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 🙂

Oooh - I actually like sparkling water - and the Zero Mojito of course 😋

A chocobanana smoothie …😆

Ok - there you go, coincidence perhaps, that both events happened around the same time - Feb 2018?

Also think that perhaps arxcards could fill this position too - I think he’s part of the 26th June crew

Particularly when like you, I don’t drink alcohol.

That sounds like a good idea 💡 I think the 15 alcohol per day limit came onto cruises (Australian anyway) after that Carnival debacle years ago. They ( people involved) blamed overindulgence in alcohol. Or so I heard 🙄

Hasn’t it always been though 🙄

Not understanding this - these are the T&Cs for our cruise

True, but will they 🤔

Pretty sure it will. I’m in big trouble on the Plus package if they limit it to 15 total drinks a day, I can do that in soda, coffee, juice and water - easy!!

OPT in Sydney can manage it and more, Im sure Brisbane will manage as well. 👍

I can do that now, but … truly can’t step out there that far financially, from that generation I guess. Need to have the $$ available to feel secure. As we say, this couple have made a choice and good on them - none of us truly know their circumstances or why they made this decision 🤷‍♀️

Saved for the grandkids 😆

Found this for you, lists the type and price per glass / bottle:

Hi again Cbtours - I gather you are heading for Airlie today? I tried really hard, but it’s a touch cloudy & cool for up here, so I’ll try to do better tomorrow 😳😎

Sorry Cbtours back on track ~ how are things going for you this morning, how was dinner/show and first night? (At least we are all in the same time zone atm) Loving the suite? Rose 🌹

Regardless - still the $$$ just confounds me 😵‍💫 Too much for this old brain to comprehend. Each to their own though 😎

It says they have organised all cruises through a clean TA 😉 My mind still can’t get around the cost of 795 days at sea - the rough maths 😮 : - eg: assume $250pp/pd = $500.00 x 795 - TOTAL: $397,500.00AUD. And I bet they aren’t in an interior cabin - so I say double that, as a minimum. And ……… unless they sold their home, they have rates, upkeep, insurances, car rego/s …………… See …… mind boggling 🫠🫣😵‍💫😵🥴 Have to say not for me, on just one ship even, - but good luck to them I say - if this is what they have chosen to do 😆 We will be able to pick who they are on any given Coral cruise - they’ll be the ones calling all the crew by first name, asking about crew member families, etc etc etc 😂
