Was it on this one - Ocean Victory Gut? The Antarctic expedition cruise season has just commenced.

It may, but as Geoff Arxcards said, even Elites were not given priority on 20 Oct. It appears some of the staff at OPT doors do not know the Princess boarding policies for the top echelon of Princess Captains Circle.

Thanks, just requested one from State Super.

I Always go to it, as you now complimentary for Elite pax. They had some decent Aussie wines there inc Tyrells and Grant Burge and a Wolf Blass from memory and a couple of others.

It would be the same bloke who sang a couple of songs at the Grapevine wine tasting in September. He was good and so was the wine 🍷 lol.

I applied for my Commonwealth Seniors Healthcare Card this morning, takes about 10 minutes on the Centrelink site. They want to know a bit and also require documentary evidence of income, so I scanned and uploaded the letter from State Super re super pension increase recently, due to CPI. If that is not good enough I will have to get onto State Super for something better to keep Centrelink happy.

No you are not the only one, lol...I don't have the smart phone, I used the online version and it would not take some of my details, so day of boarding Coral on 13 Sept, I was not in Green lane. I turned up at OPT @ 10.30am, they opened the priority lane at 10.45am, I went to a table with a lady, showed her my vacc certs, cruise booking confirmation and told her I had a neg rat. She gave me a card to get my medallion, got that at the checkin counter, they said I was first on the ship lol, went through security and was in my cabin at 11am. I was first in the Horizon Court Buffet @ 11.30am lol. A breeze. I only used the medallion to get on/off the ship, buy drinks, I just called a waiter over, no problem and to open cabin door. Best of luck with your embarkation.

Hope you have not caught the dreaded lurgy mate, fingers crossed for you.

Totally agree, been on her 3 times, Alaska, Panama Canal and in September locally. Thank goodness they did not butcher her for the sake of a few extra cabins like they did to her sister Island Princess. Been on her too post butchering, Universe Lounge gone, aft viewing areas gone, walk prom deck gone, tragic.

Had the CT scan, not an enclosed barrel but like a big ring with a big hole, not too bad. But they could not do the job properly, they would not/could not put the clarity dye in me because of my poor kidney condition of 27% efficiency. The kidneys have to be able to flush out the dye after CT, otherwise the dye will eventually poison/kill you . So did not get all the good images. Ah well will see what the doctors say in a week or two. I am not feeling real well. If I was given a free ticket on a cruise ship today I would turn it down, too crook.

CSHCC Threshold goes up tomorrow to 90K income for singles. He might apply for a card if income is ok. Good luck. He is going well 95 not out, I wish him well.

If you are Elite you can get priority check in early, otherwise I suppose you need to stick to your given time.

Brilliant review Geoff. It will certainly assist others in deciding whether or not Majestic Princess is for them. From your comments I would rate your experience as a 7/10. I have been on Royal Princess in UK so I can relate to some of your comments. Again, well compiled Mate.👏

At the moment there is ship is at tier 3. But as for November 10, you will have to wait and see. But you are sensible wearing masks. 😷 Enjoy your cruise.

Yes Cunard and P&O UK, been on both. They are trying to maintain tradition.

Thanks for that, don't worry, this little black duck will be on the puter Friday the 4th bashing out his application for the CSHCC. With the changes I am under the threshold. I was up early this morning had brekkie at 5am as I have a big CT Scan of upper body, all organs etc. Or is it Cat Scan? at 10am. 4 hr fast required. Been in those barrels before, not nice.

All the beautiful people in their finery at the big sporting carnival.

Should have known, I was stuck there for 3 days in Sept on Coral Princess.

Will be interesting what covid tier Westerdam is when she arrives here. Bearing in mind is she is coming loaded from USA.

Re formal wear on formal nights. As I have said before, Princess suggests tuxedos/dark suit, but if they are not going to enforce it, get rid of formal nights and the dress codes.

So if there are 300 in iso, the mdr has to give the other 1700 pax the option of dining. Sure some go to the HC. The 2 dining rooms on Coral, Bordeaux and Provence are not huge and only 1 is currently open.

Would have been safer to pay the $3 delivery and get the ham and pineapple 🍕 delivered to the cabin lol. Washed down with a $64 bottle of Willowglen plonk, lol.

But do they have Crownies for thee or just VB for the Bogans, lol.

20 yrs ago, Being curious I went along, think it was on Star Princess. Perhaps I should have stayed for the sessions Neil. It might have helped my health and wallet, lol.🍷🍺💵💰

Where are they berthed?
