Chiliburn Posted November 7, 2023 #1313 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Apparently ship emission reductions becomes mandatory in March next year . From what I understand they have only been voluntary. I found a good video from Royal Caribbean on how they are going to reduce emissions. Also here’s a picture of the electric plugs the use to plug into shore power pretty awesome. .

Did you get the invite to the Opera House function, we didn’t go as not a great deal of notice?

Thanks Cheryle Brilliance is great Cheryl starting to show it’s age in places but a relief from Quantum class. Concierge is Hayley she checks everyone coming in and writes their name in a ledger for some reason. But she is very nice. No invite to the Opera house,what was it ? I’m probably not that important.

The Opera House was a function for Diamond + Pinnacle and World Cruises 10/11. Drinks, nibbles and a concert. Very nice, but we didn’t go. Totally agree, no more Quantum Class for us. Is the Diamond Lounge now the Crown Lounge? Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time to Kangaroo island and I was pretty unimpressed. It’s just any rural Australian town by the sea . Every thing was boarded up and closed. I went there Glen ,so I could tell not to bother . Adelaide was way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the bad bush fires, we used to stay there annually in accommodation on both ends of the island (Penneshaw, on north east coast of Dudley Peninsula, near the ferry terminal, and at Flinders Chase National Park at the opposite end of the island). Whilst at Penneshaw we would tour the beautiful Dudley Peninsula - beaches, parks, winery, cafe with spectacular views, lighthouse. It has it all for day trippers without the long boring distances. The tourist information at Penneshaw sells local products, which saves you driving to all the individual places throughout the island. If you have a week or two for a holiday, there are other beautiful places to stay, which we do on day tours from our accommodation. Do you know why everything was boarded up and closed? Maybe they are still being effected by the bushfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the lack of work but lack of services and the the cost. It is nice but just another rural area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
