It's paid in full now (Viking requires way too early full payment)....but it does make it feel more real now. 😉 Viking a more solid company than awful American Queen Voyages...those creeps. 😠 So sorry about that loss. Hope you get some of your money back. Assuming you'll stop at Port Headland and/or Geraldton, mining towns. Not used to cruise ships but nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted March 10 #4408 Share Posted March 10 @ringers0815 Wow, but every one of your many, many pictures are so beautiful! I have to say,I had never heard of bluebottles, and had to google it to learn what they are. Nasty!!!! However, my day is not wasted, since I learned about the bluebottles! Thank you so much for sharing all of your awesome pictures with us! After you get off in Brisbane, do you plan on meeting up with the ship on any other parts of the World Cruise?🥰 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much nicer way to travel to Australia than flying. We are travelling in Australia until the end of April and then flying home as we did not find any cruises departing Australia that late (they all seem to leave in early April). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringers0815 Posted March 10 #4411 Share Posted March 10 Parade of flags this morning. 5 crew members from Canada, of course one had a hockey stick and they were introduced to the Hockey in Canada theme song. Lots of dancing. The next photos are the crew members from Indonesia. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Mississauga with my uncle for 6 months as a 19 year old in the late 80’s and loved it there. Thanks for all your photos on this thread, they’ve been amazing. Enjoy your trip around Australia - if your driving from Brisbane and can stop off in Noosa, I highly recommend it 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couple on the far left look like a couple who are doing a RTW blog . Nice to see John looking so well. I would be interested in how this very long voyage is affecting people health (or not). Everyone in the photos looks really well, congratulations to everyone. Sue Edited March 10 by sgmn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with OB. I really appreciate your taking the time to share here. If there is anyone on the ship (or boarding) and lurking on this thread, please step up. This is a friendly, encouraging thread, unlike some of the others here. 🙂 Thanks, @CSHS1979 for taking the time to share John’s pics here. Really appreciate it, and WOW on the bridge climb photos.

Wow! Good for you, great photo shots! I think I recognize Melissa and perhaps her husband behind her? Beautiful photos! We are doing several overnights early next year in Sydney, connected with Viking ....staying right there on the harbor. We are ready to try the climb as well. 🙂 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
