A reasonable time to book a flight out of Brisbane?
vozzie replied to Chiliburn's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
We're also on that cruise and we'll plan for 1pm-ish flight back to Perth. -
Thank you.

Booking Singapore Accommodation
vozzie replied to JohnGc's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
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. -
Deck chairs stacked up or not...if I wanted to get over the railing I would find a way !

Accomodation Pre Cruise from Sydney??
vozzie replied to portcbob's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
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.

Luminosa - The Good and Not So Good
vozzie replied to Tripmode33's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
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. -
Quantum/Ovation/Luminosa quiet on Covid reports
vozzie replied to JohnGc's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
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...... -

vozzie replied to resordanis's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Just received an email from Carnival re 21Nov cruise....and RAT Tests are still required 24hrs beforehand. -
RAT testing before boarding
vozzie replied to resordanis's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
So, how are they verifying RAT tests in the terminal? -
RAT testing before boarding
vozzie replied to resordanis's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I don't know what it means, but the requirement to do a Rat test has been removed from my VeriFly app for a November 21 cruise....and I now have green ticks. -
Dunedin/Port chalmers ideas
vozzie replied to Sallyandtex's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
We've been a few times also, but we actually found a great little cafe at Port Chalmers itself...where you can get a good feed and live music, at times. Just something cheap and cheerful to consider...followed by a stroll around town and up to the small lookout. -
Australian Visa for US Passport holder
vozzie replied to timbom's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Sometimes, the full story is not detailed on these sites. As someone mentioned...if you fill out the form correctly and your details are all in line with the requirements, you normally get an ETA (both Australian and USA ones) almost instantaneously. If your details are not within the parametres....there will be extra tasks to complete....e.g. if passport or a supporting document in maiden, or different name. The over-riding advice is....get in early! -
Cruise industry under Investigation
vozzie replied to gbenjo's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
If it keeps more un-informed people away from cruising...then I'm all for it. More availability for me ! -
Warning if your about to cruise on Coral.
vozzie replied to portcbob's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Perhaps the horse's mouth may be more accurate. Some passengers currently on the Coral Princess wrote this to the Press: "I am dissapointed at the misinformation being circulated in the media. Passengers WERE advised prior to boarding that some crew had Covid and were isolated and were offered credits. Everyone is vaccinated, wear masks, and are required to wash hands regularly. I have not observed anyone coughing. I feel that my risk of getting Covid here is probably lower than my local shopping centre. We are enjoying the cruise, circumstances have necessitated some changes to the way things are organised on board but still an enjoyable and relaxing experience. We are in Eden today and everyone going ashore must show a negative RAT which was given to us last night."- 792 replies

vozzie replied to portcbob's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Are you all aware that there's around 5000 new Covid cases in QLD a day? Where do you think they are coming from...corn flakes packets? No...they are coming from people going to work, going to the shops, flying on aircraft, catching a train, getting pissed at the pub or going to the footy. Is the media asking us not to frequent those places? How does a few managed cases on a cruise ship attract so much attention?- 792 replies
