Thank you so much for the info. We will consider all these options.

Guys, in our package we are also doing 15 nights through the Canadian Rockies including Gold Leaf on the Rocky Mountaineer Train. Cheers Bob.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the positive remarks. We are thinking about the cruise in about Mid May, is that a good time. Travelling from Australia and just trying to get this trip all in order. Kind Regards Bob.

Hi Holland Cruisers. Is the Koningsdam a nice ship to cruise the inside passage to Alaska from Vancouver. Newbies researching for our big trip in May/June, 2024. Thank you.

We are doing the 28 nighter, Sydney to Sydney on the 7th March. I believe we can't get out boarding times till 45 days out from the cruise NOT 60.

Cheap Port charges I would suggest. Same reason nearly all cruises stop in Noumea.👍

We are presently on the Coral about 24 hrs out heading back to Brisbane. Weather partly cloudy with some sun. Wind and sea up a bit however not to bad. Not quite sure whether the captain has deployed the fins or not. Coral is performing well.👍

Great, we have 28 days of sailing around Aussie on the Majestic in March, 2023. 🥵

Hi fellow cruisers. March, 2023 doing the big lap around Aussie, Sydney to Sydney and looking for 1 night accomodation in Sydney with an easy walk or transfer to the Overseas Cruising Terminal near the Quay. Can anyone please recommend any hotel under $200 that has its own bathroom???. Kind Regards Bob 👍

Because Coral actually docks in Cairns Central, book a GBR trip from Cairns. Have done it twice its fabulous.👍

Slip out to Green Island for a few hours on the Ferry from Cairns Pier for a swim & snorkel.👍

Santorini & Venice.👍

Good thinking.👍

Hi. We live in Statice Ave, runs into the dog park. We are there every morning.👍

Hi guys. Do you guys live in Hollywell??

We recommend THE VIEW.. It is situated near the Harbour with Magnificent views. Northern side of the Harbour Bridge. Catch a train right there at North Sydney to the Quay. Breakfast superb and rates are very reasonable.

Hi Princess Cruisers. Doing a 7 nighter from Brisbane to the Barrier Reef in November. Jumped on the Medallion and booked the 2 speciality restaurants on the Coral. All went well with the bookings however they were charged to our credit card. As we have OBC were we going to use it for the diners. Does anyone know if this can be rectified please??.

Hi guys Not Princess, however doing a 12 nighter from Brissie in May, 2023 of 12 nights on the Pacific Encounter ( P & O ) to the islands including 2 Fiji ports. I agree Princess should put on some new itineraries perhaps fiji, cook islands ect. 👍

Hi fellow cruisers Can anyone please recommend a decent quality cheapish motel/hotel for 1 night pre cruise close to the new Brisbane Cruise Terminal.??? Regards Bob.

I think that hypothesis is spot on 👍

Hi guys If you had a chance to do the 28 night cruise circumnavigation around Australia would you do the:- October, 2022 cruise on coral OR March, 2023 cruise on the Majestic. Cheers.

I suspect quite a few Les

Sorry my mistake, have been moved from our aft Emerald balcony to BOW balcony up higher which we won't take due to motion. NO, it's not an upgrade and yes wectold our T/A 18 months back when we selected our cabin, under NO circumstances we wanted no where near the bow. Problem is this cruise has been booked out for months and nothing is available.🥵

Hi fellow Coral Cruisers. We are booked on the Coral Princess for a 28 nighter around Australia in October, 2022. We booked cabin E724, aft on Emerald deck 8. Yesterday I found out that our cabin had been moved by Princess without notice to a top floor cabin at the stern. This is unsuitable to us as the wife gets sea sick. I rang my T/A who had no knowledge of the change. Princess were contacted and the only cabin they could offer us was worse. The ship is full so this will be a deal breaker for us. PS. Anyone who has got Emerald deck aft cabins booked, check your booking because you won't be told. Apparently they are using these cabins for Covid. I know the cruise company can change your cabins but hey a bit of customer service would of been nice. Had this cabin booked for 18 months NOT IMPRESSED.

I'm with ya Les. I think the numbers should be made available.👍
