What a great clip Gail! There were so many fish!!!!! It looks like a wonderful experience!

Hi guys! I've added a vid of the Dawn Princess in Brisbane on Tuesday.

I can't wait to get on her in January now after seeing her up close!!!

Thanks for the replies guys! I also find that fried food and dairy give me a lot of trouble. I can't say that i've noticed salad causes it, but come to think of it I had a really BIG salad sandwich on Tuesday this week and all afternoon and most of Wednesday I had a terrible stomach ache. I think what i'm going to do is start a food diary and write down everything I eat and how it affects me. Might also look for IBS support medication. It may come in handy on my next cruise given the amount of rich food i'm likely to be served!

Hi Everyone!

Well it turns out that the reason behind a lot of my bloating and other varying stomach related issues is that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

It explains A LOT for me and the problems that i've suffered for years!

Just wondering does anyone else here have IBS, and if so how do you cope with it?

More importantly, what types of foods do you avoid? I'm still learning, but have found out the hard way several times, that dairy foods and deep fried foods cause me a lot of problems :(

I'd be really keen to find out how other people with this problem deal with it.

Hi guys! It's been a while since i've done one of my little clips, but I thought it would be nice to do one of my memories of the Pacific Sun, the way she was pre-paint job :) I hope you enjoy it. I enjoyed making it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMrZlrD_muo

Thanks Jo,

Do you recall chatting on MSN about my pre-selected background song last October? Seems that it fits better than I hoped back then! ;)

I do remember that chat :) I still have that song plus the other one you emailed me that day on a disc in the car LOL! Every now and then I pull it out and drive down the street listening to Denim & Lace and I think of you hahaha! :D

She has now finished cruising from our shores, and is headed for Singapore on her way to Pulmantur in Europe.

 

Her final 9 days farewelling Australian ports.

 

I can't believe I never noticed this clip til just now!

Well done Geoff!! It was fantastic.

Really loved seeing THREE ships all berthed in Cairns at once. Amazing they can fit them all in there but they can't in Brisbane :confused: :(

Hi everyone!

I've finally added the first of my videos to my review website. Better late than never hey?

If anyone wants to watch our sail away clip it's on the Videos Page here....

There's plenty more to come - i've just got to get them off the camera, edited and onto the site ;) :)

Hi guys!

Here's the little clip I did of Teegiee, Pink Poodle & family's sailaway.

You can tell which ones are them - they had a CC sign :D:D

Here's the link

I also tried to catch them and thier sign on the cruise cam but for whatever reason it just didn't catch them :(

Great video Kirsten :D Looks like I was having fun on the swings LOL!

One more video for the Sun Princess files.

Here she is at sailaway from Portside on 9th November. With Gooch onboard (somewhere) :D

Sun Princess Sailaway

Great couple of videos Geoff! Thanks :D

Today Star have released the following short sector options for sale till sold out, so anyone in Australia who wants to do a short sample cruise on a sensational boat then any of these are the go :

 

1. 2 nights Sydney - Brisbane one way departing 09/12/07

I found out about this one yesterday and dearly want to do it but my hubby is saying no :( What a wonderful opportunity it would be to 'sample' such a wonderful ship. I even have leave approved already for that time so it would be perfect! Darn men!! I'll keep working on him though ;) Might have to go alone :p

Hi guys,

I've finally uploaded my little Sun Princess clip to youtube for those wanting a look :D

Sun Princes At Portside

Great clip Neil :D:D Thanks for sharing :D

NEVER NEVER take your vomiting child to lunch with a plastic bag, I have seen this happen a couple of times and was thoroughly turned off my lunch by the sight. I sympathise but the restaurants are not the place for vomiting youngsters. :mad: Sorry just realised more a gripe than a tip - Oh well!!:o

triple eeeeewwww!!!

Errrrrggghhh! I second that!! Insert sickly green face here LOL!

By the way, my streamers got confiscated soon after (He He He) !!! :eek:

Hahahahaha!! :D :D That's too funny!! :D:D

I've added last Saturday's sailaway video to youtube for those wanting a peek. I've focused on Vicky (Staceymrow) and her family throwing their streamers (naughy naughty lol). Hopefully they're all having a wonderful time!

Here's the link

I'm looking forward to the 'cruise ship smell' :D I don't know what it is, but there's always a certain scent on board that just says 'cruising' to me.

I went into a public toilet yesterday and instantly thought to myself, it smells like a cruise ship in here LOL! Maybe it's the cleaning agent they use??

Thanks for the clip Skyrules :D Loved the song :D What is it?

What a great clip!! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm so jealous of you out on the harbour, cruising past the Regal!!! Looks like you had a great day out! :D

I suffer from it terribly.

I've put it down to the fact that all the food is so rich and heavy.

Once I couldn't get my hands on anything to 'help' so I ended up getting a bag of sugar free sweets from the gift shop and ate the lot ;) That usually has the same effect as a laxitive :p

I've recently discovered a 'slimmers' tea in the asian supermarkets called "3 Ballerina Tea". It's a green tea and within about 8 hours of drinking it, everything moves along quite nicely from then on ;) :D

No doubt about you Neil, you just keep out-doing yourself :D

Thanks so much for that video! What a busy harbour!!

It was so surprising to see the other 3 cruiseliners sitting there when she pulled in! The most we ever see is 1 cruise ship and a few container ships LOL!

Jo,

Will your DH need to pack his Batman outfit too?

 

Geoff

Yes, but only for formal nights :D

Looks like this is catching on. A larger version of this pic was on cc homepage this morning

 

 

Looks very inviting

 

Cheers

Geoff

I saw that too and thought of Robert straight away LOL!!

That mat also looks a LOT like those infamous 'egg carton' thingys!! My MIL takes them camping with her :cool: :rolleyes:
