    Broome - There is always the camel rides on the beach. Not sure if this has been covered in this thread. For me it was firmly in the "who knew" camp. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20180410-the-strange-story-of-australias-wild-camel

    @calm down dear. Excellent analysis, I concur. I especially dislike the Atlantide venue due to the low ceilings, dark and cramped feel. The packed bus tours also turn me off. For traditional Ocean voyages I have found that the pricing between SS & SB is dramatically different, in some cases 30-50%. Expedition voyages are a completely different story for another time.

    That looks like an interesting one!

    There was a gentleman who had a Penguin onesie on our trip.

    The Azipods are crazy cool. I thought our Captian was going to try a wheelie. 😀

    You need to ask Seabourn. They will probably throw you on a bus and trot you around town if you're lucky. That is the least of your problems if you are arriving the day of your cruise.

    Looking good JP. Thanks for taking us along!

    So sorry you will miss Scorsby. Even in August there were issues. Although our trip on Venture made it through, SS Cloud which was there right before us had to turn around.

    What an interesting day, thanks for sharing. I also enjoy going I to grocery stores and supermarkets. Fun to see what's available and the prices.

    Gee, I'd like to see the policies they refrence!

    Thanks for taking the time to write a very helpful review.

    JP- Fascinating journey. Really enjoying the report, thanks. Will be following in your footsteps, albeit a tad slower and perhaps not up to 16,000 feet. 😃

    We did get a credit. After receiving emails about using Blacklane we decided to give it a go and paid the credit back. Then we found out Blacklane would not service us. Silversea would only refund 75%. Just crazy.

    And can be formal wear. Did a bunch of biz there. Very interesting!

    Nooooooo! So sorry about the cancel. Just means the Antarctic continent is in your future.

    I was trying to draw a parallel between Hawaiian Shirts and Bermuda shorts and fear the joke may have been lost.😃

    Can't wait for that report, as I bet you can't wait for the trip. 😃

    Just take them off and pop them in a backpack when shoreside. I can't imagine not wearing them on a trip like this.

    You are so very kind! Looking forward to your reporting and hope your weather improves. I see you're going to Ittiqquormitt. Is Scorsby on the agenda? Those must have been some very stressful times getting to the ship. Yikes. Agree on Colonnade, thought it was a bit of a design miss. Lunch was always a scrum. Surprisingly we often found it empty for dinner.

    Did he ever work in Bermuda? 😁

    Oh Fabulous. Wanted to do the Ghan, but time got in the way. Would love a report if you have time.
  23. highplanesdrifters
    🤣🤣🤣

    Exactly how does one wrap oneself in cotton balls?

    Also desert SW. We flew from Broome to Melbourne. Spent a few days, Fab city. Then MEL SFO ABQ on United. Lots of flights from Broome to Perth which makes the Singapore option attractive. It's was also the cheapest but we wanted to visit friends in Melbourne.
