BON VOYAGE Coral Princess World Cruisers 2023

[Kiwi_cruiser]

After about 3 (4?) years of NO World Cruises due to covid, the world cruises from Australia are back! 😁 and this time on a different ship! the Coral Princess! 🚢

The last time I did this thread in 2018 it was the Sea Princess!

 

On Tuesday 6th June 2023 Coral Princess sets off from Brisbane and for her epic 108 day round the world cruise!.

 

Bon Voyage!

 

Wishing you all a really fantastic time as your departure date approaches ever nearer.

 

I am starting this thread early this year to cover those getting on the Coral Princess in Auckland on 31st May 2023 and on in Sydney on the 4th June 2023.

3.5 months on Coral sounds divine. Enjoy your lap, I will be keenly following your adventures.

[Ozwoody]

You beat me to it Stu, was planning a similar post, but in a few more days.

We were on the 2018 WC too, and what ripper it was, may the 2023WC be as wonderful.

We too will be following your travels.

 

Those doing blogs, it would be nice if you could post their details so we can follow them.

 

Special Bon Voyage to Brisbaneites: Brizzym-David & Lyn, CassCruise-Jane, and Murrina-Murray & Sabina from the 2018WC.

 

Have a great time everyone.

If I don't beat you to it 🤣

 

I'll probably do one of my Live(ish) threads for that cruise anyway.

[sewgood]

To this years WC's have a wonderful journey and may you return having had exciting experiences, hopefully a few news ports for everyone, a couple of trivia wins 😁 and some fantastic tours and on most nights great entertainment however you prefer to spend your nights.

 

We back home in the cold of winter will be thinking of you enjoying warmer climates and trying to follow what's happening on the ship as much as we can.

 

Drop in now and then when you have time and let us know how it is all going. We'll love to hear from you.

It will be wonderful following world cruise blogs once more.  I wish all passengers a healthy joyful voyage.

 (I continually follow one blog from Sitka Alaska, whose world cruise was stopped in Fremantle, at the beginning of the pandemic.  Sadly he was  removed from a current world cruise, because he was critically ill.  He is now safely home in Sitka, Alaska.)

The 2024 Sydney departure is 30th April - very early for a world cruise.

 

We doing some cruising in Japan and SE Asia from end October but that feels like a long way away. We were so spoilt last year with all the Princess restart cruises operating through winter. 

[NSWP]

Sounds like we who are stuck on land for various reasons will have some great blogs to read re the 2023 WC. I appreciate your efforts anyway as I am sure many others will do.
