  1. Elites get complimentary medallion polishing, like the shoe shine, lol.
  2. Why would you leave the cabin steward a tip in addition to auto gratuity, if you suspect him/her of knocking off the mini bar and not making themselves known to you for some days. On Princess your steward comes and sees you in the first few hours after boarding.
  3. Turning to cricket, Aussies World Cup Champs, well done boys. The locals over on the sub continent are crying in their curry.πŸ›
  4. Love George Formby on the banjo… Im leaning on the lamp post etc. legend.
  5. Aussies, Kiwis and Brits lining up no doubt. Seen it myself on Cunard and P and O UK.
  6. And carrying a Crownie in each hand, lol. Mrs Walker will be pulling the bags, lol.
  7. Now I wonder if Princess is charging 18% gratuity on their $38 RATS? Would us elites get the usual 10% discount on the purchase ? lol.
  8. Agree, Marriot is good, views and convenient to OPT. View from my Marriott window, pre Coral Princess, Sept 2022. Pricey, but very good.
  9. One wonders if the noro and covid viruses on Grand Princess travelled across the Pacific from USA to OZ. What say ye?
  10. Get well soon Julie and Rolf. How does Regent ISO cabin service, i.e. food/drinks, compare with what you experienced on Princess?
  11. I feel the grey card is for suite pax only, priority tendering only. A poor bonus for suite pax IMO.
  12. One in Zetland is not too bad, but Pitt st, can be $300 a night. Exxy.
  13. Meriton are good but expensive in my opinion.
  14. Remembrance Day here Lyle. Coming from a military family and being an ex soldier myself, albeit in my youth, it means a lot to me. Lest we forget.
  15. The late 60’ s even, mic, started going to Matravile Rissole in 1966, schooner was 20 cents. A meat pie about the same. Yes, I had a misspent youth.🍺🍻
  16. The Bentleigh got me I know Rissole is the RSL club. So you had rissoles at the Rissole, Beatleman?
  17. I know Furphys is an ale, but Bentleigh Rissoles? Please explain, sound posh.
  18. Many thanks Geoff for finding this. Yes we boarded at LA. To Sydney. We sure got smashed with wild seas around the Bluff, bottom of NZ. Waves up to deck 10. Capt Froude got us back. Aaah, great memories, but scary.
