Marylebone37 Posted March 4 #380 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Cruisin7, if you have a chance, would you please ask how many new guests will be joining in Singapore. We will be 2 of them, re-joining your wonderful adventure… after having a super time on the San Fran to Papeete segment. Your posts continue to be spectacular and much appreciated!

Hi Mary. I’m sorry we had a long day and I wasn’t able to get an answer. I will work on that tomorrow. Today we were in Townsville, a city on the coast of Queensland. We did a 4.5 hour excursion…Townsville and Billabong Sanctuary. It was the usual Hot & Humid! We saw many animals today. The highlight was probably the crocodiles. We were able to hold a three year-old male. Koala 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted March 6 Author #386 Share Posted March 6 Good Morning Cooktown! We arrived at 0625. This is a tender port with a 30-40 minute ride. At 0730 the Captain came overhead with an announcement. The winds will be too strong for tendering. They are expected to increase. We will leave and head for Darwin. Our 6th cancelled port. Today is Day 62. Goodbye Cooktown. See the flag…windy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted March 8 Author #389 Share Posted March 8 Hello from the Coral Sea! I must be hallucinating with the heat because these clouds look like icebergs! Yesterday at 6 pm Cameo Rascale performed. It’s a husband and wife circus variety act. They were incredible! It was standing room only! They received a huge standing ovation. They will be on one more time. Don’t miss them if you have the opportunity. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is Day 62. Goodbye Cooktown. See the flag…windy. You didn't miss anything in Cooktown. We stopped there on a Regent Voyager in late December a few years ago. Our tender ride was long and bumpy, and the excursion was pretty dull. We did a lot of sitting around waiting for the bus to leave, having seen everything there was to see in 10 or 15 minutes. The only good thing was that there were restrooms available at several of the stops, including the last one, before our long tender ride back to the ship.

Rare crusin7 Posted March 9 Author #393 Share Posted March 9 Hi @SWFLAOK. I was worried about the long tender ride. We were going to the Black Mountain National Park and the Lions Den.

Rare crusin7 Posted March 9 Author #394 Share Posted March 9 Chartreuse is changing their menu every few weeks. This is the second installment. Apps and Soups Entrees and Desserts erts Cherry Tomato Goat Cheese Tart This should also read Onion Tart. Definitely a keeper. Loved it! Crab Soup It was good. I probably would not reorder. Duck Very good. Coffee Creme Brûlée It was good. Old school vanilla is better. Good Morning Darwin! Last Australian port. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted March 10 Author #395 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Upon our arrival into Darwin the dock was not ready for us. They were having a problem with a Cushioning device. So we actually waited about 45 minutes to dock. We were about 1 hour late for our tour. It was very Hot! There are a lot of flies/ mosquitoes on the boat. I would not recommend this tour. We were on the boat about 45 minutes. We had to pick 2 plastic bags out of the water. So we only saw 3 crocodiles. Not worth the heat, insects and long drive for me. We went on the Jumping Crocodile Boat excursion. Our Guide holding a Crocodile Tooth IMG_6241.mov Edited March 10 by crusin7 Spelling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pappy1022 Posted March 10 #396 Share Posted March 10 Humans feeding animals in the wild is not my cup of tea. They become dependent on being fed vs naturally searching for their own food. And no, I am not a member of PETA. It just doesn’t feel like we are helping the animals. It’s just entertainment for us humans. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
