Rare Ozwoody Posted May 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) 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.

sewgood Posted May 26, 2023 #11 Share Posted May 26, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
