Must be strange to be aboard her for the staff...

 

Must be a wonderful, unique, experience for the staff. Imagine having time to get all those jobs done properly for which there was not enough time because of their workload.

 

And to have the ship to themselves!

I think some will really enjoy it, while most will be working as hard as ever.

I bet they. Will be found jobs, no down time like when cruisers go to shore & no tips so I come will be down for just as hard work. :(

Be interested to hear what they really think. Wonder how many cabins get "mysteriously" rumpled beds..... :eek::D

Just passing Merimbula, 14.5 knots...

We sail out of Sydney on the Dawn Princess tomorrow arvo. It would have been great to pass her in the harbour but does not sound likely :(

 

Dawn out of the harbor, 18.1 knots!! HAVE AN AWESOME CRUISE! :D

Sea Princess is now in drydock at the Naval yards at Garden Island

I think this is a view over to Elizabeth Bay?

I agree. Love to sail on her again! :)

So they have to get her up to Brisbane by the morning of the 29th, right?

Yes I believe so. As luck would have it, I have 2x separate sets of colleagues sailing on that NZ cruise!

:)

My mates are doing the NZ round trip. They haven't had any additional information ( compared to what I already know from you guys ;)) in relation to their departure date!

I'd be concerned. But ofcourse what are you gonna do, right! Hope for the best.

Fingers crossed. Really hope that this is the end of the problems and it quickly becomes a distant memory for all onboard for the next cruise and they have a blast!!

I hope the repairs are going well, she needs to leave on Saturday at noon. I would hate for the people up in Brisbane to be stuffed around.
