I have double Creme Brulees every night with a side serve of icecream, good sugar fix Geoffrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Indian Ocean Circle. It has been a while since they have done that, and overdue for another shot. They did a few Pacific Circles, so those must have been a bit easier to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that once en route to Hawaii (Big island), as it was less expensive. At one stage, I looked at flying to Alaska via Hawaii. I learnt to make the flights part of the holiday, When I used to fly with Air NZ, we stopped at all the South Pacific islands on their routes to USA/UK. And bonus for when we went through last year it was the most relaxed and easiest entry into the USA we've ever had. Short queue, really pleasant staff - it was night and day compared to LAX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see another Cruise to South America that stated ended in OZ same to Africa. We'd also love to do a full Circle Pacific I've heard a rumour there could be one in 2015. It would have to be on a different ship to Coral unless they cancel the regular long cruises. I think it used to be a 75 night cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival's Luminosa is returned to Australia from Alaska via Japan, which will be an interesting change from the South Pacific.. I'd like to do a Circle Indian Ocean on an affordable ship.

We were a table of 10 in 2008 and sadly although for several years we also met up with the others they had passed now Just we 4 left. From other cruise tables (or trivia teams) we have made firm friends from loads of countries who we meet and stay with and visa versa - must be some 40 couples by now A great way to make lifelong friends - even if - at our age we get depleted every now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, it took me a while to work out why those passengers had their get togethers listed in the Patter 😄 Ditto for friends of Dorothy 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
