We could restart the well dressed movement? Let’s encourage all passengers to dress up for formal nights 👏👏🥳💃🕺 -

You were on a 3 day cruise - no formal, no need for formal clothes 😉 -
Waitlist Chance - Coral Princess

You can board without the medallion - just print out your vaccination certificates, take your ID (drivers licence or passport) and have a copy of negative RAT (digital or printed). I know from past history they can do your medallion/s in seconds - and you will be on their passenger manifest. You’ll just have to go in the blue line boarding and can probably arrive from 11:00am. Don’t forget to do Wilson’s Parking too if you are driving and need to park car. Have a great 3 days 😎🥳 -

Thanks, just the hairdryer - I have one of those travel ones that switch between 110/240 so it’s the go 👍 -

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 - 😉 -

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 👏😆

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 🙄🤔 -

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 👍 -

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 🚢🏝
