Some strong winds on Far South Coast, might be a rocky ride back to Steak and Kidney, tonight.

Love a bit of rock n roll!

Barely a wobble so far. Not sure of the current speed, but it feels like we are making-up a bit of lost time.

I will make sure to send a toast to the Shady Oaks on the way past. Are you still home Leas, or have you moved in already?

[arxcards]

Back in Sydney again. I could have used another day.

It was a nice sail in this morning 
 

 

 

 

 

Quick & easy self disembark.  Already back at work.  Ready to plan the next cruise to Eden…

We are just leaving Central on the train home after a relaxed breakfast and final pack. We had a great few days, have booked another on Diamond and are looking at finding another shortie. I think that could be our last Majestic cruise though.

 

Our first Princess suite in a long time, so plenty of surprises in the Concierge Lounge. Surprise is the operative word, so we didn't get the max benefit. No trip review coming up, but I will put together a bit of info on the suite life.

I was following that horse with jockey in yellow from the beginning.  A Freedman horse.  Replay should be good!

Better if you had money on it, 

I said it will win and it still had 60m to go.

I never bet, but the thrill is picking a winner.

And for those wondering, it was obvious soon after boarding, that Majestic arrived in a much healthier state than last season.

Masks were worn by a small % of passengers, and I applaud those taking extra precaution if they need to. Very little coughing/wheezing/sneezing/sniffling was apparent. Much like olden times.

Random question.  Can the sensor lights in the cabin be turned off?  

[aussielozzie18]

Where  can I leave a review of the Princess Shore tour that I did in Eden? -  Light to Light Walk.

I have filled out the post survey review that was emailed out &  the tour company is not listed on the Princess blurb so no use putting a review on Trip Advisor.  
 

I would like to leave a review for future Princess cruisers who are considering booking this tour.  
 

thanks

We place one of those cushions in front of them and that usually does the trick. That is till Barb opens the bathroom door and turns the light on.

I thought it would be possible to leave a review at Princess Cruises - Excursion - Light to Light Walk 

but there is no link there. maybe Princess chat can help?

 

I am not getting email from Princess it seems, as no review link for us. I did do an unsubscribe from P&O when their PVPs started emailing direct, apparently oblivious to us booking through an agent. I am thinking the unsubscribe might have also work on the shared brands working out of North Sydney.

Ok.  Noted.  The sensor  light In wardrobe “room” next to the bathroom is the one that keeps me awake - I am used to going to the bathroom in the middle of the night in darkness, so I can fall straight back to sleep but that sensor light is so bright - I end up being wide wake.  I guess that one is needed for access to the life jackets?

Yes. 

 We just got WiFi for 24 hours, so just reading this now.

 Ask your cabin steward to organise for the sensor to be taped over.  It won't come on during the night, but when you turn the switch on it'll come on for 30 seconds or so before going off.

Read my reply re taping it over

[aussielozzie18]

Another random question - dancing fountains?  Did we have them on our short cruise and if so. - what time would they have been on?  Watched a couple of after dinner movies and never noticed anything special happening in the main pool…
