We're also on that cruise and we'll plan for 1pm-ish flight back to Perth.

Thank you.

Where is the "bus stop" located on Quantum of the Seas?

I have 2 recommendations. Budget: Keong Saik Hotel ( great location, continental breakfast included ) Money Bags: Paradox Singapore Merchant Court at Clarke Quay (great location, pricey, but nice full breakfast) And, yes, book as far in advance as possible. Preferably, with free cancellation.

Tendering at Norfolk Island

Deck chairs stacked up or not...if I wanted to get over the railing I would find a way !

150 cases on a ship...Ah, the end of the world is neigh! 40,000 overall cases in NSW...oh, hum! I wonder where the other 39,850 cases were caught? In a plane? lets stop flying...on a bus? ..we must stop buses.... and on it goes...

You all do realise...there were 40,000 new Covid cases in NSW this week? The ship figures pale into insignificance.

The Sydney Harbour Youth Hostel is basic but well located to the OPT. Around A$240 for a Double with Ensuite.

From memory, you can book shore excursions on your cabin TV.

I hope this is a joke.

I am never really swayed by someone's review of food on a ship. It is so very subjective. What some else likes, someone else hates. If I had listened to people's review of food, I would never have set foot on any of the dozens of ships we have.

Enforcement...not easy. However, airlines have been enforcing the rules for some time. I know its easier when all your customers are confined to a small area , for a small amount of time...but even so, all it takes is for the Law to recognise a lawful instruction from a Maritime Officer...as they do for Airline Crew. But then you have jurisdiction issues......

It's just a numbers game. As you read, the OP took extensive precautions...more than I plan to take...and he still got it. I don't think its about "being careful" or "being safe"...as we all do that. It's about being in or touching the wrong place at the wrong time. That's how infections work.

The more people that get scared away from cruising....the more room for me ! Bring it on !
