On nooooo 😵 sorry everyone!!

Oh no ………… I just got a red box ……… seems I might be in trouble 😳

Thank you, good to know

So, we could bring a hairdryer?

Remember though, on your first stint, no one had probably been in your cabin since 2020 😁

I’m not sure that, even if an Australian outlet is fitted that the voltage is changed - the sensible thing would be if it is wired into where the Euro were, as they are 220v. But not sure Coral ever had Euro outlets? Only way to be sure I guess is ask ships engineers or electricians - or take a multimeter - 😉

No cash in casino. You will need a casino account, once you are on board. Only place you might need cash is at ports, then you can use EFT or CC.

We will be too 😷🫧🧼

I guess if we feel unsure or concerned, we just leave our own mask on and “washy washy” heaps 😏

Was anyone aware that this will be the first week of the Qld school holidays - along with being the first 7day cruise, and one of only two ships in Australia?? Lotsa kids on board - this will be a wonderful cruise 👏😆

🙁 awww I wanted to get on quickly 🥹

This collection will be an absolute necessity on long cruises, like the WC. But you never know when or if you might need most of these items, and it allows you to remain self reliant in what is a very small community on a ship. Have most things that ozKiwi mentioned, but it’s always good to compare others lists, see what you’re missing 🙄🤔

Wonderful idea - totally up to you; you lead and guarantee, we’ll follow 👏

After Cbtours review, I’m not worried about RAT at all now 😮‍💨 Just a few possible adds if you are interested (you probably have them 😁) but here goes; magnets for keeping notices, dinner bookings etc up on the wall, keeps the cabin much tidier. I also have magnets with hooks for hats, scarves, lanyards - but beware the Medallion near magnets, just take care🙄 We also take a movement sensor night light (battery) to pop in the bathroom at night, so don’t disturb other sleeper with bright lights (good enough to do what is needed). Just on a personal note - I take scent stems as no matter what ship we’ve been in - cabins always have an ‘odour’. This is very personal of course. Have fun anyway - oh and don’t forget a cardigan / jacket or something, we have been having cool nights up this way and sometimes the ship can have “cold” spots.

Please, if there are any problems, don’t hold it against me - we had just flown 28 hours from Amsterdam and would have slept in a bus shelter 🤣😂 but everything seemed new and lovely 👍

Agreed, tho I think Irene may be enjoying the reviewing nearly as much as we enjoy reading 👏👏 Like us CDaze, you are now on a countdown to the 26th?? Have you started packing yet? Rose 🌹

So ……… are you going to start a new “Live review” …… or just continue with this one for the next 14 days?? We need to know where you are heading next, here or “Live from B2B#2” 😆😂🤣 😮‍💨

We stayed at the Airport Pullman a few weeks ago, on returning from a European International flight. Found the room (King Standard) the bed, shower and room service very acceptable - would recommend it to any considering staying here. Very short walk back to / or from Domestic terminal. The Concierge will organise taxi for you to Cruise Terminal. As stated earlier, make sure the taxi / Uber driver knows you are going to the new International Cruise Terminal at Luggage Point, Pinkenba (seems some went to the old one!!) Enjoy your cruises everyone 🚢🏝

Hmmmm …… time will tell 🤔

So true 🙂 and the cruises are shorter which will attract the crowd that can only get a couple of days off work!! Bring on the longer cruises and the ‘blue cards’ will return to PnO. Unlike all us retirees with too much time on our hands 🤣😆

Read a review yesterday that referred to “lots of Blue cards on board”. (First I had heard the term 🙄) He then went on to explain - blue cards/first time cruisers. I guess they are now “Blue Medallions” 😆 though Blue Card seems apt.

Gorgonzola is also a blue cheese 🙂 still a black n blue onion soup 👍

Here it is: Note - Roquefort cheese is a blue cheese, can use Gorgonzola instead.

Tequila sunrise - without the tequila

I have the recipe for this soup - the genuine article from Princess 🙂
