  1. Google "bounce luggage storage circular quay ". There is a branch at City Extra restaurant at Circular Quay. I believe you are supposed to pre book, but i have seen plenty of people just rock up and deposit luggage there. Open 24 hours. Opposite wharf 4. And 5 minutes walk along the waterfront from the cruise terminal
  2. You do know that they do not use bottled water to make ice, coffee, tea, buffet juices from the dispensers, ice tea, water poured from jugs at dinner......
  3. DW asked for a new car or some nice pearls for her birthday. I got pearls. You can't buy a fake car.
  4. Nah! But sounds like something the UK would have sent. The scary thing is that this singer/group out out at least 3 albums.
  5. Well, we did NZL in early January and managed to get into all ports, including the sounds in lovely sunshine. (Celebrity Eclipse)
  6. I am still looking for a GIFTED CHILDREN sign.
  7. What do you mean, ONE car. There were hundreds of them. 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
  8. You will be rostered to do the dishes, scrub the deck and vacuum the floors.
  9. Ok. Now REALLY for something completely different: We have a MG car and are arguing about the female voice of the GPS. DW is adamant it is Sandra Sully. Google does help. Any ideas??
  10. Of all the stops we had on our January NZL cruise, Wellington was the only one we didnt enjoy as much as the others.
  11. Never again Costa for us. OK, in all fairness it was CHEAP and a last-minute decision to cruise for a week or so from/to Singapore. Awful, just awful. Old ship, totally geared to Chinese. Only perhaps 200 non-Chinese passengers, and we were huddled together for comfort. 😂 Diabolical food, so much so that the waiter apologised when serving it, 'i am sorry, i have no idea what that is'. We contemplated jumping ship in Bali, where, coincidentally we arrived at 07.30 pm, instead of 09.00 am. And STILL, they conducted "sightseeing tours" of the rice terraces. In pitch darkness. No refunds for those poor souls who had purchased tours. Because we DID run the tours! Well, I'm sure the new mega ships they have are a lot better. 🙂
  12. You have to decide if you want a totally private tour, small group (max 15 people) or large coach tour. All options are available for both destinations. Both are LONG days, so perhaps don't do them back to back. Are we allowed to name specific operators?
  13. In January, only VERY few passengers wore masks. Some crew did.
  14. for some reason the names "Mikael Sholokov" and "Alexander Pushkin" ring a bell. DW recalls a cruise on AP with her aunt as a 13 or 14 y.o. and waitresses with green eve shadow and being served Grasshoppers wirhout any questions.
  15. The catch cry on Cunard is usually "Hip Hip, Replacement!!"
  16. Taxis take credit cards. And unless i am very much mistaken or you have an extremely weird CC, it is irrelevant which country it is from. As in most other places around the world, there is a small airport surcharge to pay. Sadly there seems to be a rise in the cases of taxi drivers trying to cheat passengers and inflate the prices. Tell the driver that you will need a receipt for the trip. Make a note of the taxi number and driver's name. *card displayed on the dash.
  17. On the bright side, as long as the rats are staying, it is unlikely that the ship is sinking.
  18. OP, what was the comment from management? Dont leave us hanging. 🙂
  19. I convinced my wife that those patches are a secret sign for the Swingers club...
