We were on a B3B on Ovation in February and March and sent our laundry twice plus did hand washing of other clothes. They did an excellent job on the laundry we sent both times! I would recommend it. ChaChing

Hi there. We'd like to know if there are separate containers of shampoo and conditioner and body wash, or is it just one? Thanks. Also, are there two CHIC nights? Please let us know if more people are NOT dressing up. Thanks! ChaChing

Thank you for posting this. I almost booked a tour there. ChaChing

Do these rules apply to carry on and checked luggage? I had no idea about any of these things! TIA. ChaChing

We finally received both of ours. It took over two hours to submit them, though. Finally got it done! Took us a couple days to receive the confirmations. ChaChing

Thanks, JeffroK ChaChing

Hello eveyone, We're on a cruise to Adelaide in March and are wondering your opinions if we should do a winery tour to Adelaide Hills, including Hahndorf or just go to Barossa wineries? If you have done both, please comment on your findings. Which wineries did you tour and were they worth it? I see that Petaluma is popular, however, the ratings are pretty low. How about Pike and Joyce or Mt. Lofty Ranges Vineyard? There are so many. Please share your experiences. Thank you! ChaChing

We have always enjoyed the "Silent Disco" also. I guess we could ask the DJ's to play some "Oldies" possibly? I'm wondering if you have any excursions planned for this South Pacific cruise? We have booked with Viator the Full Day Vanuatu Round Island Tour from Port Vila. I'm hoping Mystery Island will be open by the time of our cruise in February. Snorkeling is supposed to be wonderful there. Thanks for doing this great blog! It's much appreciated! ChaChing

One question we do have. What time do passengers have to be onboard since the ship does not leave until 6:45 p.m.? We're wondering if we can do some exploring in Sydney that day such as a tour of the Opera House which does not start until 11:30 a.m.? TIA. ChaChing

Hello. We will be on the Ovation for three cruises starting in February until March 23rd. We are reading your updates and want to see what you do on the islands in the South Pacific since we are doing that one also. Regarding your "Self Test" in Australia. We are from the U.S. and wonder if we can take our "self tests" and get a photo of the "negative" results and that will be sufficient for our cruises? Thank you for posting everything for us. This is so helpful! ChaChing

I'm wondering if there are usually flight sales on these days? If so, is it worth me waiting until that time to book for a February International flight from LAX to SYD? ChaChing

We snorkeled at Rainbow Bay in Nassau and it was the best ever! I would recommend finding a tour to snorkel. ChaChing

Thanks for all your help. We will probably be walking to Woody's or taking a bus so we'll have exact change available. ChaChing

How do you get from the ship to Woody's? I've looked at the maps but I'm still unsure. Please advise. TIA. ChaChing

Interesting information here. Thank you. We had applied and did not know that they don't require the upload of your negative test any more. They just want the $40. That's it. ChaChing
