We're sailing on this ship next year. Do they have self-service laundries?

No self service laundries on the Oosterdam.

Watched the Oosterdam sail into Circular Quay Sydney this Morning from our room in The Four Seasons. Will Embark today at 1PM.

Walked over to the dock this morning and they were busy washing the verandahs and re-stocking the ship.

Happy to read Oosterdam has arrived safely in Sydney. :)

Have a wonderful cruise, Senorjim.

When we finished our cruise in Sydney a couple years ago, we were having cocktails in the harbor watching our ship with new passengers leave port. It was a very odd feeling seeing the ship sail without us.

I hate that feeling of watching "your" ship sailing away without you. How dare someone else be in "our" cabin......Had to deal with that recently in Venice......:mad:

Welcome señor Jim. It is nice to have another voice on the thread. We just had our second M & G. I am sorry if I missed you if you were there.

 

Cruise continues to be great. Both spouse and I think the seas have been calm. Disclaimer is we enjoy a little movement from time to time to remind us we are on a ship.

Someone else asked a question about the temp on the ship. It is comfortable but best to have a light sweater along. They are keeping it warmer since we have left the warm tropical passage behind.

 

This has got to be the friendliest crew I have ever experienced.

 

Time for the thermal suite which is our favorite indulgence.

Ships staff has been really incredible - especially with our 5 and 8 year old kids! Orgiami animals, hi's everywhere.... Food is great too! Entertainment wasn't so good in our opinion with too many instrumentalist only acts versus a mix of comedians, magicans, signers etc.... But a small nit pick - great cruise so far!

Good to hear your positive feedback on the ship and crew. Recent reviews from the last cruise in Alaska were not favorable at all. However, I wonder if those reviews were negatively colored due to rough waters.

Welcome to Melbourne - the ship just sailed past our home. Unfortunately, the weather is a little chilly. Only 12 deg F at the moment with a forecast high of 17deg F - hopefully the sun will come out later.

Enjoy your time in Melbourne.

Won a trip to Melbourne for a week - absolutely loved it. Such a great walking town, fabulous food, and great museums!
