So not really most travelled but most nights on Princess ship, do nights aboard in covid quarantine count?

To qualify for the most travelled is it: the number of cruises; the number of cruise nights; and are they only with that particular cruiseline.

If attached it needs to be PDF rather than a Jpeg or such, as the find hard to open sometimes.

I always thought it was 'Pass the the Dutchie pon the left hand side'.

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the UN’s shipping based regulator will debate a proposal, which is being presented by France, next month to enforce speed limits on ships to help the industry meet an international target of halving its greenhouse emissions by 2050. The 2008 financial crisis forced cargo ships to slow down to save money on fuel, but in recent years, the larger container ships have begun to increase speed. The new proposed limit will restrict them to their present average of about 16knots. Previously they travelled at up to 24 knots. But the biggest impact would be on the cruise industry, where ships average speeds of about 15 knots and a top speed of 22 knots. In some countries, cruise ships already have an enforced speed limit – in Canada, it’s to protect whales from ships strikes and in the Norwegian fjords to reduce pollution. The French proposal, which would introduce the first limits in international waters, says that “speed reduction leads to a significant emissions reduction and it can be implemented quickly: it is the only measure that requires little or no technical adaptation of the ships”. A spokesperson from Carnival Corporation in the United Kingdom said it would be following the debate closely. The spokeswoman said it already aimed to achieve the “optimum speed between one port and another for maximum guest comfort and efficiency of fuel and also making the best use of the time in port for guest experience”. It declined to say how much fuel it used per passenger.

CC also as cookies so they can track us.

I like biscuits as well as cookies

True but not in mixed company

Sounds fabulous

Lamb roast last night, closer to $30 per kilo.

I was wondering why you were thanking me 😉

I use a glass as well, mainly to drink from, so much more civilised than from the tap

I could manage on one for a few million.

So swans stay 4th for now, and pretty much will be playing finals.

Not scones but rock cakes

No I am rich because of my wife

I would probably by my own yacht and employ people to sail it for me.

Would need to be a pretty special occasion for me to buy that.

Not Question of the seas?

They have mostly retired now, as they are rolling in it

I was referring to Sydney OPT and Portside when I saw them all those years ago.

I had a lot of family in the bakery business, they all kneaded the dough.

Terrible when that happens, time for a new approach.

Duty free is duty free, it is classed as an international island so enables the duty-free items to be sold. I haven't been on any cruises that qualify since Covid but they have had the desk just past immigration point in the now long ago past.
