We are staying at the Hilton (very nice hotel) .My 60th and we are spending mum&dads ashes in Port Douglas as they requested. Who cares about Covid ,you have to die of something. Lovely ship ,a lot of older people but at least they are doing it . If there’s a cruise on coral that suites me I would be on it at a drop of a hat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mask up and go on cruises. Who cares which ship as long as it has lots of bells and whistles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment there isn't much choice of places the ship can go anyway. She really is a lovely ship. A small ship that feels like a bigger ship is some ways, as it has very good public spaces. We really enjoyed our 7 night cruise on her and are looking forward to a longer, B2B, cruise on her in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO you need a minimum of five days to really get enough time to explore a ship and how the daily routines work, to experience the different types of entertainment, try out different dining venues including a speciality restaurant, and so on.

I have a open mind but I do have a few of the milk runs on Royal this season. I was thinking about going overseas next year to the U.S. or Europe but I’m thinking about staying closer to home . ‘They say a change of cruise lines are as good as a holiday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great fun to try different lines, although you always end up coming back to one favourite. Princess in our case for a number of reasons - AUD onboard costs is a big one for us, so much easier. When does the first Royal ship arrive. Surely you've got time to do a short cruise on Coral Princess before then? We'd love to go to Europe again but don't handle the long distance flights very well any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
