Passengers will need to test negative for Sydney as well

Glad to read they are all on the mend.

Birdsville is a long way from everywhere and the races were postponed from when they were going to have them due to flooding so perhaps the crowd would have been even bigger.

Yep, a kooky record and as a friend said, their criteria for dancing is very loose.

But people are still dying and the cruise industry will be blamed if they can link it to a cruise.

I don't know how this will go but Princess and the government need to sort this out before people start dying or the cruise industry here is dead.

I haven't done the whole trip and have only been on the Majestic so far, my Coral cruise is in September, but IMHO I would think March a nicer time of year on average for both the north and the south.

We have cruised NCL numerous times and have another 4 booked, I agree about the style being more like Royal than others but I think that some of the entertainment is much better. We have seen several music stage shows on board, one was Prisilla Queen of the desert. Freestyle dining is great but if you prefer traditional than just book the same time in the same restaurant each night. I am sure you will love it if you decide to book. Cheers

Deep, deep clean needed

It might not like the links.

Goodness, there seems to be a serious lack of customer service lately.

Sometimes the system glitches.

Goodness Les, take it easy, get well.

Most cruise ships have a top speed of 23 knots but they tend to cruise between 14-17 knots. QM2 has a top speed of 34 knots and when we were on her (Fremantle to Capetown) it was generally around 25 knots and very comfortable.

Their afternoon teas are great.

While most of what you said is correct , the QM 2 has a totally different hull structure to cruise ships and their cruising speed and comfortability reflect this.

Cruisers drinks have been cancelled now as a few people thought it too much risk with so much Covid about.

Cunard's QM2 is the only cruise liner left in operation as far as I know.

Bad report, the Ovation is not a liner.

Full time-- Swans win, 17.18 (120) to the Bulldogs 9.13 (67). Some very inaccurate kicking again, fortunately it didn't hurt them this week.

Have a great time, make sure you get to the distillery as well.
