Cruisegroover

Well in line this morning my friends overheard a conversation from some people fretting about the fact they have to get off in Brisbane as they thought the ship was returning to Sydney. They had no idea the ship had commenced the repo to Alaska. So therefore they had made no arrangements to return to Sydney. They assumed very wrongly in was a round trip.

No Whiners I wondered where you were glad to see you are still following the Swans. As for the favourites one big betting agency here had Collingwood, Brisbane, Carlton and GWS as top 4 a couple of weeks ago and of course now Collingwood are out of the 4 and Sydney in. The AFL had Brisbane, GWS, Collingwood and Adelaide. I like taking screenshots at the beginning of the season and compare end of season.

Wow I got off the Edge on Thursday after 11 nights and a coke was $US5. Now it's $US6!

I sort of got an inside picture when I went to the art auction as they are held in that area.

So if miss out on getting dinner reservations where do you eat? And if you are last to board you may miss out on seeing the shows?

Hopefully we see some more posts. I am I interested in see your adventures in the Japanese ports. I have a question about how immigration formalities where handled at your first port in Japan.

Thanks I'm thinking of doing this next year. Look forward to your review

Agree as a solo traveller I'm off elsewhere. Have sent a message to Celebrity with no answer of course.

That is not good news re Covid. I have been enjoying your posts and was looking forward to your thoughts on Taipei. I am on Royal Princess next year going to Taipei and was going to ask has there been any communication about immigration procedures on arrival in Taipei. I am tossing up between a private tour or the ships shorex and if the ships tours get go through immigration first I'd book that. Take care and get well soon.

I just stumbled across your report whilst researching a similar itinerary - it was great. Well done for all the information you wrote about. Very helpful. Happy cruising.

Great review and photos thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the great update.

I have often looked at Ponant so thanks for doing a thread on your trip. It's a great itinerary for sure. What are the demographics onboard? I travel solo so wonder if it would be easy to fit in when I would want company so to speak.

Thanks for the info. I am in Nashville this week for CMA after spending the last 2 weeks touring the beautiful national parts (loved Zion). I searched Fox Sports 1 have found a replay will be Saturday morning only. So will watch that.

@NoWhiners I am in the USA at the moment can you tell how do I find out if the Swans game on 8 June is telecast somewhere. Thanks
