Surely stocked up enough to get to Papeete, and you should never buy fuel on the weekend 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't often get to see an Egyptian Army formation parading - tanks and all. I was absolutely exhausted at the end of the day of our Suez transit - so much time on our feet going from side to side to see everything. Horses for courses. We have both three times and prefer the Panama Canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really enjoyed the sets of four or five sea days in a row on the Hawaii/Tahiti cruise. We got into a lovely sea day routine during that cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the 18 night Hawaii to Sydney via Tahiti Repo Cruise on Carnival Legend in 2018, after Disneyland. Best family trip ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s part of their quarantine prior to starting cruising in Australia in June Also, under the current protocols in the US, their long cruises end up with covid spreading, so not a great way for a new ship to announce itself in Brisbane. The crew doesn't really need to quarantine for arrival, just need to return negative tests, although easy to sort this while crossing the Pacific. They couldn't really plan an itinerary either, as many of the usual ports are still closed. Pacific Encounter & Pacific Adventure will also head this way without passengers. It will be interesting to see how it goes with the passenger carrying ships when they start arriving in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
