I thought you would take a modicum of pleasure Uncle Les.

Just to make you feel better, my last cruise was almost perfect. Flat seas, sunny skies, starry nights, and following breezes. It was so calm, from the promenade you could count the turtles as you passed them. Even the captain remarked it was one of the smoothest cruises he'd had.

I'm very sorry to hear that!

Now that's out of the way, can you please post any future cruises you've booked so I can cancel if necessary.[emoji14]

Thanks, one reason why I won't visit the Northern Hemisphere this time of year. :loudcry:

Too cold and too many transport interruptions.:halo:

I hope Cunard kept the doggies warm in the QM2 kennels up top.

While I feel sorry that your cruises have been so affected by the weather, I cannot help but think you brought this on yourself with your CC name. A handle like that is just asking for stormy weather.:p

seriously though, the weather will really only affect the outside activities. I hope you get better weather soon.

Sorry about your god damn bad luck!!! We don't have this problem in Sydney. Not to hot or Cold. Rain don't see that much. Plus we have the WORLD's BEST HARBOUR...

My travel motto is "Attitude is the difference between an ordeal, and an adventure."

To me wind, rain and thunderstorms equal awesome seas instead of boring flat ones.

Something we noticed recently on Ovation OTS was that it was almost too smooth crossing the Tasman. We had to skip fiordland due to a massive low pressure system heading towards NZ and we had a race to get around the bottom of the south island. We kinda missed the rockin' and rollin' of the smaller ships. Doesn't seem like a real cruise without a bit of 'weather'.

Agreed at least with the Harbour anyway.:D

Totally agree, love a bit of movement.

Not too hot, today:o:eek:

Not too much rain, mmmmmm I’ve seen the place awash.

I’ve seen ships not able to get trough the heads.

Sure all not that common but they happen.

Cruising is like camping or motorbike touring, and we've done all three, sooner or later you will be at the mercy of the elements at their worst. Three bad lots in a row is just par for the course, learn to roll with the punches and the good times are even better.

Agreed, but we all want to know the OP's cruise schedule in any case.

Yes it does rain Sometimes in Sydney. I have been through those Sydney heads in heavy rain (April 2015) Superstorm.. We went out through it, while other ships couldn't come-in. I think it was we had to get to Hawaii by a certain day. was delayed till after 10:00 so the winds would die down.. But on 16 other cruises no rain.. Love sitting in a pod or bench cruiseing out with the sun setting in the west... Oh i'm missing it now..

Our normal sail away is not a burger or plate from the buffet as the sun sets behind us.

Same with us, watch the sailaway and then onto the MDR for a cracking meal.:D

We like the bad weather on sea days like one morning up to top deck for before breakfast walk with 55knt winds across the deck and 4.5m seas,.. you suddenly feel alive and watching nature around you....

Yes and the stormy weather caused us to cancel 3 ports, so a bit a rain is fine ( damn I wish I'd shrink in rain or maybe the problem is too much food and wine )

Cheers Don

We just stay out there, often till near midnight.
