    We were recommended by a friend to stay at Rydges, Sydney Harbour. Anyone have any feedback?

    Hi,

    We stayed there in May prior to/after our South Pacific cruise. We will stay there in September prior to/after our Great Barrier Reef cruise. The hotel is older. It was clean and convenient to the market and restaurants.  We are seniors and we walked to the cruise terminal and back to the hotel afterwards. Location location location!! In May and upon our June return we could observe the VIVID Sydney lights on the roof.  We walked around and enjoyed VIVID even more.

  2. We sailed on the: 

    Fascination March 1-8, 2020 and

    Dream March 12-16, 2020

     

    San Juan airport was packed with 4 large ships returning on March 8th.

    The Dream required health screening and temperature check prior to boarding.

    We were the last ship returning to Galveston. I felt safer on the ship than I did after returning home!

     

  3. Just returned from Antarctica aboard the MS Midnatsol.  

    I wore one pair of heavy wool socks with the boots provided and my feet were never cold.

    Best advice I received on these board was to layer, good wool socks, and waterproof pants.

    My hands were cold only when I removed my gloves to take pictures.  I took hot pockets but never

    used them.

    Walking/trekking sticks were provided.

    I hope your expedition is as awesome as ours!
