Porky55 Posted September 12, 2020 #760 Share Posted September 12, 2020 While the ships are in this area I was checking around and found this video on the new City of Cairo. Didn’t realise it was such a big project . When we were in Cairo in 2015 it was fascinating to see the apartment buildings being built in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere in anticipation of moving the city back then. We were told by the guides that it’s to aid in the preservation of the ancient relics, both standing - Pyramids, Sphinx etc - and those being found in recent archaeological digs.Though it looks more like it is for city congestion and growth from the video.

Ondine Posted September 13, 2020 #762 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I believe at the moment Regal Princess is on her way to Malta and Pacific Princess is on her way to Civitavecchia (Italy). Both left Cyprus several days ago. Probably something to do with taking crew home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted October 21, 2020 #765 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Thanks David, nice little video to watch to get one's cruise fix. Love the sound of the sea, lovely area, Poole/Swanage. A real tourist attraction, bet the ice cream vans are doing well. Edited October 21, 2020 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_cruiser Posted October 29, 2020 Author #768 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Sorry I have not posted an update for a while, the cruise ships in Singapore, Manila Bay, have not been up to too much, apart from going between Singapore and Manila Bay. The ships in Limassol, Cyprus have not been doing much. Will try and post a full update this weekend.

Needing a cruise fix, I've been watching the SBS shows on cruising in the afternoons (with English lady guide). I was impressed with the relaxing Armadeus ? cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia. Has anyone done that cruise? Sounds appealing with land travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpretentious, entertaining and always fun to watch. https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/cruising-with-jane-mcdonald?cx_cid=od:search:sem:convert:dynamic:v1:prog&gclid=CjwKCAjw0On8BRAgEiwAincsHGFY1ypck8HV2COYzWOg-IcdHNGKI9WeefbfBCUNCLuzt6JVWlNkMBoCEvUQAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted October 29, 2020 #773 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I like Jane, not sure I would want to be with her for more than a few hours and I know some people don't but I find the show entertaining at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could talk underwater. But she is entertainment, well she used to be a singer on the ships several years ago, she would have been a lively one in the crew bar.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your information Uniworld is offering river cruises in that region next year, no single supplement. I don't want to do too much flying, so am interested in something like that. Just reluctant to part with my money re travel in uncertain times. Edited October 29, 2020 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
