Bad move if they think about that and only good for people south of Sydney

Yes we know that but some people don’t know or don’t care

I was on a Carnival ship I think it was the Splendor and a bloke tried to sneak into the MDR in bare feet, not sure how far he got, haven’t seen that before

Shorts is fine in the MDR on casual nights and I’ve people wear thongs too

Someone posted on facebook awhile ago that p&o instead of the 50% cruise credit they are going to give them cash instead

Geoff if you have a suite you could check 16 days out from the cruise , non platinum and below it’s 14 days you should be able to drop off your carry on once onboard but won’t have access to your card till closer towards 1.30, if you want a drink use the barcode on your boarding pass till you get your cruise card

Geoff until you’ve been on the Splendor for a short time it’s a bit crazy because you can’t go all the way thru on deck 3 or deck 4 and the only decks that go all the way are deck 5 and deck 9 best to download the Hub App and once onboard and get your cruise card at 1.30 from outside your door and put your folio number from your cruise card you can access the Hub app if you want to eat dinner in the Black Pearl restaurant for dinner (which is anytime) you book a table when your ready from the Hub app and the same for having breakfast in the Gold Pearl restaurant

On FB it was reported that the Pacific Rim was going to operate in 2026 but a short time later it was announced as a false alarm

We have stayed at 3, Cambell st Sydney, Coward st Mascot & Bondi Junction all very good and if you join their loyalty program you get a bit of a discount and you don’t pay until you get there and free cancellation 24 hours before

Les I wish you all the best

When the online check in opens at 14 days before the cruise goes it will tell on your boarding pass if you have priority boarding and if it doesn’t say you may not get it but I think seeing you have 2 booking numbers you will get platinum on the 2nd cruise

You should get platinum on the first day of the 2nd cruise only, if you had one booking that’s different but as you say you have 2 booking numbers

Another thing if your driving to the port and require parking depending when your cruising check out https://www.wilsonparking.com.au/parking-locations/queensland/brisbane-international-cruise-terminal/brisbane-international-cruise-terminal/ and you can book in from 6 months out and car park P1 or P2 is only a short walk to the terminal, just download Wilson’s app and book in

You should enjoy the Luminosa and it’s a smaller ship compared to the Splendor and check your booking and it will tell you when you can check in, 16 days or 14 days and if you want early check in set your alarm for midnight or stay up late

made error, please disregard

Carnival is a good company and the currency onboard is AUD not like Celebrity or RC and I presume you’ll be on the Carnival Splendor and being school holidays there’s a lot of kids onboard Being in a Cloud 9 suite not sure it qualifies you for priority check in but it will tell you when you check in, Platinum and above check in 16 days before departure and everyone else checks in 14 days before departure and a good idea check in opens at midnight when your allowed to check in to get early boarding of 11am Download the Hub app when you can and once onboard you can access the hub app once you get your sea pass card which opens your cabin door and with the hub app you can check your account and what’s going on around the ship and if wanting to have breakfast in the MDR you book a table by the hub app when your ready to eat

Platinum and above check in opens 16 days at 12.00am Australian time and non platinum it’s 14 days before the cruise at 12.00am

So sad of the passing and I enjoyed the reading of his posts

I came off the Carnival Splendor yesterday and Virgin were doing their airport check in and with a 12.20 flight but was informed they can only check in flights after 2pm, I’m not sure if this is a regular thing checking in after 2pm flights

Definitely no good for people flying interstate and can you imagine the overseas passengers landing at Sydney airport and then another long train trip and then do the same again on the return trip to go home

7646 is above the smoking area on deck 5 and if your on your balcony you may get a wiff from the smokers , nothing wrong with 7264 IMO

I’ve stayed in 7260 on Ovation which is much the same as Quantum and I don’t think we heard any noise from Jamie’s but if you was on the balcony you may have but I don’t think they would open very late

Cheryle it would be nice but no

Quantum of the Seas 10/10/23 x Honolulu to Brisbane 17 nights inside $999 outside $1299 balcony $1299 solo $2209
