29 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi there Thorpe, we did the same,booked those same cabins on Emerald on the first day the bookings were open, we have 2 cabins.... see you onboard!, are you on the rollcall?... cheers S&D :) Hi, not on roll call. Have had a look there occasionally, but because the Sth Pacific is virtually a local cruise I didn’t feel the need to join, and it’s a short cruise. But I’ll pop on over and have another read [emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
