BTW, there was good free WIFI included at Channers (the island has bad internet close to 2G and not cheap.

The free wifi would be good. I agree the internet is not good on the island, using a hotspot, but I have read recently  that's all changing from Jan I think it said.

I can recommend Channers on Norfolk, wonderful hosts, great location,  excellent accommodation (self serviced apartments) and comes with a car.

Yes thanks I took notice of that accommodation on your recommendation last time.  You can't beat personal recommendations, when you book direct like I do.

Totally correct Mic, drive a car that has reverse gear and can do a U turn at state borders.

The Ghan was turned around the other day refused entry to Darwin.

Singapore cruise society has quite a bit of information on the Quantum sailing.

It doesn’t like any worse than going to the local club.

 

You have to get a test before the cruise and wear on of these.

It looks like you can take the Center out and put on your lanyard.

I think it is your sea card ,room key and all that kind of thing.

 

Does carnival or princess have that kind of thing.Royal has had it for a couple of years now. The WOW band they call it.

 I just put it in my pocket, I hate wearing anything.

The buffet is still there,they just serve you.

 

 Masks only have to be used when moving around. I don’t think they will be compulsory for long.

The Princess one is fairly new and only on some of their ships. It is called a "Medallion".

I don’t know how the older ships will comply with the tracker rule.

The Genting ship had one which had property of Singapore government.A pretty big thing about the size of a small packet of cigarettes.

Sounds like the 'Medallion' on Princess. Most Princess ships are now Medallion class.
