Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Imho, you could do worse ... gotta love that créme brulée!
  2. Oh no! Best wishes for his rapid recovery.
  3. Thank you so much to both SindbadThePorter and yarramar for all of these really useful information. And even a map! Wow! Adding Stanwell Tops and avocado toast at the Imperial Hotel to our itinerary and we will see how much time we have to range further afield. have googled all the points you both have suggested and the scenery is stunning. So much to see! Wishing I had 2 extra days now! Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my query.
  4. We find ourselves with an unexpected extra day in Sydney and are thinking of renting a car for the day and driving south to the Sea Cliff Bridge and then perhaps stop in Royal National Park. DD likes ocean views and cliffs. Wondering if anyone has suggestions for other stops along this area -- scenic stops, good wildlife viewing areas, cute places for a lunch stop, or anything weird and wonderful in a uniquely Australian way (I remember the giant earthworm museum near Melbourne, for example). Thanks for any and all ideas.
  5. Echoing this sentiment and following along!
  6. Thanks for the additional info, Yarramar. 🙂
  7. Thanks for this information and for the efforts that you make to answer so many questions in this forum. Much appreciated.
  8. This is a ridiculous question, I know, but I am wondering what kind of shop I should visit in Auckland and Brisbane to buy some distilled water for my CPAP machine. I have not travelled with the machine before, and I am staying before and after my cruise for a few days in these cities. I thought perhaps chemist's but when I tried online shopping at chemist's sites, I did not see this product listed. So, not sure what to do and would like to avoid spending hours wandering around looking for this. If it makes a difference, we are staying near Sky Tower in Auckland and near the Parliament Buildings in Brisbane. I am also wondering if anyone has had success asking hotels to obtain this and adding it to one's room charges. Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction here.
  9. Thanks very much everyone for all this useful information. Much appreciated.
  10. When I click to book the cabana, the reservation screen includes the wording "Additional items such as beverages, menu supplements, food and wine pairings and gratuities are not included." I, too, have seen reviews mentioning a lunch menu and beverages. I just figured that Celebrity was no longer including anything because I did not see a list of what is included with the cabana. I was figuring that the fee was just for the use of the space. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction; I am totally confused with this now.
  11. I have tried to locate this information on the boards but I failed - the search function is not very user-friendly. We are considering booking a cabana on the Edge during a New Zealand-Australia itinerary. First time booking a cabana. I understand that the cabanas no longer include any food or beverage items. If we order drinks, they will have a gratuity added to the bill. So I am wondering what the 20% gratuity added to the cabana daily fee is for? I am not a person who would ever try to wriggle out of paying gratuities, but I am confused by this. What kind of service is actually provided to cabana renters? Also, just wondering if anyone who has booked a cabana can advise if those couches are actually comfortable if we were to be, say, playing board games using the coffee table. Thanks for sharing any insight.
  12. I will just provide a suggestion for Kotor, since this excursion was a highligh of our Adriatic tour. We booked directly with Kotor Speedboat Tours. Visited amazing caves, saw lots of beautiful scenery, went past an WWII era fortress. And the boat took us into a camouflaged Soviet-era submarine hangar -- something like a cave. We also stopped for a walk at the town of Perast -- very pretty -- and at the tiny island with the church of Our Lady of the Rocks. I really recommend this tour. When you get off the tender ito town, the speedboat will leave from very close by the tender dock. https://www.kotorboat-tours.com/index.php/en/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4ZeaosSY_wIVhRd9Ch0gcwQ_EAAYBCAAEgL-4fD_BwE
