Regards John It’s newer than radiance by a couple of years There’s something a little different can’t quite remember it was fitted with a LED lighting and from memory last dry dock was 2017 . I believe it may be going to Singapore after its Alaska season in 2021 like radiance is doing this season. oh this the information you were waiting for Woopi Goldberg is the godmother.

Regards John The gas turbines are very smooth and quiet. Radiance class is a friendly smaller ship.Theres a lower ratio of balcony cabins serenade has a tropical theme So we are booked in a grand suite to Tasmania on the 12 of December 2020.which was very good value.

Rare MicCanberra Posted April 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2019 It is a ship I would like to have a cruise on at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mr walker Posted April 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2019 We will board her in 536 days for he first cruise out of Sydney - music charter - Oct 5 2020. We expect she will be very similar to our favourite ship Radiance. It's a long wait, lucky we have some plans in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's right Mic - ports are Noumea. Isle of Pines & Lifou. Won't be our first visits there 🙂 Chiili, no headbanging for us! Cream of Australian country music - over 50 artists, with headliners including Lee Kernaghan, Troy Casser-Daley, Adam Harvey, Amber Lawrence. Will be our 3rd Cruisin' Country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted April 16, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Bring your Stetson or Akubra and your boots. There'll be line dancing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted April 16, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Over 50 artists. Sounds good but not much into country but have seen Adam Harvey quite a few times,my boss always has him at the Christmas party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know what you are missing 🙂 Contemporary Country Music would likely surprise you if you don't like the older styles. Harvey always seems to get corporate gigs & no relation to Peter or Gerry. He hails from country Victoria, nowhere near Canberaaaaaaaa. And yes Mic, there is line dancing & square dancing for the aficionados - not for us though. Even some bush poetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted April 17, 2019 #20 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I don't mind some of the contemporary country stuff, Luke Dickens is a friend's son that has done okay and I don't mind some of his work. He was a Toyota rising star a few years ago and came second on Pop idol a few years before that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find country a little depressing,songs about - Crops have failed Daddies in jail Pick up truck won’t start Dog dies Someone stole my cowboy boots Wifes a alcoholic and run off with big John stud down the road. Mr walker. you have 536 days till your cruise. You could grow your hair long ,stock up on Metallica T-shirts.A bit of body piercing,a few tattoos and one of those big BOOM BOXES. With a few dance parties on your balcony you would be the talk of the serenade of the seas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mr walker Posted April 18, 2019 #22 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Nah, like the ballads & some country rock ala Wolfe Brothers, McAllister Kemp, Travis Collins - no balcony dance parties. Anyway, we are looking forward to the cruise and trying out Serenade for the first time, albeit quite a while to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
