We had been folllowing your progress and would love to hear something about the cruise from the being on board aspect. Will you be doing a review? I hope you do and post the link here.:D

Won't have time to do a review, I am travelling to London to board the Ruby Princess.

But I can tell you this. Average age 70 - not surprising. Very friendly staff, food very good, all the passengers I met were very friendly. Actually, even though 3/4 way through the cruise everyone is still in holiday mode, no long faces of boredom or "are we there yet" attitude, which you can get with so many repeat world cruisers. Ship is looking a tad worn, but the entertainment staff were the best. Couldn't do enough to keep everyone happy.

I will be on the Sea Princess from New York to Sydney next year. Will be interested to see what it is like compared to this years cruise.

Got off the Dawn last week - Sydney to New York.

David,

We have it better here in Pyrmont. We get to look at the cruise ships all day and no traffic problems to speak of.

I have booked New York to Sydney. Have booked an inside and hope they have a sale next year and maybe buy an upgrade. This time we want to go on the Machu Picchu tour.Twenty months to go!

Thanks Gae,

I have Savings Certificates for my cruises in February. The certificates are available on the website until 31 October.

cheers
