When my cruise on Queen Elizabeth was cancelled the day before sailing on March 15 2020 we had just arrived in Sydney by air. Cunard sent an email which said some one would contact us with hotel and new flights home. Never got the call. We had to arrange flights home and we sent Cunard an invoice for all out of pocket expenses for flights car travel for 600 kilometres car parking in Brisbane and meals for 24 hours before our flight to Brisbane. Cunard paid the lot as well as a full refund. It took 10 weeks to be paid. My advice to everyone is to claim for everything. It was Cunard’s mechanical fault and you should not be out of pocket

Just received email for cruises offering $1000 OBC per cabin. 9 nights South Pacific April ex Sydney $500 pp. so free cruise really. Inside cabin

Don’t laugh but I won a $500 jackpot at bingo this morning with 35.

Can you get someone else to go with you and do a name change?

I got off the Queen Mary 2 after 3 weeks and thought it a good idea to get the train home. Had to drag the 2 large suitcases and assorted bags up to Martin Place as the Quay station was closed. Never again.

You will drag your luggage around to the station, purchase tickets or use a credit card at turnstiles, then catch the train to Central ,get off , drag your luggage to the intercity platforms and wait for the train to Kiama. Check timetables as it could be a long day.

Beautiful desserts on Coral Princess

I am cruising 10 Nov on Coral Princess, RAT is self administered and results photographed with ID and date /time and has to be available for checkin if asked for. Unless you are on an enhanced cruise a supervised test is not required

In Australia, all you need is RAT completed within 24 hours of sailing. There is a chemist at Circular Quay that has the tests for purchase
