Not for the lack of work but lack of services and the the cost. It is nice but just another rural area. Unfortunately, Kingscote wasn't a good choice as it is just the main shopping centre and the surrounding area is mainly rural. Not far from there on the north coast is the beach voted No.1 beach in Australia, where you walk through a rock to reach the beach. I'm often surprised at what is offered on ship's tours. I always think where would I take people in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, not what is offered on ship tours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just any rural Australian town by the sea . Every thing was boarded up and closed. I went there Glen ,so I could tell not to bother . Adelaide was way better. Great to hear you got to KI Chilli! We spent a week at American River April 2022.. Flew in and got the ferry out. It was a mistake having no car but got some relaxation and did a day bus tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It holds more appeal for us than Ovation, Virgin & Disney combined. Yet we cancelled, oh well. It was for reasons other than the ship, so maybe we will cruise Edge down the track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wrong ship for Captain Kate, who while also being happily married, is also the Master of Celebrity Beyond. Even Tasos has jumped ship, so there will be a new skipper down here on Edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get all that on what about someone getting something more sinister on? You know , something absolutely unthinkable,something a Crown and Anchor member has nightmares about, a Princess Medallion or such ( princess members probably have nightmares also) But where’s the security? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springaussie Posted November 25, 2023 #1343 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Incase anyone missed it Ovation was back in Sydney today 0600 - 0800 owing to a medical emergency .

We were asked to go B2B Ovation with friends and would have missed Dunedin both times. Dunedin was the main reason we would have went. The other half wants to save her leave so we did the quick spin on Quantum last weekend instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
