Read an article today from Cruise Weekly that said all Coral Princess cruises departing from Australia will be sailing at full capacity. I thought the first cruises in June were to be at reduced - even just 50%, capacity? Does anyone know the actual answer to this as I can find no reference about it on the Princess Australia Protocols? Or add it to Cbtours βto find outβ list?

Princess new 2022 Drink Menus
Porky55 replied to Ozwoody's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
We spent a week a few years ago self driving the Scottish Highlands and stayed at a B&B in Kingussie. One night the hosts made me a hot chocolate - it was pure chocolate (no powder) melted over the stove with cream then added to thin it to drinking consistency. It was the most amazing hot chocolate I have ever had ππ -

Iβm not sure that this is right π€ Complimentary usually means free?? If you are travelling with kids, this can be quite important to the overall budget, I would imagine. Cbtours has a list of things to check for lots of us, she is on the 16th departure, perhaps we can ask her to check? -
Very rare to get a cyclone up here after April, tho it has happened. From April to late Oct/Nov is the best time to cruise up this way. The humidity virtually disappears, nights usually lowest 12deg, days ranging from 24 to 28 - beautiful one day, perfect the next. We only have two seasons in Nth Qld - 6 mths of β bloody humidity & heatβ - 6 mths of βjust perfectβ. Jump aboard, grab some seasick meds for hubby, (start him before he boards) and enjoy your cruise π

I thought hot chocolate, like brewed coffee, is complimentary on Princess, anywhere you can buy coffee you can order a hot chocolate - free π From Princess: βSip your favorite espresso-based beverage or tea with the pre-purchase of a specified number of specialty coffees (numbers vary by itinerary) during the voyage of purchase, as well as complimentary brewed coffee and hot chocolate.β (this should apply to your kids too) Avoid that brewed coffee at all costs though π -
Not on a ship yet, but it does fit comfortably beside other normal Aussie plugs (using the Aus/Japan adaptor) and charged just fine. We always carry our Aus/Euro & Aus/US double adaptors just in case, and bring normal phone charger. So far these have worked on Princess, HAL, P&O Aus & RCI. We travel overseas regularly and have yet to have a problem with these. As to the new gadget - weβll see on the 26th. These Korjo ones:

Yep it sure is π But we are in a suite and since they put the flat screen tvs on the walls, there are PowerPoints behind where the tvs were, so can use it. (Either Euro or US - US just charges slower). We have a multitude of international adaptors and chargers - I just liked the simplicity of this one.
