Boarding times are something that Australian Border Force has implemented. Nothing to do with Ovation or the contract portside workers . If no line yes they may let you in . If large lines they will definitely send you away. There has been big line-ups . Again if you just want to rock up ......for dinner. ?????? Go to winjammers or go and see any of the staff at the restaurant when you board at 3pm and change your time to second sitting.. 4000 people just rocking up don't work. .........

Bring your own goggles and snorkel and walk along the beach to wrecks...free 🙃

Tangalooma resort has a deal with cruise ships to have acess to all resorts facilities and has a cat also tendering. And ship stays packing up thair small tenders while dolphin feeding tour is on and cat drops you back to ship after sun set . Shipping channel and anchorage is on resort side of Moreton Island.

Hi take up your concerns with guest services ...nothing to do with me ...op asked a question .... i dont smoke... The thread is about smoking!!!!

I read the P&O protocol yes you were allowed to smoke on balcony and were supplied a ash tray not to leave cigarette un attended etc .

Pilot drop off ? Way too quick for Medivac .

Just delivered to room 🙃 . Ovation ..a chamber of seerets..

Ovation captain corner it was said it was shelved due to the lockdown and now looking like 2025/6 .

Lucky you Hogbay 🙂..... last week after checking they handed out amended itinerary notice , no alterations just cancelled.

Yep even though on Royal I would of snapped up those Lomanosa deals. Could of done all 5 for the cost of Xmas cruise. 🤑

It's A Mystery why Ovation of the seas cancelled last week but apparently P&O could tender there ? 🤔

Two ships can dock was on Dora when her big sister also docked in Cairns. Botanical Gardens first up then pub or aquarium both involve liquids .

Another medical bak to sea after drop off.

Pilot just pulled up don't know we're we go now ?

They have a barge attached to the wharf with several steps to a pontoon set up for tender service.

What was the request?? Extra game of bingo !

Firstly it was dumping people now it's all about the shareholders profit. 🤪 Still at Vila.. MR W , Crownies US $8:25 including grat .

Thousands of people x $5 each way to town are you serious....... the vans and water taxi are there ... Royal dose not want to give up a minute it can be trading on board.
