The ships should change to local time and every ship I’ve been on they always change the clocks

Carnival sell lanyards onboard about $7.50 each

No wrong ship, as Geoff said might be the Majestic Princess

I think the OP has the wrong ship because the Luminosa doesn’t go to Sydney

I reread your post and what is the cruise where the Luminosa picks up people first in Sydney and then in Brisbane

You may not be allowed to leave the ship once you go onboard so why not drop off your luggage any time after 8.30 if you want to explore the city and get on later at least 90 minutes before departure

Quantum of the Seas 12/4/23 to 28/4/23 17 nights from Brisbane to Hawaii Solo inside from $2133 Inside twin from $1399 outside twin from $1599 Balcony twin from $1799 Booking direct with RC noticed an online site had pretty much the same price

gratuities not included and they charge $457 each and the currency will be USD

Evon I’m doing a 7 night cruise from Brisbane soon and I’m in P2 and only being charged for 7days by the confirmation email doing another 5 night cruise later on and the email has 4 days 23 hours I’m being charged for and both cruises have the correct arrival and departure dates

Depends on the size of the suitcase, if it’s a small one and will fit thru the X-ray scanner like they have at the airports it should be ok but if it’s too big and won’t go the scanner you might have problems getting the case onboard

We stopped at Airlie beach and the first tender was about 7.30 but I found the system very good so if you were eager to go ashore early you could get your ticket at 6am and have a leisurely breakfast until they called your number

Did you happen to do any tender stops, I was amazed how they operate the tenders leaving the times in the lounge at 6am and you helped your self to what time you want to get the tender and you can do what you like until your tender gets called

Not a lot they can do but skip a couple of days, the passengers will be compensated for their trouble

Ok Les you take care

Hi Les I heard you were sick and hope your feeling better now

I was on the cruise too and I dodged a bullet I had a shared in the MDR for breakfast and dinner and did the comedy shows plus the shows in the theatre but I covered up most of the time but a lot of people didn’t , the ones that got covid I wonder if they did the right thing and covered up , I had a rat test and negative

I found the ship good too and I have 2 more booked on the Luminosa and I think the CD Simon did a very good job i found only about 50% of people masked up but I never heard of any covid onboard and I’ve been home 3 days and had a rat test a short time ago and negative

Disembarking was a breeze today at Brisbane, I was walking down the gangway about 7.55am and in my car at the car park driving out the gate at 8.05

They had the marriage show on the other night and the CD did a good job Simon London is a good CD

Yes I haven’t come across anything similar with the tenders our CD was good and he made one blue but most probably following orders we did a 4 day cruise to Airlie beach and he told everyone at the disembarkation meeting that everyone had to fill in an Incoming passenger card but we couldn’t duty free and never left Australia and no Border Force at Brisbane cruise terminal, people were given one to fill in but nothing left in my room so I didn’t have to

On my latest Luminosa cruise some passengers still wear shorts and thongs on elegant nights

I just came off the Luminosa today after 4 nights and I found the ship quite nice and not sure if it’s been mentioned but we had a day at Airlie beach the CD said they would put out times and tender tickets at 6am in the Ocean Plaza and you can pick a time from 7.30 until when ever they had the open tenders and once you had your tender ticket you could have breakfast and come back when it’s time to get your tender and they made announcements when the tenders were available, I found the system very good

Geoff OBC can be used in the casino as long as you play the pokies

As if you’d do that , they’d get the cops onto you as an illegal immigrant
