On Diamond not live

[shredie]

Well, here I am in Auckland. I can see the ship from my hotel window. I will try to check in when I can to tell you stuff, but I'm not promising anything. Let's see how the Internet behaves on board.

 

That flight from LAX was brutal. But my luggage made it!

Bon Voyage!! Hope you didn't bring any food (EF) into the country. :eek:

I join the Diamond on the 23 March so am looking forward to anything you say about life on board the Diamond Princess. Thank you

The cute beagle at the airport would have stopped me. This cruise originated elsewhere and we are joining it mid cruise. Dumb me didn't find out where it came from. Anyone know?

Uh oh! We're flying from LAX to SYD next week. Hope it's not too brutal since we're in business class on Virgin Australia. Actually we are flying from Cincinnati prior to the LAX flight.

 

We'll be on the Diamond starting March 16. Can't wait.

Having flown all over the world I too find any flight down under from the US to be the most brutal of any worldwide.....though flying business class will soften it up! :D

This is a beautiful ship. Almost as lovely as Sapphire. [emoji1]. Teak loungers on promenade. Nice string trio in the atrium. MUTZ tonight is The Intern. Smoking restricted more on this ship than others. Salmon and tri tip on menu along with some CS concoctions. Looks like prime rib night for me. Took me awhile to get online. Had to stand in the hall. Stewart asked me what I was doing. LOL. More later.

Take lots of pictures and post when you can (even if it is when you are home) for those of us who will likely not ever make it on the Diamond (or the Sapphire for that matter) now that they are in the East. Thanks for the comments so far. :)

When you get the chance please tell us what Curtis Stone dishes they have in the MDR menu, interested to see if they are the same as in Nov.

When we were on Oct/Nov I walked past Kai Sushi many many times, not one person in there over 34 days, really can't understand why they didn't re purpose it while Diamond was DownUnder.

Bon voyage!

We did LAX to SYDin business class with Virgin Australia a couple of years ago, its not too bad at all, we slept most of the way after a lovely dinner and a couple of glasses of wine to help it go down.

 

Enjoy your trip.
