What a stuff up, tell the Manager to cancel the officers tables for tomorrow night and put you in as booked. Always a few officers lurking in the speshul restaurants. Good luck with it. Eden Ahoy !,,

Where is aussielozzie today?

Jacinta A. Will be monitoring closely.

I hope so too. Fingers crossed.

Nice and sunny now, but a little windy, just put the washing on ye olde Hills Hoist, lol.

I had a pool in my Sydney house, but not down here in Batemans Bay. Like 6C this morning. The only time I go into the ocean down here is Feb or March, too cold otherwise. Yes pools not used are a pain in the butt to maintain.

Would be rolled into the price for sure. I thought the prices were average for run of the mill cruise lines. What you would pay in a decent restaurant...eg $8 or $9 a beer, $10 to $12 a glass of vino.

That is what we need, solo deals, under $300 a day.

Maybe Majestic has not yet reported the numbers to the appropriate authorities, apart from Tahiti. Let us live in hope.

Thanks Geoff, you are only about 130km from Eden, looks like you will have the night there. Surely the Captain is not going to circle outside Eden all night. You might get the official notification at the midday report from the bridge.

And you are in my prayers.

Too far out to sea to observe, 30 km. Conditions have eased a fair bit.

Great report there Geoff. The weather is getting better. Shame on those pax not wearing masks. Staff don't want confrontation thus no enforcement. I heard on the grapevine you are getting into Eden at 7pm this evening, not 7am tomorrow? Right or wrong? Sunday night in Eden would be a hoot, the only place open would be the Australia Hotel, lol. Enjoy the day and Sabatinis, plenty Spaget. Below is bridgecam just now.

Update on Majestic Princess, gleaned from the roll call on CC. She is now 3 days in Papeete, due to high winds and seas. Eventually pax who tested negative were allowed off in Papeete but 120 who tested positive were not. Some local tour operators are not happy according to reports. So some issues happening. Crikey I hope things settle down before they get into NZ/Aust waters. Our Stu (Kiwi_cruiser) who is on board might enlighten us further.

They go north first on Tuesday 11 October, bit dodgy down south at the moment. I just did a synopsis.

OK guys, very early report on Coral Princess, sourced from the various ship trackers. She is currently about 30 km off the NSW Far South Coast, passing Ulladulla. Been a bumpy night for those on board I believe, they are in a Force 8 gale from the south and travelling slow, like 9 knots. Looks like the sea state is around 4 metres. Still raining down here. Sun loungers, deckchairs should be in ample supply today on Coral Princess. To those on board, enjoy the day.🤢🍸

Surely you are cruising with your husband? I am watching harbour cam, you are sailing, lol.

Great and comprehensive reporting. Welcome to Princess and I trust you come back new on Tuesday. Bon Voyage.

When we did QM2, Sydney to HK in 2017. Most of ship's pax were Brits doing the worldie. So it was late Feb when we arrived in Brisbane and Airlie Beach, most Brits never got out of the a/c on the ship. It was really hot and humid. The tenders from the ship to Airlie were near empty due to the heat. I will be up at my sister's place at Currumbin for a week at Christmas, thank god she has a/c, lol. My eldest grandaughter is a Vet in Townsville, even though she went to JCU in Townsvegas for 5 years, she still has trouble coping with the heat, handling the big animals outside in that heat and humidity is hard work.

I just had my first solo cruise, ok but not great and expensive for 1.

Agree, stinking hot, unbearable humidity.

How did check in/embarkation go today on Coral? Were there big lines like on Carnival Splendour last week?

Down here at Batemans Bay, I was in Woolworths yesterday, probably a couple of hundred people in store, spotted 3 with masks. No masked up staff, not even in Deli. If we don't tighten up we will be like UK, big rise in cases, up 20%.

Reasonable prices, but you have to get to Brisvegas.

Did you give your new Harris Farm a hit Julie?
