That's good - does it cover you for international waters? I keep remembering those rescues of round the world sailors whose boats have unfortunately sunk near Australia and wonder if they have to pay the cost of the search and rescue. Not that I begrudge them.... Our house is directly under the flight path for the Toll Ambulance Air Rescue service (https://www.tollambulancerescue.com.au/) and I often hear it going out or coming back in to Canberra Hospital. It can be tracked on flightradar - which is handy for me because my daughter rides horses out in the country and travels almost daily on a country road with a bad reputation. 😞

Flights are very frequent and only take about 25 minutes but by the time you get to the airport, through security etc it is just about as quick to drive. It is a great road too - literally three turns and four lane highway all the way from the centre of Sydney to the centre of Canberra. There are also hourly buses that lots of people take to get down to Sydney for cruises and back and take 3.5 hours (e.g. https://www.murrays.com.au/express-services/canberra-sydney-timetable/) and the train (which is less reliable but still nice). Let me know if you do decide to come to Canberra and I can provide more advice. 🙂

I haven't cruised royal for 3 years and I no longer drink alcohol. I will be getting the 5 daily D+ drink vouchers and was wondering if there are non-alcoholic sparking wines available in the bars/restaurants/diamond lounge etc. Alternatively does anyone have any suggestions for low sugar drinks. I like mocktails but want to avoid the weight gain that can come with them! Thanks for any information
