I have followed bloggers on world cruises for years. On current world cruise a guy from Alaska who blogs was taken off the ship in Mauritius. He takes great photos and writes an interesting non commercial blog. Feels like family.
Thanks good size for me. LI don’t mind the vintage but I mind leaks and blocked toilets. My first trip overseas was Queen Frederica over.and P&O Chusan back I don’t recall their age being a problem. Both were world tours.
Both were four bunks with strangers. Both had big bathrooms. Both Fabulous cruises set the benchmark for all future cruises.
Disappointing. I’m doing more land travel. Just been to Canberra now going to Caloundra.
might do another land travel to NZ. The beauty of being retired if a small medium ship comes along I’m ready at short notice
Yes I always have a new bottle of water getting cold whilst I’m drinking the other.
I have always taken ginger cordial with no trouble. This time on Luminosa it was
confiscated. Got it back before Willis Is (stops
sea sickness). But didn’t have to open it!
I wondered if the ships were causing damage to the shoreline. Main Beach GC looses its
beaches following high seas. I have even seen Narrowneck break through by rough seas.
I don’t think the big ships suit our smaller ports nor the South Pacific islands.
Please send us your old well maintained small ships to explore our region.’
A holiday in Singapore prior to cruise is what makes it attractive to me. It is too long !! Others could have a holiday in Brisbane or the SEQld region at the end of the cruise.
